Jonathon Thank you for answering. I have searched all over and found nothing myself. It was a thought. Appreciate the suggestion. BTW, I did see where one person uses Paprika to keep a little color in the meat but that I think would give an earthy flavor to the product.

I want to make fresh not smoked nitrate free Hot Dogs. After stuffing I am hot bathing them to 160. These are all beef I must add. What can I use to keep the color so they don’t end up grey looking and have that nice pink color?
