      I have done it both ways. I prefer the sure gel on small batch that I mix by hand. It is easier to get good protein extraction. I don’t use it on bigger batch that I use my mixer. I don’t notice a difference on overall product quality.

        Jesser I use sure gel almost any time I am making any cured product now. Now, I don’t have to pay the $6 but when averaged out over 25 lb and when you factor in the whopping 3-5% (italics for a reason PapaSop ) it isn’t that much. It just gives that extra layer of confidence that the product isn’t going to fat out during the smoking process.

          👍😄 As you said. Sure Gel in every cured product. Cost doesn’t matter.

            Jonathon is the sure gel sold by Walton the same as the sure gel you can find in the canning section at the grocery store???

              With the current cost of beef & pork like Jonathon said it gives me that extra dose of confidence.

                Thanks to all for your replies I really appreciate it. Love the Walton hot link seasoning. Just started using sure gel in beef sticks. Liked the results in the sticks. Going to try in hot links based on the replies. Thanks again.

                  Dr_Pain the sure jell for making jams, jellies, ECT… Is not the same. Sure gel for sausage making will help with protein extraction.

                    Dr_Pain Sure-jell is fruit based, Sure Gel is basically milk based

                      Dr_Pain As others have said, they are different products. We have done some testing with gelatin-based things and it doesn’t seem to work out well.
