Cheese puffs as binder?
-
It would probably be worth a try on a small batch. Sounds interesting at least!
-
or even to do a comparison of Cheetos and cheese curls
-
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?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 I just was reminded we used pork rinds as breading for fried chicken years ago.

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

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

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!
