Thank you! It was hard to find something that was specifically made for baking vs instant. Question, what should someone look for ? To be honest, I took a risk and used the non fat instant powdered mil from Walmart.

processhead Curious, is there a problem if I ordered powdered milk with fat? I found the below item before I seen this and now I’m slightly concerned! LOL It is a Spanish product but significantly cheaper than the other powdered milk products.

Thanks gents! That helps.

How long does everyone think a summer sausage’s shelf life is in the fridge (uncut)?

I saw them (about 10 or so) last year late November or early December, they were easily visible with the naked eye… I thought my eyes were fooling me until I did a little research. If I remember correctly, there will be more added to extend the range.

smokinbubba Hand crank for now, but eventually I’ll look to a grinder but that is 2-3 years off.

Jonathon I was looking into buying the Waltons 50lbs mixer after bad experiences with the Weston 44lbs version. However, you mentioned that you guys are looking into changes. Would you reccomend to wait? Also, does the Waltons mixer have less parts? The weston had a lot of small parts that could easily be lost.
