Jonathon said in How To Make Homemade Snack Sticks:
keoni02 I agree with processhead (as usual) make a small batch to test it out. I would start at using it at a ratio of 4/5th the amount of meat (20 lb of meat to a 25 lb batch of seasoning) and then just fry up the results to see how it goes. Absolutely use sure cure if you are going to smoke it.
Just curious Jonathon, is reducing the seasoning by 4/5 because of the added drying and overall moisture loss in the meat during thermal processing?

smokinbubba NICE score, you are going to be happy with that one and good job with clean up! You shoud see how dirty some of the old equipment that comes in to our service shop is!

For those that walked thru the meat markets in the 50’s every morning the butcher would add a little magic power to the ground beef and pork ( cure#1) … Mixed it up. Ground meat looked great. Bright red every time. Happy Dance.

Yeah, the chart is for use in an applied humidity environment so the internals are heated faster
That is probably why it is so close to the Sous Vide chart -
hawktalon99 Fresh or smoked … Try egg whites. I buy by the milk carton, 16-32oz ! or 2 egg whites per kg (2lbs) and that is the old German method. Works great. Just what i do…

kzwisconsin what do you mean by stick? Is it pulling meat with the casing while trying to pull off? Mine are tight to casing however i just take a sharp knife and cut the casing on top then start from one end and it peels right off after cooking. It is troublesome with it being hot so i may try taking it off after the icebath once. However i do like the added protection from freezer burning with the casing on.

processhead great info, thanks.

The smoking schedules and thermal processing have a couple objectives.
Raise the internal temperature of the product to the desired “kill” temperature to make a safe product. Add smoke flavor. Bind and dry the product to the desired texture. Activate any special additives like ECA, as just one example.It is important to realize that it is possible to do all of the above with different schedules. So there is no one right answer.
Regardless of the schedule used, it is usually possible to achieve all of those objectives.
Personally, when I am doing something new, I do ongoing hands-on monitoring throughout the thermal processing to track progress.

I think it would work either way.
The only issue with adding a lot of dry ingredients together with the water, it sometimes the mix can get too thick, and clump up. Not just carrot fiber, but any recipe with a lot of dry ingredients being added to water.
Sometimes it just means adding a little additional water to keep it all flowable, which usually is OK too. -
stupid facebook changes to my location!

Carrot for fresh and sure gel for cured
Carrot will help hold the liquid in for a juicier sausage
In your case it will bind with the natural moisture and some of the fat in the meat and you will be fine however some water would have been better
As you well know Midwest_kc the biggest factor is over cooking, get them too hot and all the juiciness will be a distant memory no mater what the mix LOL
