<![CDATA[My first attempt at hot dogs]]>I have been wanting to try hot dogs for a while. Have been holding off till I find a way to emulsify the mix. I was at my dad’s house a couple days ago and noticed an old school Cuisenart Professional 14 food processor sitting on top the kitchen cabinets. Mom passed a couple years ago so I asked dad if he uses it. He said it aint moved since mom passed, so I loaded it up and brought it home. This thing is a tank and weighs like 20 pounds. I am hoping this does the trick. Wish me luck. 10F93BD9-64D9-44FC-9A38-7338D1C2A8AB.jpeg

I did a little over a pound at a time in the food processor. More than that and the motor gets hot.

I’m doing hotdogs next weekend and was going to use a food processor. Did you just use the metal chopping blade? I have both a plastic and metal but seeing as you added ice cubes I would think the metal is the way to go.

I think ours is a Black & Decker & a tank. It may be Cuisinart though as we got a lot of their stuff back in the late 70’s to mid 80’s. It is a tank. Ours was given to us as a gift if I am remembering correctly, nearly 40 years ago. I always worry what we will do if the bowl ever gives out or the blades need sharpening. It seems like it could go for another 40 years, but I had better keep my mouth shut!

Grimpuppy said in My first attempt at hot dogs:

.4 oz smoked meat stabilizer
.2 oz hickory smoke powder
1.2 oz sure gel
4.8 oz Frank and Bologna unit

?? What kind of ingredients are these? Not sure I would even bother with this. Not being mean, but, what is the salt, pepper, mace, coriander, etc… content? I always like to know what spices (or perservatives) are in my food. Guessing the outcome is worse than having monosodiumwhatthehell in a store-bought hotdog.

Smoked meat stabilizer is a cure accelerator. It lets you go strait to the smoker without holding it overnight in the fridge.

Hickory smoke powder is just that. Imparts a little extra smoke flavor.

Sure gel to help bind it all together.

Frank and Bologna unit is Waltons hot dog seasoning. It has all the spices pre measured and mixed so there is no guessing.

It has all of the spices listed on the label. The posted recipe was not “made from scratch”.

We like the old fashion, they are spicier. Every time we go to MN we pick them up.

I’ve got a bunch of the 26mm cellulose sitting around that I’ve done a couple things with. I might have a to make some dogs. Or perhaps some small-diameter cured/smoked/skinless brats. Been thinking about that for a while… it’d probably be similar to hotdogs, just not emulsified and different seasoning. Any of you guys have experience doing that? I’m thinking something like these (which say they have a collagen casing, but I’m thinking of trying with cellulose).
