Shucks Tooth!
Everybody knows you're right. I was just talkin' like a big shot. Truth is, I have more honeydew projects than you can imagine. The thing that really bothers me is that they increase in number as my old bones get older! :shock: Good luck with your paintin'!

Hi,
I just bit the bullet by purchasing a brand-new mincer, all stainless, #22 with enough different size plates and knives to last me a lifetime.
My old mincer finally gave up the ghost or at least the plastic gear on the motor did.
I tried to buy an Italian made one but no supplies anywhere for a...

There is is no brandname on it, but it looks like all the others for sale everywhere including Ebay.com/au etc.
There are 2 models, one with a total weight of 29kg and mine that is 36 kg. The lighter model has a lot of aluminium in it. Mine is all stainless where it counts..
I checked both out but...

In the markets this week I have a choice Fresh picnics or fresh butts. The picnics are 1.04 per pound and the butts are 1.29 per pound. Is there anything that can be done with a picnic that can not be done with a butt?
The picnic has a big slab of skin and the whole leg bone and the shank thus...

We get back to the picnic before the beer gets warm. From the boned picnic I got 5 pints of stock from cooking the bones and skin, and 7 and a 1/2 pounds of good meat. Not as good a yield as from a butt and with much more sinew. I divided the meat into 3 two and a half pound portions. I ground on...

Just wondering what you guys typically use? I'm pretty paranoid about sanitation when grinding meat and making sausages so I'm sure everything is thoroughly sanitized prior to being ground, throughout the sausage making process when cleaning things, and when I put hings away. Last batch I used a...

Hi,
As a beer brewer and very small hobby distiller I am a regular user of Sodium Metabisulphite. The fumes do sterilise anything I use, from plastic barrels to airlocks, O rings, stirrers etc etc .
Never had any problems but as Ross mentioned, just plain bleach will work just a good.

I just returned from the market with a couple of fresh pork shoulder picnics. The price is very attractive at 1.04 USD per pound. Right next to the picnics were whole fresh hams for the same price but careful reading showed very fine print that stated that they contained 12% solution which raises...

Swallow,
I fully agree you about how modern pork actually taste. It is crap. I used to make salami in winter in Victoria, Australia for many years wit Italian friends.
All the pigs were reared in the paddock and fed on crap vegetables, acorns, apples, pears and hammermilled grains.
The meat was...

Hi Siggi,
Your recipe is very interesting to me because of the temperature for drying and smoking.
Here in the Sub-Tropics cold smoking is out of the question for me anyhow.
Did you adapt this recipe from an original one or is it yours after trial and error.
What size casings do you recommend as I...
