Anyone in NW WA here that wants to either go in on one to share or let me buy into yours if relatively local?

How do you mix with the Kitchen Aid? Maybe 20-30 lbs isn't a "small batch"?
It's not a small batch. :chuckle:

Do you add your spices to the meat after the first grind in these mixers or are you mixing chunks with the spices before grinding.
I have always trimmed the meat to strips or large cubes mixed whatever spice mix i'm using and refrigerate a few hrs or overnight then grind, usually twice. Seems to be mixed pretty good at that point. Am I missing something here?
Trying to see the benefit of a mixer. That $89 looks pretty good if I need one I have this coupon burning a hole in my pocket :chuckle:

I was thinking of using my $20 coupon as well, with a new scope cover to round out the $100. :tup:

No expert in any since of the word. :twocents:
I grind once then add spices mix well sometimes grind twice sometimes not. Though I always let it sit in the frig over night. ;)

Does anyone have a good cradle to grave recipe for summer sausage?

:yeah:
What meats do you use? I have a bunch of duck and elk - will that work? Also do you have to put it in the casing?
Post by: 206 on December 16, 2015, 09:13:58 AM
I got into sausage making a little over a year ago. The first time making summer sausage, I said to myself "You don't need a stuffer for summer sausage. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG".
The summer sausage casings are so large and hold so much, a creative person could get them filled without a stuffer. I would start by cutting off the one end that is already tied, and then retie both ends when the air is pushed out.

If small batches is all you'll ever do a kitchen aid works great, plus you can get meat grinder, and stuffer. That's what use when doing it at home. :tup:
Ya I did a "small batch" with the wife's Kitchen Crapp. It Crapped out and I never here the end of it. Not recommended..........

You should remind your wife every time she rags about it that she SHOULD have bought you a grinder for Christmas.
That's funny! The issue was resolved years ago with a good grinder and stuff. For whatever reason it still comes up????? :dunno:

Just finished up 15 or so lbs of Hi Mountain jalapeno summer sausage. Pretty good I was expecting more jalapeno flavor. I see a meat mixer in my near future or frost bite. I'd rather have the meat mixer :chuckle:.
i run 10 to 12 fresh jalapeno peppers through the grinder per 15 lbs of meat and mix in with my jalapeno cheese sausage
adds nice spicy fresh flavor
