Cheese puffs as binder?
-
samspade On KETO, I use pork rinds as a binder for meatloaf and meatballs. Works great. I dont see why your idea wont work.
lkrfletcher that sounds good. I have been on a pork rind kick lately! Love those crunchy little buggers!

lkrfletcher I’ll be trying this on a smoked meatloaf soon. Thanks for the idea.

They also light on fire if you are in a pinch to start a fire.

samspade johng and I made |Nacho-Cheese-Flavored-Jerky-Snack-Stick-Seasoning and added some cheese puffs instead of the binder yesterday. We are going to give it another shot today to figure out % of puff to meat but it took what is a mild good but slightly underwhelming snack stick seasoning and turned it into a kick-ass seasoning! Now, as a “BINDER” it might not have worked all that well, we will find out more today but for kicking up the taste, holy moly it was good!

Jonathon thats cool. I wondered if you wouldn’t experiment with it!

Wow. I was hoping someone would try it. I cant stuff anything until my fridge gets here. The boss does not like the meat sitting overnight in her fridge. Please put the final % used when you get dialed in. Thanks #Jonathan

We did batches of 1, 2.5 and 4% today so we will see what the best ratio is. I have a feeling the “binder” aspect of it isn’t going to work great. In the sample one we did yesterday there was some texture degradation with the added flavor.

This is why I love coming to this site, would have never thought of cheetos in sausage or snack sticks. Now I am curious and will probably try it. Don’t normal put cheese in either.
-
Yeah I could see how it might turn into a paste as the water and fat get worked in. Maybe crunchy cheetos broken up but still chunky LOL

bocephus ditto, lots of interesting discussion happening here

Ridley Acres I agree lots of interesting things and some are way out there but it keeps me thinking.

I was eating some cheetos and noticed they were sticking to my teeth and got to wondering…
Is it possible to pulverize cheetos then add them to a sausage or franks to give it a cheese flavor and act as a binder? -
Jonathon I think you should try some sticks with jalapeño cheetos and see how those do for flavor. I love those things!!!
-
Or the fire hot red ones
-
I was thinking the Flaming hot like samspade said but we might try a few more IF we can get the texture figured out. Right now, 2 or 2.5% of the weight seems to be the sweet spot but unless adding a bind significantly improves the texture I don’t think it is worth it. Now, it ABSOLUTELY bumps up the flavor of the |Nacho-Cheese-Flavored-Jerky-Snack-Stick-Seasoning but after they sit for a day or two the texture degrades further.
Getting ideas for tests is something we have done, this one was more cause I wanted johng to understand we want to try new and different things here BUT we’d love more suggestions like this, it is a lot of fun when you guys suggest things and then we go and try them and report back!

Just a thought, since the texture is a problem with using cheetos, how about a regular binder and add seasoning from the nacho cheddar popcorn flavor shakers.

Grimpuppy What is the salt content of these shakers do you know? That is the only thing I would worry about if you were already using a mix from Waltons.

Thanks Jonathan you guys have way more time and patience to try the ideas we come up with. Its slot harder when the prep and cook space is family sized.

bocephus thinking is a good thing new ideas and thoughts are a good thing for everyone !
