Bowl cutting question (adding salt)

IVERYAN said in Bowl cutting question (adding salt):
processhead Thank you for the info. What size of a bowl does your chopper have? Mine is 18" & i was hoping to load it with 12.5 lbs. Maybe i should start out with a smaller amount.
The bowl on my chopper is 15". It is an ancient Hobart buffalo chopper with a #12 grinder on the other end.
Though your bowl has more capacity, I doubt you will be able to fit the entire 12.5 lbs. Suggest you add meat mix to the bowl gradually. You will be able to hear the machine begin to load down as you reach its capacity.
I would be very interested to hear back from you on how it goes.
processhead thank you. I will let you know. Should be fun no matter what happens.

I just watched some videos on bowl chopping, very impressive

I don’t know the age or condition of your chopper, and maybe you know this already.
To perform at its best, the knives on your chopper need to be honed as sharp as you can possibly get them. -
smokinbubba there has been some posts about juicers that emulsion meat that you can use for small batches of bologna & hot dogs I forget the brand name

Yep, thats me. Its a champion juicer. Makes awesome bambi dogs and bambi bologna. Just takes a Loooong time to feed sticky meat into. Small throat. A bowl chopper with ice would make a superior emulsion in a fraction of the time.

twilliams I have found more than a few bowl cutting videos out there. Almost all involving meat emulsion are the huge commercial machines. The ones with my machine (hobart) are almost all vegtables, pulled pork etc. They are fun to watch though.
-
From what I gather, the big commercial choppers turn at much higher RPMs. These smaller bowl choppers have some limitations for sausage making. I don’t think mine could give the fine emulsion like you see in a commercial bologna or wiener.

IVERYAN They are probably too large, screenshot them and try posting again.

IVERYAN wow that turned out nicely

Here is my batch i did today ranch and fajita, grind twice and mix by hand. As you can see i get shrinkage showing some casing wrinkle.

Those look great. You would never know they were mixed by hand.

It looks like you are getting a pretty fine emulsion there. -
Here’s the process that I’ve been using for frankfurters

Stop @58F
Pivodog Apologies for my delayed response. I was having problems logging in with the app.
Yes, the snack sticks turned out great. I have only had time to use the bowl cutter once for meat emulsion. I made a 25 lb block & tried to get it done with 2-12.5lb batches in the cutter. It was a little too much, so I plan to process 25 lbs in 3 batches in the future.
Jonathon shared a bowl cutter recipe from a meat cutting class he took at Wisconsin. I will post it on the board if he is ok with me doing that. It is very similar to what you posted, except it breaks it down a little further. It says to stop @58F like you do.
I stopped both of my batches at around 44F. For some reason the temp was rising very slowly & I had great protein extraction at that point. - Add Meat
