Made 10 lbs of Jalapeno and cheddar, and 15 lbs of Polish sausage this weekend. Cryoed the Jalapeño Saturday. I cold smoked the Polish yesterday and let it settle overnight and just put that into cryo. I love doing this stuff.

    OK, how long does it take you to eat that much sausage - or do you do it as a hobby? Looks pretty impressive.

    My wife and I definitely won't eat all of it. All my buddies love it when I make stuff like this and the bacon, meat sticks. etc. I enjoy making it. A lot. I just charge them cost for it. You can't get good sausage anymore. I do flavoured bacon. They don't sell that stuff in stores. Now I got friends that only buy my bacon.

    So how cold does your freezer go if you are cryoing your sausage?
    Are you using liquid nitrogen, or something colder?

    Lol just a standard chest freezer. 
    Why do you ask that?

    Cryo (short for cryogenics), normally refers to -150C and below.
    Looking at your pics again, I'm wondering if you meant you vacuum-packed your sausage.

    I know what cryogenics are.
    Yes because most of us have the ability to that at home. 

    You couldnt clue clue into that looking at the pics the first time?

    so, as in cryovac?

    edit.  I just want to say I'm glad this was cleared up before I went and sourced some liquid nitrogen because the forum said I had to have it.

    I will clear this up.

    I placed the sausages in a Food Saver bag and used the Food Saver machine to CRYOVAC the sausages in question. I then proceeded down the stairs to my chest freezer that is held at about -18C and placed them there for freezing.

    I am glad you didn't succumb to the peer pressure and source out some cryogenic materials. LOL.

    you know, I was thinking that could be some brutal shrinkage with liquid nitrogen, maybe no tuck needed

    Well, excuse the eff out of me for never having heard of the brand name CRYOVAC, for me, the term cryo always has meant extreme cold, sorry for my misunderstanding.

    And I never said anyone should go buy liquid nitrogen, I never applied peer pressure for people to do so, I asked what I thought was a legitimate question, but obviously that action gets mocked and harassed on this forum.

    sorry, my bac is a little low, I didn't mean to be mean.

    I really meant to mock the entire forum with the liquid nitrogen comment - the peer pressure here to buy stuff is an ongoing source of entertainment.  It's clear you weren't suggesting that.

    I was mocking Fred just a little with the sausage comment, but just a little.

    Cryovac

    noun

    a registered trademark for a process in which meat is sealed in plastic, the air removed by a vacuum pump; also the thermoplastic resin wrapping film which can be heat-shrunk onto foods

     

    Now we can say we all learned something today.

    Well, I see Geroge Orwell's 1984 is alive and well.  Not only is the government and the media creating doublespeak to twist the meanings of words, but corporate america is jumping in on the action as well.
