Sausage Making
Curing and
Smoking
a "Safety topic" be added. This would allow all forum members, though especially the newcomers to learn of the dangers of each piece of equipment prior to loosing a digit, etc.
EXAMPLE FROM FORUM
Jonty advised thaton the isue of safe sausage making - porkert grinders and fingers do not make a very good combination - I managed to spend christmas with one heavily bandaged finger!!
Parson Snows wroteThis is true for any equipment, especially motorised equipment. Typically when using a mincer/grinder a pusher/stuffer, normally made of pvc/plastic construction should be used exactly for that purpose. Avoid making "finger sausages". On the same theme it is better to work with sharp knives than dull/blunt ones. Statistics show that more accidents happen with blunt equipment.
kind regards
