*peeks in door* Oh my.

I'm trying a pastrami. Using an entire brisket, following Amazing Ribs' recipe for corned beef. Made the pickling spices (also AR's recipe), and now I'm waiting for the pickling salt in the mail. No one told me how important that stuff is. Beef will go in Monday, expecting to finish in 10 days or so. THEN I actually have to smoke the thing. I hope this is worth it. I want nothing less than Katz or Carnegie quality pastrami at this point.

Just be careful on the final cook for the pastrami itself. That Amazing Ribs rub is delicious as gently caress, but if you decide to steam it from 150 up to final temp, if you go too quickly then if feels like there's not really enough time for enough fat rendering and meat getting tender. It's still a brisket, and it's not a matter of just hitting temp, it needs to spend enough time at those temps too to get nice and tender.

Good note. I was expecting to smoke it all the way through. But if it's more traditionally Jewish to steam it I'd rather follow that.

My wife and I started playing with a stick burner a few weeks ago, we've been starting with some inexpensive cuts to see what we can figure out but it turns out that's all it takes for an amazing pork belly sandwich. Pretty interested in what happens with your pastrami though, I feel like that's the next big objective after we figure out what the gently caress we're doing.

I feel like you are trolling or simply missing some key information. Let's recap this entire conversation, then dive into the microbiology a bit:

16.5 hours at 200 degrees. Put it in a cooler for 2 hours after it hit 190. I might pull it at 185 next time.

Tezcatlipoca posted:

I hope you enjoy botulinum. Like, at least take it above the boiling point.

Whooping Crabs posted:

Nah man the safe ground beef temp is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Botulism toxin is denatured at 175 anyways (since it took so long to get up to temp). It's safe but it might not be that tender since you want to try to get it up to ~205 in order to get that collagen brakedown.
“Foodborne botulism is a rare illness caused by eating foods contaminated with botulinum toxin. Spores of C. botulinum are ubiquitous in the environment (3), but growth and elaboration of toxin occur only under particular conditions that include an anaerobic, low-salt, low-acid environment." "Toxin is destroyed by heating to 85°C for at least 5 minutes (Note – I’ve also seen 180 degrees F for 10 minutes as well – ref https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/nutrition-food-safety-health/botulism-9-305/).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3320287/

Tezcatlipoca posted:

The bacteria that create the toxins do not die until around 225 so that doesn't mean poo poo.

Whooping Crabs posted:

For botulism, it's the toxin, not the spores, which cause disease (unless you are an infant or immunocompromised). The spores can't germinate/survive in your gut. Also this is why it's not recommended to give infants honey because it may contain botulism spores.

"For almost all children and adults who are healthy, ingesting botulism spores is not dangerous and will not cause botulism (it’s the toxin that is dangerous)."

https://www.cdc.gov/botulism/prevention.html

There are other potential bacterial-secreted toxins which can cause food poisoning (staph, others) but those also are denatured around ~80c (175f).
Here’s the thing – C. botulinum will only grow in certain conditions (anaerobic, at certain temperatures and acidities – see the link above). There are two states of the bacteria – a dormant endospore and the vegetative bacteria. The endospore is heat resistant up to very high temperatures, but the vegetative form is the one that produces the toxin, and only at certain temperatures and conditions. The spores are ubiquitous in our environment, and not normally dangerous to ingest, since they will not germinate into the vegetative form, or won’t live long enough once germinated in our colon. Growth and production of toxin in food is on the scale of tens of hours to days (Table 2 – see T1,000) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12747693/. Growth occurs only at temperatures between 38 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit. https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/nutrition-food-safety-health/botulism-9-305/ Again, if you heat the food enough (~175 for 10 minutes), you have already killed the vegetative bacteria, and denatured the toxin.

Tezcatlipoca posted:

drat you really don't understand bacteria. The botulism is creating botulinum toxins. Denaturing the toxins but not killing the bacteria means the bacteria will continue to create the toxins. This is very basic stuff. You're also ten degrees too low for killing the botulinum toxin so you're trying to kill people anyway.
This is just wrong, see above. Cook a steak to 125c (~250 farenheit - the temperature to deactivate endospores) internal temp and tell me how it tastes.

Also, as a food inspector, you should know that the minimum safe temperature to cook beef to is only 145 °F internal temperature

Ok here's a bad picture of some ribs I smoked two days ago. Used a dry rub to start, did the 3-2-1 method, finished the last hour with a homemade bbq sauce. I used cinnamon for the first time in both the rub and the sauce, and it turned out really delicious.

I exclusively buy Costco ribs and never wrap them, because I can't be bothered. :shrug: They always turn out super well regardless.

I have to admit to buying Costco's pre-dryrubbed st.louis ribs because I am assuming they are using the Pork Barrel rub; that I also shamefully buy there instead of making my own.

This is the first time I have done full, untrimmed spareribs. Only wrapped for an hour but that seems to do the trick.

St. Louis style rib prep. All the ones I buy have the silver skin so I remove that, but when you turn them over half of them have this flap of meat and fat. Should I be removing that or just trimming the fat or??

I don't have a specific recipe per say.... Salt up and sear as much of the rib end slab thing as you can in a hot pan, then drop it in the crock pot with the usual suspects. A few carrots, potatoes, celery stalks, an onion, a few garlic cloves, some tomato paste, some broth, worcestershire, a bay leaf or two, maybe a sachet of other random herbs you have (rosemary, parsley, thyme, oregano, whatever). Could sub the broth for some red wine, or a mix of the two. Crock pots own. Just dump poo poo in there and turn it on for 8 hours.

I’m done with my MES. I turn it to 195 and the temp drops as low as 180. It turn it to 205 and it climbs to 250. The temp swings just seem insane for trying to maintain a temp. I’m doing ribs and set it for 215 knowing it reads a bit high and it peaked at 280.

Edit: problem is definitely between 200 and 205. 200 is too low and 205 skyrockets to 240.

Nothings wrong with the probe. I’m using two of them reading from different thermometers and they’re pretty close to each other.



The smoker was set to 215 at the end there when it peaked to 270. It’s set for 210 now. I opened it once toward the beginning.

I just tested my builder generic electric oven last night because my wife was suspicious of it. +15-50 degrees, depending whether the element was on or off. When I had an MES, it was the same way.

In the end though dude variations like that have little effect in your cooked product. I typically shoot for 225-250 and will accept variations up to 275.
