Postictal Pit Beef
Focker
Posts: 960
Strolling through Schnucks in the condiment isle on a horseradish hunt. A guy about my age next bay over and just in the peripheral, slides down leaned against the shelves, having a tonic clonic seizure. Help guide him to the floor and turn him on his side. Yell to the employee to call 911. Seizure lasted 2 minutes. By this time, about every employee is swarmed around us. Tactfully instruct everyone to step back. Guy is groggy, a little confused, but stable. Quick report a short time later to the paramedic and as I walk through the group of associates back to my cart, "Can I please be directed to the horseradish?" Found out I was in the wrong aisle and it is refrigerated. lol
Big thanks to Griffin, Eggcelsior and others who replied to the recent pit beef threads. Love Raichlen, but cringe whenever I see paprika in a rub. Used a beef rub I made some time back for a chuck roast cook. Decided to go with Eggcelsior's 1C horseradish recommendation. For a QC touch omitted the dry mustard, added 1T of Boetje's stone ground mustard for some extra kick. Bottom round was on sale for $2.99/lb. Studded with some garlic.
Egged raised direct starting out at 260, climbing up to 320 until 113. Then went wide open with the egg at the end. Rye, white onions, tiger sauce.....so good.
Finally finessed the Hobart and got her purring like a kitten, no guard rub. Washers didn't work, so I had to resort to the old hammer, punch, and bench vise. Sharpening guy removed the nicks and created a nice new edge. Had to take it a step further manually sharpening with the 3K, 5K, and 10K Chosera wetstones....scary sharp. Took about an hour. Pulled the MSDS for Hobart Slicer Oil and found it's compositon to be mineral oil. Similar to the "butcher block oil" marketing. Glides almost effortlessly with the touch of a finger.
In all seriousness, seizures appear frightening. Here are a few basic tips to help if you witness one in public. It helped me today.
1. Stay calm.
2. Remove person from any potential harm, place on their side and maintain airway.
3. Get help, have someone call 911.
4. Monitor breathing, circulation. Do not put anything in the mouth. Ride the seizure out, monitor.
5. Reorient as seizure subsides and person regains consciousness.

Had a young lady on our unit a couple of weeks ago seize for two hours straight.....a stress induced pseudoseizure. Didn't know stress could cause one, let alone 2 hours.
So many flavors with the pit beef. Hickory smoke, garlic, horseradish, onion, rye. A cheap cut(bottom round) to boot, when caught on sale.

Have yet to travel down this road, but a slicer will make things much easier in regards to the craft of charcuterie. Doubt you need additional encouragement. :D

This might be a dumb question, but you guys with a slicer get a lot of use out of it?

@MrCookingNurse,
There are no dumb questions.
It is a 1970s Hobart #512 slicer pulled out of a school cafeteria. Pit Beef was the first official run after cleaning and fixing it up. I will try to plan multiple items to slice when put in use. Last night I also sliced "premium" pepperoni logs for pizzas. Took about 10-15 min to clean. Can't wait to make jerky.
It's a nice to have kitchen appliance, not need to have.

These old slicers pop up on craigslist from time-to-time. Parts are available and they are easy to maintain. Like a chainsaw, it is a humbling experience running it.

0 • Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeHunger and desire to egg could increase stress beyond manageable levels to induce a pseudoseizure. :)) (joking)
