Roll Call (Start Here First)

Before you go believing the Blue Team Hype, understand that today, Jonathon (The Blue Team Leader [mascot]) posted this picture of an awesome looking hat. I can also submit examples of him wearing orange hats. He knows the deal. Someone’s got to take one for the team and manage the Blue Team. Might as well be him…

AndyHCMC what kind of sausages do you want to make? Fresh or cured? If you are fairly new to this hobby I would go fresh. Maybe a breakfast or banger style. The banger would even work with your panko, but I would still make the panko smaller.
YooperDog Keen on breakfast & trying snack sticks but dont have access to all the pre-made packets etc that are mentioned on forum.
Have made pork but used panko breadcrumbs, after watching the breakfast sausage video i’ll skip the crumbs and see how they work out.I’m trying to find ECA here in Vietnam so far no luck, I’ve got a benchtop convection cooker that has 100C/212F - 250C/480F dial on it and below the 100C it shows a further turndown to “Min” so I will figure out what the “Min” setting is when I get my thermocouple for temp meter.
If it goes down to 120-130f I would like to try snack sticks - I’ve just bought a whole load of dried spices and ordered some salt cure no1# from a local shop.
Anyone have a mix of spices I can try for the snack sticks?Looks like from your map page I’m the only Vietnam member?
I wonder if that’s worth a free bag of sausage mix for snack sticks sent to HCMC Vietnam hahahhaha
Update: I have just managed to find a product made by WIBERG - Germany called, Frischex A Natural Preservative ingredients are : Sodium acetate, Ascorbic acid, Sodium chloride. could I use this instead of ECA?New to sausage making, love snack sticks, breakfast sausage, jerky.
Equipment: cheap mixer/stuffer, 3L/7lb 2 speed stuffer.
Live in an apartment so limited room and only have a benchtop 50L convection oven & kitchen aid mixer. -

I agree not to add any panko to the breakfast. If you like bangers, they might work there. I am not sure of the mix that you have found, maybe Jonathon and the team at Walton’s can give you a better idea. There are some pretty good recipes out there for sticks and sausages out there if you don’t have access to premixed ingredients. Kabanosy is a mild Polish stick. It sounds like you have access to ingredients just not the premix.

AndyHCMC It SOUNDS like that is similar to our Smoked Meat Stabilizer , its ingredients are “Dextrose, Salt, Ascorbic Acid (6.24%), Sodium Citrate (3.12%).” Interesting that Germany calls salt sodium chloride, seems like that would cause more questions from people instead of just saying salt?
So, that’s obviously not ours so I can’t recommend it or say don’t use it, all I can say is it does seem to have a similar makeup to a cure accelerator of ours. Smoked Meat Stabilizer adds some tang but not nearly as much as ECA. Also, for our smoked meat stabilizer it is important that you do NOT add it to a brine, it can gas out dangerously fast!

blpevehouse A friendly competition. Austin is Team Orange and Jonathon is Team Blue. You can pick a color in your settings. It creates some friendly banter and rivalry between the sides every now and then, seeing who has the most members.
