  • Barbecue 101 Part 4
    Barbecue 101 Part IV-B: Seasoning Methods If you do it right, you don’t need sauce By Dan Gill, Ethno-Gastronomist Barbecue and smoked meats are normally seasoned before they go on the smoker. Most folks use brines and dry-rubs for flavor development, but the practice actually evolved for food-safety reasons and is a holdover from curing techniques. Making traditional barbecue and smoked foods involves keeping meat, poultry or fish in the “danger zone” and in a low-oxygen environment for many hours; ideal conditions for the growth of unfriendly microbes. Dry rubs and brines contain salt, sugar and spices that can retard microbial growth. Cold smoking for prolonged periods at temperatures below 100°F can actually foster growth of the dread and deadly C. botulinum bacterium; therefore, “curing salts” containing nitrates and nitrites are often added to brines and dry-rubs for cold smoked (uncooked) sausages, fish, and cured meats but are neither needed nor recommended for barbecue or smoke cooking. Brines were initially used to “pickle” and preserve meats, fish and vegetables. Salt was added to water until it would float a potato or fresh egg, and then the meat was soaked until it absorbed sufficient salt to preserve it. Fresh eggs were specified because stored eggs, such as those available commercially, have larger air pockets and float at lower salinities. Saturated brines were also used to “strike down” fish and meat before they were packed in dry salt to keep. We now use much weaker brines to flavor meats, fish and poultry and to prepare them for slow cooking.

  • Preserving Summer Sausage and Meats
    SP 50-735 Revised March 2020 Oregon State University Extension Service Preserving Meats Summer Sausage & Deli Style Meats Summer sausage can be successfully made at home. Recipes can be adapted to make them leaner than their commercial counterparts. Special seasonings can also be added. If you plan to grind your own meat, a meat grinder is recommended. Food processors can be used, but have limited versatility since they will only produce a fine grind. Some grinders come with casing attachments. The best casings are from the small intestine of hogs or sheep. Synthetic casings made from collagen or cellulose are also available. They can usually be purchased from butcher shops that make sausage. Sausage can also be shaped and cooked without a casing. Ingredients Meat: Sausages will be moister and hold together better if there is some fat in the meat. Regular grind beef, lamb, pork, and chicken work well. Venison and turkey might need a little pork or beef fat added. Mixing leaner meats with ground pork will make a leaner product. The standard recipe usually uses 4 pounds of ground venison or turkey to 1 pound of ground pork. Keep the meat as cold as possible during the entire sausage making process. Nonfat dry milk: You can add ¼-½ cup of nonfat dry milk per pound of meat to help hold leaner sausage together. Nitrates and Nitrites: Sodium and potassium nitrite and nitrate (saltpeter) have been added to cured meats for centuries. These additives have several purposes. They preserve the red color of meat; they help to give the distinctive cured flavor; and they inhibit the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that cause botulism food poisoning.

  • Download the Day Two SOP Cooking Techniques
    WELCOME Cooking 101 – Baking Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked.Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their center. As heat travels through, it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer center. Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant by using both methods simultaneously, or one after the other. Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit. Cooking 101 – Barbecue Barbecuing techniques include smoking, roasting or baking, braising and grilling. The original technique is cooking using smoke at low temperatures and long cooking times (several hours). Baking uses an oven to convection cook with moderate temperatures for an average cooking time of about an hour. Braising combines direct, dry heat charbroiling on a ribbed surface with a broth-filled pot for moist heat. Grilling is done over direct, dry heat, usually over a hot fire for a few minutes. Cooking 101 – Boiling Boiling is the method of cooking food in boiling water or other water-based liquids such as stock or milk.Simmering is gentle boiling,while in poaching the cooking liquid moves but scarcely bubbles. Cooking 101 – Braising A combination-cooking method that uses both wet and dry heats: typically, the food is first seared at a high temperature, then finished in a covered pot at a lower temperature while sitting in some (variable) amount of liquid (which may also add flavor).

  • Press Release
    Press Release May 2018 For champions of the kitchen and the barbecue: the HEKTOR butcher’s knife from the Red Spirit series Friedr. Dick, the traditional knife manufacturer from Deizisau, is adding another superb and impressive knife to the Red Spirit series: the HEKTOR butcher's knife. Anyone who loves meat will also love HEKTOR. The knife is ideal for cutting larger pieces of meat, fish, and also perfect as a “brisket knife” for the BBQ area. The long curved blade is perfect especially when cutting brisket – namely, beef brisket cooked in hot smoke – because it can achieve a long drawn cut. You can also cut large pieces easily with one fluid stroke of the knife. The Kullenschliff design reduces the amount of food that sticks to the blade. The HEKTOR knife is not only attractive due to its excellent functionality but also because of its clean and impressive construction. The splendid 26 cm long curved blade and its uncompromising sharpness make HEKTOR an indispensable kitchen and barbecue tool. Friedr. Dick cooking and barbecue enthusiasts from all over the world were involved in the naming process through social networking sites. The name “HEKTOR” was finally chosen from over 500 different name suggestions – inspired by the warrior Hector who is well-known from Greek mythology. Hector was a noble and great military leader and therefore one of the strongest warriors in the battle of Troy. Contact: Friedr. Dick GmbH & Co.

  • Jimmy Hagood
    JIMMY HAGOOD For Jimmy Hagood, Food for the Southern Soul™ isn’t just the name of his specialty food and catering business; it is his way of life. Following his passion, Hagood has made an indelible mark on the lowcountry food scene. As a barbecue impresario and an advocate of coastal South Carolina’s unique culinary culture, he has brought national visibility to the art of barbecue cooking, and further elevated high-quality Southern pantry items. Slow cooking began as a hobby for Hagood. An insurance advisor, he spent weekends basting pork shoulders infused with his special marinades and taste testing recipes. In March of 2002, Hagood took his food focus full-time. He traded his briefcase for a 27ft long barbecue rig to launch his catering, specialty foods, and restaurant businesses. Hagood’s natural talents were evident from the start – he simultaneously managed a full-scale catering and barbecue business, bottled his award-winning sauces and dry rubs and earned his pit master stripes in top national competitions. By 2004, Hagood’s BlackJack Barbecue Mustard Sauce had captured the taste buds of judges with a 5th place finish at the Memphis in May World BBQ Championship, along with 3 top five finishes in the pork shoulder category. Further investing in the heritage of lowcountry fare, in 2005, Hagood moved to acquire and manufacture some of the south’s finest food brands. Many local companies were facing uncertain futures with no heirs to continue the families’ traditions. Hagood saw an opportunity to keep the authentic products on shelves and expand their reach beyond local farmer’s markets and roadside stands.

There is no single “American” flavor in the region from Canada to Mexico, Pacific to Atlantic. However, each region has traditional dishes, flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods. Each is worthy of attention.
