<![CDATA[QUESTION: How do you handle the leftover mince in the stuffer???]]>As the title say, what do you guys do with the left over mince?

I normally keep a small batch for pH testing purposes and try to hand stuff the rest in the casing but I am sure that there might be a less labor intensive way to handle this problem? (I HATE wasting stuff!!)

Can you just take it, bag it and freeze it to combine with the next batch OR is it not possible to do that especially if you mix in ECA and or fermenting cultures like Bactoferm LHP etc…)

Dr_Pain I’ve taken a smaller stuffing tube, covered it in plastic wrap and used that to push the mince out of the original tube. Works pretty well with something you already have on hand.

I have done this as well. As you said it does work great!

I take the leftover and form a log close to the size of snackstick I’m making and throw it in the smoker with the rest. Just have a little skinless snack stick

Now that is an idea I hadn’t though about

Dr_Pain Looks like a good process, how do you clean it when done?

I washed them with plain ol’ soap and water after I was done. Before I was done I washed them with soap and water and used Iodophor dilution as per instructions.

Dr_Pain that looks like the best option so far. Looks like I need to visit the PT folks where I work. Thanks for sharing.

Speaking of gumbo… I have some in the fridge as we speak 😉

Actually you can pick those up on Amazon. You would have to visit someone that works with sensory reintegration to have something like these and not many PTs specialize in that. Most of the stuff I use at the clinic have graduated levels of squishiness and most often are puttylike not a perfect sphere.

Dr_Pain congrats, Looks like you may have nailed it.
I see squishy [censored] are non toxic and besides they will not contact the mince for long

I did clean them and sanitize them with iodophor before using them so since they are thermoplastic the likelihood of a cross contamination is small. They are Non-Toxic, BPA/Phthalate/Latex-Free so… worse case scenario and the get pinched or split and I lose a small chunk into the mince I can fish it out and all is well.

The last pic shows how squishy. The amount of mince left over was little and was a breeze to stuff through the horn

I roll/flatten the left overs between some parchment paper cur with a pizza cutter and make reconstructed jerky sticks, zero wasted.

That is a great idea!!!

Let us know how the stress ball works. I was trying to finds something to uses that was compressible, flexible, non toxic and cheap. Cooked rice was all I could come up with, but no doubt there are better options out there.

I will experiment with some tear resistant pliable/malleable stress ball (Non-Toxic, BPA/Phthalate/Latex-Free thermoplastic rubber) that we use with hand therapy and for sensory integration with our Down’s patient. Send one or 2 down the stuffer and press it to the horn. They clean up and can be sanitized easily. Should be an interesting experiment!!!
