Episode-1248- Preservation of Meats with Ken Strayer




The Survival Podcast show

Summary: TweetSimple Beef Salami Made with Morton Tender Quick Today I want to discuss curing meats.  To do that we are joined by Ken Strayer a member of the TSP audience.  Ken has been curing meats for a few years and did a great job of answering my questions on the basics of curing meats. He was however, extremely efficient and his knowledge is limited to a few types of cured meats so the interview as only about 28 minutes long.  It was 28 extremely informative minutes but my shows are generally at least 50 minutes to an hour in length. So I am adding a bonus segment on the curing of meat via biltong method to the beginning of today’s show along with some stuff I picked up on simple quick “sausage style” cures.  Those might be some cool things you can do for the coming holidays. Also next week we will have The Farmstead Meatsmith on next week.  That will be a somewhat more advanced show.  So think of this show as part one of a two part series.  This will form the basis of your understanding of making cured meats, the basic process, etc. Ken is an awesome guy, he is a medically retired US veteran who served for 10 years in the United States Navy.  He is an avid outdoorsman who spend most of his free time backpacking and fly fishing throughout the North East.  He spends the rest of his time tending to his garden and small homestead, and cooking-and a hobbyist at smoking and curing meats of all types.  A listener of the show for about three years now, a supporter of liberty, and an Oathkeeper.
