Pork sausages and Montreal smoked meat

Canugghead · July 2014

Made another 10-lb batch of Anglo-Indian pork sausages on Thursday (recipe posted a while ago).

Also started curing a 12-lb brisket for Montreal smoked meat today, thanks to @pantsypants for lots of hand holding, including sourcing the protein!

Don't have an XXL ziplock bag, so I mummified it with multiple overlapping layers of cling wrap, hope it doesn't leak too badly!

The sausage looks terrific! Lovely pics. Did you hand stuff all of those?

Mr Holloway @pantsypants

Thanks. I used my old Moulinex grinder with sausage attachment, kind of tedious having to shove meat repeatedly into the little feed tube. Toying with the idea of getting a decent sausage stuffer but it may be a hard sell since I'll probably use it max five times a year. Also, I just ordered a chamber sealer on back order.

Shane, I know LS hooked you up with a Pomodori around $300, it grinds and stuffs, right? Do they make any that stuffs only? I've been looking at this from Princess Auto, couple of guys at Toronto fest use one (not sure if it's same model) and seem quite happy with it, what do you think?

Sounds like you are in the market for a stuffer only. But just in case, I wanted to pass along that I have used this combo unit from Cabellas. Stuffing is really easy with this unit. Especially with good quality casings.

@kthacher Thanks. It has same design as my Moulinex HV6 but with more hp 350 watts vs. 250. Problem with mine is the push stick is significantly smaller than the hopper tube, pushing semi frozen meat cubes for grinding is fine, but sausage mix constantly creeps up around the stick when pushed, it worries me that the mix is over handled.

Shane, are you sure it was the 11-lb one that was on sale for under $100, and not the 5-lb one?
