Pairing Cheese With Meat Products - Adding Hi-Temp Cheese to your Summer Sausage, Snack Stick, Bratwurst or other meat snack is a great way to add some extra taste to your meat. However, how do you choose the best or most interesting cheese for your seasoning? We have a video coming out that will list some of the best combinations for each cheese and some really interesting pairings.

What Projects are we looking ahead at?

I am going to play around with some Ahi Tuna and making Jerky out of it. I saw an add the other day for some Tuna Jerky and I had honestly never thought of making jerky from any fish but it was interesting enough to make me want to try it. I am going to do a few small pieces in a few different seasonings. I am thinking Habanero Lime for sure and maybe Teriyaki Jerky. If anyone has a good suggestion I’d love to hear it!

What’s on our Mind?

I think marinating ribs and using the 3-2-1 method (three hours at 220° unwrapped, then 2 hours wrapped and then 1 hour unwrapped) is my favorite way to make ribs. I marinate them in Pa’s Black Bull the night before, it contains phosphates so it will pick up more of the marinade, then I rub them with my favorite seasoning and put them on for 3 hours with the bone side down. Then I pull them off, put a bunch of butter and brown sugar in foil and wrap them and put them meat side down for 2 hours, this allows the meat to cook in the butter and sugar. Then I pull them and put them on for another hour or 45 minutes to let them crisp back up. If anyone wants a sauce with it they can add it after though I will glare at them while they eat as my ribs don’t need a suace. I’m not angry at them for doing it, I’m just disappointed!

New Products

Weston Meat Tenderizer/Slicer works great as both a tenderizer and a slicer. It’s a great way to slice meat for fajitas or for whole muscle jerky and it is great way to tenderize a tough piece of meat for cooking! It has clamps to lock down onto your table to keep it from rocking while you are using it and it disassembles for easy cleaning!
