The Secret techniques to making Amazing Hot Dogs at home

[@phillipcarroll6625]

Yes!! Back to sausages/charcuterie. I know you gotta make videos about other things, but this is what I'm here for. Thanks for another great/informative video!

[@gabrielaraujopereira8291]

for sure a video with the spicies, YES PLEASE!!

[@jim6682]

Your sausage making videos are my favorite. I've learned so much from you and you've helped me make some great sausages. Thank You !! Having some separate videos explaining binders and phosphates in detail would be very helpful.

[@_J.F_]

I've made emulsified sausages for many years and still get away with using a probably 15 or more years old Moulinex Ovatio 3 Duo domestic food processor. It only has a 700W motor but if I break my production up into batches of 750 grams it will make a perfect product for me every single time. It is of course a bit of extra work having to divide everything up into say 4 portions of 750 grams to make a total of 3 kilos, but I cannot currently justify buying a Robot Coupe even if I know it is probably the best there is on the market for home production, and even small scale commercial use. And yes, these emulsified sausages are a bit of extra work, and particularly if you make the smoked versions like e.g. the traditional Wiener Wurst, or the one you make in this video (PS. traditional Wiener Wurst it hot smoked and then poached) but they are my absolute favourites when it comes to cooking and eating them 😋

[@petebaldetti1]

Eric, What can I say I love everything about your work. You are amazing! I can’t wait for the next season

[@ridethespiral1219]

More sausage videos, YES!!

[@dsomlit]

Thank you so much Eric for teaching all the techniques of making sausages. I learn a lot from you.

[@thegiftj1532]

I undergone meat processing and your video help me alot.thank u for other technique.

[@squiretomasie7003]

You are the best instructor I have ever experienced. You have held my short attention span on every word!

[@2guysandacooler]

Wow, thank you!

[@tpcdelisle]

Just another great video Eric. As I've said, you are one of the best teachers on KZbin. I can't believe some of your creators bailed on Celebration Sausage season 5, but I can't wait for the season to begin. It's the best time of the year. Thanks again and I'm going to try theses dogs. Any seasoning recipe videos would be great. 😋😇👍

[@envt]

Would love to see a video about binders. Maybe some tests comparing them all.

[@rogerforsthoefel8307]

Can't afford a bowl cutter or high end food processor but I have found that an old Champion juicer does a great job albeit slower. Several vids of others doing it too. I used it to make braunschweiger and it did a nice job.

[@Flyy65]

Yes, please make a video on how to create flavors

[@bobwhisenhunt7085]

Fantastic video Eric.We just made pepperoni snack sticks using 25 mm cellulose casings they came out great. Your channel and the sausage maker casings are awesome. By the way we use carrot fiber for binder.

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

Both my grandma and my wife's grandma were Floridians and they always did a hanged souse. By that, I mean they didn't make an aspic. They used vinegar but they hanged the souse in a cloth casing, let is drip, and created a "sausage" loaf in that fashion. I'd love to see something like that...a very old pioneer to early settler recipe.

[@2guysandacooler]

That sounds amazing!!

[@onlytanner]

Just wanted to say thank you for these videos; I'm still a beginner when it comes to sausage making but have been able to get great results in the past few batches I've made thanks to your content. My goto has been your smoked Polish kielbasa recipe. One of these days I hope to be brave enough to attempt an emulsified sausage lol!

[@corn0717]

@Craig from the live chat... Find a great recipe for Pueblo Chili. We add smoked pulled pork instead of pork tenderloin or something else. It is absolutely amazing.

[@BernWag]

I use the TS Prof sharpening system for my knives and it's awesome! I never even thought of sharpening my food processor blades, wow, thanks for the tip!

[@coloradosunsa]

I appreciate the clarity of your explanations for the various options. It will help me make better what-if's the next time.

[@georgesevelle8778]

Another great video that breaks down the process into understandable steps. I have had some success with emulsified sausages with using the Breville Sous Chef. I did however buy a dedicated blade for processing sausage meats as the blade is hard to sharpen. The Breville will do about 2lbs of meat per batch without binding up but will only do about 8 lbs total before overheating if using it continuously. As an alternative I'm thinking of using my juicer attachment (#12 LEM Grinder) to see if that would work. There are some KZbin videos that demonstrate this technique so I'm going to give it a try for my next batch. Thank you for your great videos. Suggestion for alternative/replacement videos, how about Gyro meat that will hold together on the rotisserie. I have tried a couple of recipes and they seem to fall apart. The recipes I've used did not call for any binder or bread crumb, and when looking at the ingredients list on commercial loafs they seem to include some type of binder. Another thought I had was to Sous Vide the loaf to precook it to allow the moisture to release before putting it on the rotisserie. While most probably have only a horizontal rotisserie I happen to have a vertical rotisserie and have had the same issue of the meat not holding together and slumping down. You might be able to do this on your Brazilian rotisserie.

[@MatteHatt]

Since you were asking for suggestions. I'm a swede, living in Australia since the 1980's, and I'm desperate at times for a proper swedish hot dog (varm korv). If I knew how to make these at home, I'd spend the time and money on the equipment and ingredients to do so ... but I don't know how. Great video btw, I learned a lot from it. 👍🏼

[@lilpixie25]

That looks delicious! I don't think I'll be venturing into this one though

[@timvanoli3694]

What a great video Eric. I appreciate all of the explanations regarding the grinder, binders, and processors. Bravo !!! 🎉🎉

[@timchapin6482]

I actually purchased the Breville Sous Chef Pro 16 Cup Food Processor that you have suggested before, it is a MASSIVE processor, but it worked perfectly. I will say though that I had to do small batches and then combine everything at the end because it was starting to bind up. So far I’ve only made the Vienna Beef, they were “ok” but not great enough to share, mostly in part due to my struggles with lesser quality casing. Eager to try more though and can’t wait to see what new recipes will be featured in Season 5!!

