Thread: Another Sausage guide

@Joe_90 are you a member of the salami godfathers?

Thanks @Joe_90

Very helpful. One thing I need is a proper sausage stuffer. Just used the sausage attachment on my grinder and the nosel isn't long enough, only get enough casing for 8 max

Making salami isn't something I've tried yet.

That would make things really tricky. Good on you for giving it a go! You'll only get better with practice.

The only sausages I can think of off hand that uses breadcrumbs are Cumberland sausages there a pork based one. Majority use flour or for gluten free use rice flour this is your binder so when you cut them open they dont just spew out of the skin. Your average sausage is 65-70 vl vl being visual lean. So 65-70% meat and 30-35% fat so you can lean them up to about 80-85vl which is almost mince that is 90-95 vl trim. To make them less dense run them through on a 4.5mm plate then a 12mm plate creating a chunkier cut of meat. Hope this helps if anyone wants to learn I'm happy to help

Just to clarify - You are saying mince your meat using the fine plate then re mince it again using a larger plate?

Yep mince your meat and fat together on the small plate then change to the big hole plate and put mixed meat and meal through this helps mix it better. To get the consistency like the hellers ones you need a bowl chopper
