UPDATE 2024: Butcher Wizard Knife Collection is now available. We have a 10” breaking knife and a 6” boning knife.
Check it out at butcherwizardshop.com
This is the same style of the knife I used in this video. Over the past 6 months, I have worked hard to make my own collection of knives that everyone who takes on these big butchery projects must have in order to be successful.

Wife and I are doing Keto / carnivore and your advice on the whole pork loin was fantastic, thanks a lot! I don’t have a Costco nearby so we go to Sam’s club and I found the same thing there. $18 for a gigantic loin. I don’t have a grinder so will do something else with that part. We had the chops and also our own version of guisado (it’s guisado, masculine not guisada 😉). I can’t believe I never saw how cheap it was compared to other cuts. Now in need the equivalent in beef 🥩 meat.

@barbarianatgate2000 7 ай бұрын

One of the best tips about grinding meat is to never cut it into cubes. Always cut into strips so that it pulls the batch through the worm screw. It will keep your grind from binding.

@stephenlonon4605 6 ай бұрын

What dimensions are you cutting the strips to?

@barbarianatgate2000 6 ай бұрын

@stephenlonon4605 3-4 inches long and 1/2-3/4 inch thick. Stagger the feed and it keeps everything moving nicely.

@MJ-pw9vg 6 ай бұрын

And by stagger the feed you mean? Sorry if it’s a stupid question….

@barbarianatgate2000 6 ай бұрын

@MJ-pw9vg Not a stupid question at all. If you're feeding two or three pieces in, just make sure the ends are staggered an inch to an inch and a half apart. That keeps a constant feed going where the first ones tend to pull the rest through. Try to keep them fed so there's constantly something in the hopper rather than letting it run dry. Also, make sure the meat is cold. If it warms up, it gets stringy and doesn't always feed well. Easiest way is keep it in the fridge until just before you start. Then place it in a metal bowl, and put THAT bowl in a larger bowl or pan filled with ice water. Even if you have to work it in batches, this is going to give you a better result. Don't worry about asking questions. Always better to check than to waste a batch of meat if you can help it.

@PaperScarecrow 6 ай бұрын

Getting all the meat separated and the scraps turned into stock and/or fried turkey skin "bacon" is going to give you so many options for cooking it's crazy. For cheap and easy pairings I always recommend a turkey rice (or pasta) bake for prep, since it just uses some spices, rice, the stock and a few relatively cheap veggies; plus you can portion it out in tupperware and freeze for quite a while (the same applies to turkey biscuit "pot pies" if you have some ramekins or oven save bowls laying around). Obviously chili is always a winner, but if you have either a bottle of liquid smoke, or some way to smoke the dark meat, give a split-pea & lentil soup a shot (follow the ham recipes online, but sub in turkey), it's crazy cheap considering the nutritional value you get from it. If you have any meat left over nearing the ends of it's fridge life, you can always marinade and dehydrate to make jerky, it'll then keep for quite a while longer and helps with snack cravings.

Another great taco idea. When I cook a beef roast I always make an extra one. And freeze what doesn't get eaten. Then later on when I am too busy to cook from scratch I can pull out some of the cooked roast from the freezer and heat it up in a pan with some onions and taco seasoning for street tacos...or bbq sauce and onions for bbq beef sandwiches or pizza.

Re: adding bacon to sausage - I have done this before when making homemade sausage using fat from my own homemade bacon and all I can say is be careful about how much you put in. It can give your sausage a serious “hammy” flavor if you put too much bacon in. If using a recipe that calls for X amount of fat I would recommend 1/2 X (half X) if using bacon fat.

I've done this for a long time but never tried the braising, thanks for the recipe! One can also sous vide the pork chops and sear them on the stove with butter and thyme, it takes the guesswork out of making sure it is the right temperature. The pork chops I cut 2 inches thick for a mini roast and leave the fat on, which makes nice crispy fat on the top when you take it out of the oven. Yum!

Pork loin also makes excellent pulled BBQ without the added prep time of using a pork shoulder. You can put pork loin in a smoker, but if you want to maximise convenience and shorten the cooking time just put it into a crockpot. A smaller pork loin around 5 to 6 pounds fits perfectly in a slow cooker. You can generously add your favorite rub or if you want carnitas just add a bottle of mojo sauce. Wait 5 hours, done.

So glad to see your video. I love the braised Mexican pork idea. Will give that a try. I had a pork dish at a Mexican restaurant that served authentic Mexican...not the American'd up version. It was cooked in a dark brown rich sauce with just a hint of heat. Was so dang delicious and tender.... then the restaurant didn't make it through the Covid period and closed down. I have not been able to find a place that serves it or figure out how to cook it. Hoping your version is close. I like the dark meat part for pork chops...is like a leaner version of pork steaks. Marinated overnight in Korean BBQ sauce and then grilled on the BBQ or seared in a pan...delicious. I use the pinker chops and pound out into tenderloins and I also grind some up for pork burger to mix in with hamburger to stretch the savings of the higher cost of beef burger.
