Title: Poll: Pork or Beef fat for Grind?
Post by: HAGEMANIAC on October 20, 2022, 02:06:19 PM: Last time I used beef suet and while the flavor was decent, it was a nightmare through the grinder (LEM Big Bite .5hp, everything was very cold and lubed). Just considering some different options this time. Thanks!

This! ^

Pork fat will go rancid faster than other options.

Post by: NRA4LIFE on October 20, 2022, 02:49:49 PM: No pork in burger, beef only. I like to eat my burgers on the medium rare part of the spectrum. I don't grind suet either. I just buy the cheap, fatty burger and mix a bit with the ground venison.

Post by: Farmer72 on October 20, 2022, 02:56:41 PM: We use beef fat only for burger. My old man has a butcher save trimmings from T-bones and rib roast.

We have used pork or beef and sometimes a mix of both for peperoni stick and summer sausage.

We use pork fat only for breakfast sausage.

I do about 1/3 of my burger like this also. For cooking stuff that needs no fat.

Post by: chukar58 on October 20, 2022, 05:35:44 PM: Just a little Beef fat for the burger grind and pork butt or shoulder for breakfast sausage. For me the breakfast sausage needs to be consumed within a six months.

Post by: Fidelk on October 20, 2022, 05:53:29 PM: I like ground deer/elk with no fat.......and can always thaw the packages and then add fat, sausage or other meat prior to cooking. Works for me.

Post by: slavenoid on October 20, 2022, 07:36:51 PM: For perceived health benefits I go with grass fed beef fat anytime I add fat. If for some reason I had to please the masses I would use pork fat though.

Post by: Caseknife on October 20, 2022, 08:44:55 PM: Nothing added at all, just straight up game meat. Little olive oil in the pan prior to cooking. An egg and seasoning in the burger if making patties for the grill.

Post by: Southpole on October 20, 2022, 08:49:16 PM: Bear/deer mix. Bear is so rich in oil it really enhances the deer. Highly recommend for anyone who want’s 100% wild game.
