Man, this makes me REALLY regret missing out on one at the auction I DIDN’T go to! Gorgeous machine

Nicolai Great way to look at it. The guy bidding against me turned out to be a dealer in used restaurant equipment, and he did tell me he was ready to go much higher!

Great deal! I missed one just like it by $50 once, bid went at $750, I only had $700.

I keep a steel on the end of my apron chain, and use it regularly. That does look like something my son might like, as he dislikes pulling his blade down the steel towards his knuckles.

Nice machines! I hear you on the too cold bit, I don’t spend any more time outside than necessary right now.

I can watch a shaper cut for hours. That’s good, since it takes hour to get anything done! But, when a shaper is the right tool, nothing else will get it done at the same cost and especially with the minimal tooling it needs.

OK, the hams look well on their way to delicious, but I spotted the shaper in the background of your third photo, and was wondering if you butcher in your machine shop? I would kill to get my hands on a shaper for my shop, I run into the need to make custom splines from time to time, and you cant beat a nice little Atlas or South Bend benchtop shaper for that!

smokinbubba Great to know for planning purposes, thanks!

YooperDog SupplySergeant my oldest boy is about ready to solo. He is a filltime Firefighter/Paramedic so I’m hoping he is on top of his flight training.

I’ve been frustratingly slow, myself. Only managed to get 12 hours in over the last year. When I have money, either the weather, the plane, or my instructor aren’t available! But I will get there eventually. Good luck to your son!

YooperDog said in Canned corned beef hash:

SupplySergeant enjoy the learning and never stop. Always think about what should I be doing or planning next. Get ahead of the plane and you will be surprised on how much fun it is. Enjoy the view.

Thanks! I find I am an “out the window” flyer, rather than a “fly the dials” guy. Hopefully, I can get through PP and instrument and still enjoy flying!

YooperDog I really get that these days, I’m a student pilot. It is truly amazing how fast things can go wrong in a plane!

YooperDog said in Canned corned beef hash:

SupplySergeant those things are a fire and gassing hazard. Nothing more exciting than having a fire on your plane at altitude with limited options, makes for a real exciting time for all. I can laugh about those times now. LOL

I can only plead the ignorance of the E2 Private! I’ve long since learned that lesson!

marzig20 a great introduction to canning meat is to grab cheap chicken thighs sections for 49 cents and make stock. If you can safely can stock you can make anything cuz that stuff is literally the same thing that biologists use to grow bacteria samples!

sheleyp1 Did the guy eat it cold? I tried to use the MRE heater in a C130 once, I thought the loadmaster was gonna chuck me off the ramp!

Garry Tarpley Presto makes a version of the 23 quart that has a stainless plate embedded in it for induction cooktops. I think Mirro make a stainless canner, but not sure.

marzig20 I have far too little patience to watch the little dial! Glad to make someones life easier.

Looks delicious!

smokinbubba Just out of curiosity, how many jars did that take?

GWG8541 You won’t regret it! I recommend canning it in pints, rather than quarts. No safety or quality issues with quarts, just most recipes call for two cups at a time.

cdavis Thanks! I’ve lurked here from the beginning, just glad to have something I am knowledgeable enough to help, rather than be helped! There is a enormous amount of knowledge and experience here, glad to be part of it.

marzig20 Hot pack or cold pack isn’t going to matter much with pressure canning, it WILL get hot all the way through! I would use a broth to fill the gaps in the jar either way, since air bubbles are a total no-go for canning.
