GRINDING INSTRUCTIONS

• Trim meat of all blood clots, cords, tendons, bones, etc. NEVER grind bones or other hard objects.
• For best results, be sure that all meat has been chilled to between 32 - 34^ (0- 1^ ) before grinding. DO NOT allow meat to sit out at room temperature longer than is absolutely necessary. Follow the Food Safety Guidelines as outlined.
• Cut meat into sizes small enough to fit into the Grinding. Approximately 1" (2.5 cm) cubes.
• As you feed chunks of meat into the Grinding, turn the Handle clockwise (when facing the Handle side of the Grinding). Be sure to have something to catch the meat as it comes out of the Grinding.
• If the Grinding should get stuck or become hard to turn, turn the Handle counter-clockwise to loosen the obstruction, then resume grinding. If this doesn't free the back-up, remove the Front Ring Nut, Plate, Knife and Auger to remove the obstruction.

STUFFING INSTRUCTIONS

• For the best stuffing results, two people are recommended for this operation.
• Fill the Grinding hopper with pre-ground, seasoned meat.
• Slide a sausage casing over the end of the Stuffing Funnel, leaving 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) of casing off the end of the Stuffing Funnel. Tie a knot in the end of the casing.
• While holding the casing on the Stuffing Funnel with one hand, rotate the Handle clockwise (when facing the Handle side of the Grinding) to move the meat through the Grinding and into the casing. Gently lay the filled casing on a plate as the casing fills.
• Do not fill the last 3-4" (7.6-10.2 cm) of the casing. When finished stuffing, twist and tie the end closed.

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food. They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It's crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160^ to 165^ ( 71^ to 74^ ), bacteria will not be destroyed and there's a good chance you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don't have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145^ (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165^ (74°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145^ (63°C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don't use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40^ and 140^ ( 4^ and 60^ ). Your refrigerator should be set to 40^ ( 4^ ) or below; your freezer should be 0^ (-18°C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90^ ( 32^ ) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won't chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.

SAUSAGE INFORMATION

MEAT SELECTION FOR SAUSAGE MAKING

Sausage making has evolved over many years and generations, and as a result there are countless types of sausage you can make using the basic ingredients of meat, fat and a few carefully blended spices. Following are a few simple guidelines that will help you make the best tasting sausage possible.

Any type of meat can be used for making sausage: pork, beef, bison, moose and caribou, even antelope make great sausage. It is important when preparing venison or other red game meats to trim all the fat from the meat, as red game tallow will turn rancid in as few as five days. Replace the fat with either pork or beef fat, depending on the type of product you are making, at a ratio of 1 pound (0.5 kg) of fat for every 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of game meat.

The fat content of your sausage will affect the taste, texture, cooking characteristics and shelf life of your product. Most commercially made sausage has a fat content of about 20% . Using less than 12% fat will result in a very dry tasting sausage, while using more than 20% may result in a sticky flavorless sausage that will be difficult to cook.

CURING

It is important to properly cure meats to preserve meat and poultry, and to destroy undesirable microorganisms on the meat surfaces that cause spoilage and foodborne illnesses. There are many steps that help in this process, including smoking, cooking, drying, chilling and the addition of cure ingredients. The oldest means of accomplishing this is by introducing salt into the meat. The resistance of bacteria to salt varies widely among different types of bacteria. The growth of some bacteria is inhibited by salt concentrations as low as 3% , e.g., Salmonella, whereas other types are able to survive in much higher salt concentrations, e.g., Staphylococcus. Fortunately, the growth of many undesirable organisms normally found in cured meat and poultry products is inhibited at low concentrations of salt.

Modern curing is based on Nitrates and is very scientific. Purchase Weston Pink Curing Salt (02-0000-W) and follow the included instructions to ensure that you are properly curing your homemade sausage.

CASING

Weston offers a complete variety of casings. The right choice depends on personal preference as well as the type of sausage you wish to make. For most sausages, your choices are natural or collagen. Don't let the names fool you; collagen casings are not a synthetic. They are made from beef skin and other tissues. Collagen casings are uniform in size and texture and require almost no preparation. "Natural" casings are the intestines of lamb, sheep, hogs or beef. They are less uniform in size and require preparation. There are also fibrous non-edible casings that are most commonly used for summer sausage and ring bologna

TYPES OF SAUSAGE

Most sausages fall into one of four categories: Fresh, Smoked, Cooked or Dried. All sausages, except dried, require refrigerated storage. There is also a sub-category of uncooked smoked sausages.

Among the fresh and uncooked smoked sausages, you will find such flavors as kielbasa or Polish sausage, Italian sausage, breakfast sausage and many others. Both fresh and uncooked smoked sausages require cooking before eating and also require refrigerated storage.

Smoked and cooked sausages include salami, bologna, the ever-popular hot dogs and many others. Proper smoking requires a smokehouse or smoker. Weston offers Outdoor Propane Smokers in a variety of sizes (41-0701-W, 41-0301-W, or 41-0401-W). Most smoked sausages are warmed before serving. Many people think that a smoked sausage will last much longer without spoilage, but this is not true. Smoked sausages should be treated the same as fresh sausage in terms of storage.

Dried sausages require the longest processing time, as they are air dried over a long period of time. Dry cured sausages include salami, chorizo, pepperoni, among others. The conditions under which the meat is dried are very exacting; temperature, time and humidity must all be carefully monitored for a safe and delicious product.

STORAGE

For the best flavors, we recommend vacuum sealing your fresh sausages, then storing them in the refrigerator (short term) or freezer (long term). Weston manufactures a variety of vacuum sealers. Ask the retailer from which you purchased this unit for their selection. Store dry cured products in paper or other breathable wrapping, unrefrigerated.
