Did you add cure#1 ? this is what makes the nice pink colour.
I grind, add spices and cure mix well, regrind chill in the freezer for 30 min, them emulsify in a food processor, stuff. link then poach total time maybe 2-3 hrs. They come out nice and pink.

i want to try a hot dog recipe but dont have phophate or supaphos can i sub with some thing or leave it out?

[johnfb]

I would say yes, although it may not be as juicy without them. Possibly you could increase the amount of milk powder?

[Big Guy]

It will work but it won't have the correct texture. The phosphate binder gives a moister and smoother texture. IMHO

Hi All

New to this forum but not to smoking. I like this hot dog recipe but where can I get the phospate?

Thanks

I get mine from Butcher Packer in Detroit . As you didn't say in your profile where you are from its tought to reccomend a supplier.

You really do not have to add all this phospahte nonsence. They will make perfectly well without. Just be sure to hot smoke them and chill down. I make these all the time with no added rubbish, chemicals preservs etc. And i sell to the public. don't get bogged down learn the basics first.

Rather than just criticise - how about actually posting your recipe for once? You're quick enough to tell us about how good you are, but the proof of the pudding...

I concur

I take on board what you are saying, Greyham, but since Big guy posted the recipe I feel it is the one to follow, albeit with my silly omission.
If you post your blend I will make it and do the Pepsi challange on both and let you know the results on one with and one without.
I am making some this week so I can ket you know soon as possible.

Hey my recipe is just how I make hot dogs, I think they are great. There are many ways to skin a cat. I know my recipe works but there is room for change due to personal tastes and customs. Lets see some one elses spin on the hot dog.

...and a superb hot dog it is too.
