Used to be a chemist and engineer in the petrochemical industry. Went and trained and became an executive chef. I love to make sausage and cured meats, but am self taught and enjoying all the info and wanting to ramp up this part of my business.
Hi all. Had a seafood buffet Tuesday and did an ice carving as the center piece. Had fresh smoked salmon, crab legs, shrimp, fried catfish and charbroiled oyster. This gave me the chance to do an ice sculpture which I haven’t done in a few years. A feast for those who like seafood. 
Just want to offer up both my best wishes and prayers as so many of us are entering a new school year. May our students, teachers, administrators, bus drivers, parents and support staff have a save re-entry into this new school year. Give a shout as to just what specific needs and prayers we have as a Meatgistics community. My wife is a principal and is doing virtual until labor day, then 1/2 of the students will return for in person class.
I hate wedding cakes, but you take whatever work you can get these days. Groom is an electrician so wanted a specialized
cake bride just wanted WOW factor.
WIfe said that our freezer was filling up with too much meats and sausages. My solution, I got a three door commercial freezer. Should be good for a few more years now.
Wishing all the Meatgistics family a happy and safe 4th of July.
And to all of the men and women who are part of the Meatgistics family who have served our country, I want to thank you for your service. Your efforts help to protect what our founding fathers built.
can’t cure meat, smoke, grill, or stuff sausage without the required amount of alcohol !
As both a chemist, engineer and chef, I only use mineral oil or silicon grease for any food application. All natural oils break down and, depending on the application, can leave an off taste to the food in contact. Both are inexpensive and just good to keep it on hand.
Sausage stuffers anr not just for sausage anymore. I regularly use mine for Manicotti and Cannoli. Made Cannoli this morning for 40 People
TexLaw here’s the pictures of the eggs I put up yesterday, only thing I changed is I did add a bit of beet juice, wife thought the color was pretty.
Austin Jonathon A large part of my career I was in quality control and product improvement and development. The quality giants always stated that exceeding customer requirements was a wast of time, efforts and money. I always disagreed with that perspective. In our world today, understating and over providing is so welcomed. I know that Walton’s is more than just the two of you, it involves a team. The management is doing something right. While the community is important here, the foundation is what maintains a consistent level of product and service. Wouldn’t it be amazing that we all, as a society, treat others the way Walton’s treats their customers. A sincerer thank you to you two, the Walton’s team, and all in the community that makes this such a special place.
Jonathon Did you ever find that info for time temperature and humidity schedule for snack sticks?
Camardelle Several great people from the Great State of Texas. I’m in Sealy. I have found everyone in this group so helpful and there really is no dumb questions God knows I ask a lot of questions. Welcome aboard. And don’t be fooled - Go Blue Team.
Jonathon Always worth checking. Thanks. Is there anything in the 32 - 35 mm range?
lkrfletcher I’ll keep you and yours in prayer for safety and a quick containment of this fire.
zbigjeff Oh my, I guess I’ll have to try that now. Such a burden. LOL
lkrfletcher How close is this to you? Any personal threat to you or any of you family?
calldoctoday So much for truth in advertising! Sad thing is that a company in Louisiana can buy from a foreign country and truthfully say that it is coming from Louisiana. Got to be careful now days with wording.
