He said it was right at 400 lbs. Maybe its just me but black hided animals always look bigger than they actually are. Had I been guessing I would have thought it broke 400.

Poach is the word, :wink: and yes, that is exactly the reason. A portion of the salt in the meat will be drawn out by the water. And if you don't adjust for that in the sausage, you can poach in salted water.

the first time in my gardening life, Western Washingtons weather has blessed me with a huge crop of tomatoes . It is because of this that i am asking my fellow sausage makers (and great cooks) for your fav salsa recipes. Both SW style(blk beans and corn) and just regular style. nearly every recipe...

Scott Rea is one my favourite virtual butchers and he has just released an instructional video about making a tomato and pork sausage. I thought it would be an excellent addition to this thread. Looks like a sausage that is definitely worth trying. :grin: And will possibly help Pignout with dealing...

All the stuff I have been making so far has been with commercial pork. My sources have been supermarkets, a wholesaler and Costco. I have been wanting to try a heavier heritage hog raised on a small farm for a while and today ordered a side. It's a Berkshire Tamworth cross and will be ready at the...

As far as telling the farmer to stick the pig, it would not have been that easy since I put down a $100 deposit. :shock: And I did not want to burn any bridges. Of course in the end I ended up paying a premium for the small amount of meat I got. :cry: Next time I will take the time to drive out and...

I have noticed that some list their recipe percentages based on total meat weight and some base it solely on the actual meat weight not taking into consideration the added fat. Is there a right way to do this?
Last post
That's how I've always done it .... total weight but I've been converting some things to metric and came across several recipes that just wasn't working out till I realized they were based on meat only. I thought it odd at first then wondered if there wasn't some reason or some other school of...

Tell us how's fishing in your neck of the woods these days. I usually fish from shore on a river in Port Alberni for Sockeye this time of year and so far nothing. Way too warm, and the rivers are low. :sad:

I thought I would respond here so we don't hijack king...

Thanks for the fishing update Pat. Last winter's smaller than usual snow pack in the mountains, warm and early spring and now the hot and dry summer is has certainly messed up the salmon fishery here. Especially true for guys like me who like to fish close to shore around the estuaries. And of...

Not around much but still kicking. I have been busy learning how to fly my big boy toy and edit video. This is a video of the falls about 1/2 mile down the road from me filmed with my Yuneec Q500+ Typhoon. Quadcopter.

Thanks guys, ya it bit a big hole in the pension check but we all need toys :mrgreen:
The video feed back to me is suppose to be 500 meters. The control range is much farther. If it ever got out of control range it has a function that it will return to the home position and land with in 20 feet...

I just returned from a two week visit to China. It was my second time there and this time we toured the Yunnan province and then cruised the Yangtze from Chongqing to Wuhan. Fascinating place, totally different than what most people imagine it to be. I'm hardly a travel writer and I usually don't...

If you read the dry cure recipe in the recipe section on this site, there are two measures for salt. :oops: I would think one is for cure #2. What is the correct recipe?
Pastrami may be dry cured. For 1 kg (2.20 lb.) beef use:
20 g salt (31/2 tsp.)
100 g salt ( 81/2 Tbsp.)
2.5 g (1/2 tsp.) Cure...

**As an aside, the recipes on here are great but I have to admit it's a bit hard when the recipe jumps around from giving ingredients by weight and then all of a sudden we have tbs and tsp mixed in there. I'm learning to cook by weight and find that using grams is way easier to follow when...
