    Hoping my query gets some traction in this thread

     

    I have some Chorizo Casero by Espuna (dry cured) which I bought two years ago from Spain. It was manufactured in USA. There were originally 5 little sausages; I used 2 and vacuum sealed the rest. They've been sitting on a shelf in the fridge.

     

    Wikipedia says "In Europe, chorizo is a fermented, cured, smoked meat, which may be sliced and eaten without cooking, or added as an ingredient to add flavor".

     

    Can these sausages be used?

     

     

     

    Chorizo and other sausages have been used for years as a preserve, with a lot of salt inside. They were hung up and consumed when they wanted, but as time went by they dried up, sweated the water and became harder. But it was still edible, the drier the more flavour, and they were typically used for beans and stews. Open in half, see how they look and smell, you should not have any problems.

    I'll dffer on the "good day" poart at 4am but he is cute with a "friendly look". You mentioned filling your molded pieces with other treats. So these are hollow and then do you open from bottom to insert and somehow close off the entry hole or?

     

    I have always heard that God helps those who get up early... and besides, the sun does not rise earlier because of getting up early.

     

    Yes, most of the figurines are hollow and the mould has an opening button, to fill and empty the chocolate, like making bombons. First I make the lids of the figurines in a plastic sheet. I press the base of the empty mold into the chocolate sheet, scoring the base and solidifying it. And when I make the figure, it is when I fill and close the base with melted chocolate and the choco lid.

    I forget what state it was, but i watched a episode of MVF where they have a steamed burger stuffed with cheddar cheese called a juicy lucy. It looked pretty good for a steamed burger.

     

    Ted's Steamed Cheeseburgers in Connecticut, season 2, episode 20. juicy lucy is in Minneapolis.

  4. I have worked for restaurants and supermarkets, and they throw away food in abundance. In the factories I see how tons of food go to the trash, someone "recycle" the defective packages, others throw it all away, it is cheaper.

     

    I try not to waste anything, maybe it is because of how I grew up... I like to use the oil from tuna cans to make mayonnaise, some say it is dirty, but I love the taste.

  5. The only thing that seems better to me is because it does not burn the meat and it cooks at a lower temperature. Ted also steams the cheese to put on top of the burger.

  6. I know about steamed cheeseburgers from the man vs. food program, Ted's Steamed Cheeseburgers in Connecticut. They are just different cooking methods... superior of what?