[@richquarters8815]

[@stevennahed9494]

[@daviddennison7045]

Great timing, just getting into emulsified sausages

[@TonyRichards68]

Yumm! Thanks for all of the tips. I understand not liking this type of sausage, but my favorite is mortadella, and the quality around here is terrilble, so it's one that I must make myself. The other is Braunschweiger; store-bought is decent, but not spreadable like your recipe.

[@SausageKingofCanada]

I use a Vevor 7L chopper, which is a knock off of the Robot Coupe. It was far less spendy and so far, has been working very well for emulsified meat pastes! My hot dog batches, based on your recipes have been coming out fantastic! The only issue I have with the chopper is that it can draw 16amps, which can trip a lot of breakers, so I plug into a 20amp circuit. Can't wait for Season 5!

[@jimbrock8310]

Every now and then my wife will have me make a Filipino sausage. I am not home right now so I can't give you the recipe but they are really good.

Hi Eric! Would love a video on spices! Also, in that video if you can also explain how you can experiment with them without making a large batch.

[@inagoodplace1796]

Growing up in New Jersey, going to Peterson Hot Dog stand in Union, NJ was a hi light of the week. The family eventually sold it and now it is Galloping Hill Inn. The hot dogs had an unearthly crunch and flavor. I have NEVER found a hotdog similar in taste or crunch. The hotdogs are not the same at Galloping Hill Inn, a little different, but still great. If there is any way to get a recipe to the old way, it would be amazing! Thanks for all you do.

[@jasonbaker7598]

Eric, your videos are amazing. I ended up getting the 25lb stuffer from the sausage maker, that you did a review on during last celebrate sausage. WOW, I can't believe how much it makes a difference in quality of sausages. I have watched many of your videos and some from other people as well. It would be very helpful if you made a video on the difference of binders and moisture retention, using multiple types in the same recipe, and just going more in depth to the why and how they work. Are some things specifically binders that happen to retain moisture and vice versa or all they are really the same thing with different levels of these characteristics? I haven't seen anyone else make a video explaining this. I like to understand why things work so I can have a better understanding when I am playing mad scientist with the brats, salami, and sausage recipes. Thanks for the amazing content. I am super excited to see what you have for us in season 5!!!!

[@KnowPorcelain1]

thanks eric, in Sausage season 5 I would like to see traditional sausages from regions not usually common, and would really like to see a recipe for an emulsified duck sausage, something other than Peking or Hoisin.

There are many instant read thermometers. But thermoworks is the only one I’ve ever seen survive 10 minutes at the bottom of a deep fryer.

[@colonelfustercluck486]

did it still work? or did you batter it? (I like Thermoworks too, they have a good selection of devices)

[@hammertiming8423]

This indeed is how it's done.. I waited to see if you're gonna use phosphate 😅. What they use to make these is that horizontal ball cutter, It is a challenge in house conditions tho. I tried doing emulsified sausages before and it's allot of a hassle for me with the tools I have.

I have had success with a Ninja food processor for small batches.

[@stevieg4201]

I have a question, my Ninja says it’s 1500 watts, do you think I would be safe to make an emulsified sausage/hot dog with it, I’ve sharpened my blades well, been dying to make hotdogs, but am afraid to burn it up. Thanks Eric.

[@2guysandacooler]

Is it a blender or a food processor?

[@stevieg4201]

@@2guysandacooler it’s a food processor

[@2guysandacooler]

I hesitate to answer this because I don't want you to break your food processor but if the motor is 1500 watts it should be strong enough to handle emulsified meats. If you do make it I would 100% pregrind the meat several times and perhaps instead of adding ice like I show I would add ice cold water to soften the batter a bit while chopping.

Dude is like, "When sharpening your blades see if it can slice your thumb off, if not, it's probably not sharp enough."

[@ohmslawone5939]

if you use a buffalo chopper, do you still need to go thru the grinding process?

[@adamchurvis1]

Are you planning on actually USING a buffalo chopper? I ask because they are wicked expensive to purchase and maintain over time, even the tiniest viable one with a measly 1 HP motor requires 220V power, and despite the limited size of its 18" bowl the entirety of the 140-pound machine will require either a permanent place in your kitchen (or a large heavy-duty rolling cart) or a hefty Ukrainian beet farmer to move it between your garage and your kitchen as needed. For giggles I just now checked, and the Hobart with an 18" bowl is about $14K including shipping. And you can forget about those cheap-ass Chinese-manufacture wannabes on Amazon for under $3K if you want to still be using it problem-free after a decade.

[@gyanez01]

I need some help/advice/direction - when I make uncured sausage they come out pretty darn good. When I do cured sausage they always seem to come out with a strange flavor/aroma. Not spoiled meat - I follow the 34F rule I learned on this channel. It's just cured sausage - I followed your recipe for Hot Links and hot dogs to the gram and can't figure it out. Curious if anyone had had this happen or maybe knows what I'm doing wrong.

[@calvinlawrence1250]

So many animals(beef,pork & sheep) to make 1 product. Maybe a win in taste... But how about covering a sausage that only uses the slaughter /purchase (?) of only one animal (beef, pork, chicken, goat, sheep, game fowl, wild meats)? How about using one animal species from meat to the fat to the intestine casings? Wouldn't that excite the taste buds?

[@davejohnson4589]

When you go to your recipe it lists the amount of meat and other ingredients and how much to use. There is a box that says how much do you want to make so if it says for the meat 2250 in grams and I change it 4000 all the other ingredients will change.
