Bologna help
-
Had my first run of bologna. Came out with good flavor but little dry and not the same texture as bought bologna . Any help on this.

If you are talking about and emulsified product then moisture was/is not in the meat to begin with or your cook schedule was too high to quick. Salt, phosphates, fats, and binders can affect end product too.

If your goal is to make a “commercial” grade bologna then you will need the commercial environment (equipment, temp, process). A bowl cutter would be needed. The dryness could be because of fatting out or because you did not add enough water in the recipe

There are a few ways to emulsify at home. Most common way is a high quality food processor. After 3 fine grinds, do a couple pounds max at a time in the food processor with ice. I let the food processor run for 5 minutes for each batch. I had real good luck with both bologna and hot dogs.

Grimpuppy I bet that made good bologna.

Grimpuppy That emulsion looks great. Can’t wait to try that on dinner liverwurst. Thanks.
