What did everyone cook today?

processhead looks great Paul! How long did that cure, seemed pretty short? Do you have a good timing for a pumped cure? I’m kinda guessing for mine, thx!
4 days cure time on this one. Random samples tasted while slicing all had uniform flavor, color and juiciness, although slices at each end of the loin were a bit dryer than the ones half an inch in.
For a dry cure I usually figured 1/2 to 1 inch penetration per day.
Since this was pumped with wet cure, the cure time is shortened significantly.
When ever you bring the cure inside the meat, it is no longer only penetrating from the outside in, it is also penetrating from the inside out as well.
Plus, a cure in solution is going to move through the meat more readily than a dry cure that is relying on only the juices in the meat for osmotic movement of the salt, sugar, and nitrite.Paul

Thanks for your great notes on the pork loin you made elsewhere.

processhead are you making Canadian bacon out of that?
This will all be sliced and packaged. We like it mostly served cold for sandwiches and to set out with other charcuterie-type dishes.
Some of will end up as pizza topping and some of it will be shared with family and friends.I showed the slicer so no one mistakenly thinks I hand sliced that whole loin.
processhead You’re hilarious with the “slicer statement”. Just a Note: I used that knife to hand slice pork tenderloins and it can produce thin cuts if necessary. It’s a really nice product for many future events.

I started with blue ribbon brat mix and added hi temp blue cheese and franks buffalo powder. Too tired to cook one tonight so I will try them in the morning, they do smell good tho.

We used the same recipe as doing pork belly. It was a house made wet brine, injected and smoked as you would with pork. We did the same in making beef bacon. Nothing too fancy.

I’m frustrated. I took a pic to try and post it. Nothing elaborate, just some brats on the grill. Sometimes I just want to post a pic of a big bowl of popcorn to keep it real.

Deepwoodsbutcher Wow. Now you’re showing off and that’s a very good thing. Never had lamb bacon or knew it was a “thing”. Yay for you.

I don’t think I have ever had any cured lamb products before. I just imagine it as being quite different than pork or beef.

Dave in AZ they add just the right amount of sweetness in my opinion. I make my Wi summer sausage the same way. I highly recommend them
