Thread: Sausage and Smoke Cooking

While this might fit in with the 'What do you have in the mail' thread, I thought I'd post it here.

I"m wanting to try making some luncheon meats including bologna and my little food processor isn't up to the task of emulsifying the finely ground meat. I found an older Robot Coupe Rc2800 Commercial Professional Food Processor at FleaBay for a reasonable price so I bought it.

It landed last Friday at my buddy Ski's place (saves me about 10% in taxes) and I picked it up yesterday when I went down to shoot pool (I actually held my own/I usually get my ass handed to me) anyway once I got it home I carefully unpacked it and I found that I'd gotten the 'NOID' as it's broken up pretty good!

The top is broken;



The on/pulse switch is broken off;



One of the tabs that holds the lid on the bowl is broken off;



If I pick it up and turn it around I can hear plastic and metal parts tumbling around. I let the seller know and sent pics including several of the box which doesn't look like it was abused. I told the seller that it was a total loss and I'd like a full refund. So far no word from the seller

I found a different unit that was more money but it had more attachments and purchased it. I then contacted this seller telling them of the cluster F*** with the first one and I have been reassured that this unit will be very carefully packed as they don't want to see the machine damaged as it's a good running unit.

I do hope that the first seller doesn't give me the run around as some have in the past. It's my understanding that the seller has three business days to resolve any issues. I don't count yesterday but today is day ONE.

Ebay is not quite as risky as it used to be.

Now you can report them and get help from ebay, you can also start a dispute with PayPal if you used them.

I hope you get your money back.

Easter dinner week continues but is nearing its end.

I did not feel well this morning so I used a sick day to take the day off.

My wife made some Ham stew and biscuits!

As she opened the oven door it fell open and jammed, The biscuits weren't done.....

I stayed home hoping not to have to fix other peoples problems!

After 1/2 hour of thinking and hammering I got it closed.

It is not fixed but my solution is to use a vinegar jug to keep it from opening to far for the time being.

This stove is from the 1940"s so I am sure parts are not available but I want to keep it going.

For now the door closes and I am going to have a late lunch!

Tim's very resourceful and I'm sure he'll be able to save it.

Over 20 years ago when I was working to bring my great grandfather's homestead house back to livable I'd gotten it cleaned out to where I could spend nights but didn't have a stove so I went looking and found a '70's stove with a warming oven for $15 and when I went to buy it I asked the lady why she was selling it as it was in like new shape (hell the oven was showroom clean) and she said that she and her husband had recently purchased the home and she wanted the kitchen appliances to be period correct for when the home was built and she invited me in to see her 'NEW' Kitchen.

I'll be go to hell but even the sink was an old porcelain '40's. The stove and the two refrigerators looked brand new. She said that all of the appliances and the sink had been professionally refurbished------must me nice to have that kind of money.

Tim is wiley that stove will working soon.

I smoked my last cheese until fall, it is getting too hot to smoke cheese. I switched to my external smoke generator it runs cooler than having the smoke tube burning in the smoker. The black smoker soaks up the sun it hits a hundred degrees just setting in the sun. I started this batch before sun up to keep things cool.

We found a copy of a 1948 or so cook book by this manufacturer and decided to copy the recipe by the letter.



I tried for medium and got well done.

Good point!

But then again to what temp did they cook it to then?

Without good refrigeration etc. it is better to overcook.
