My mom used used a large hand grinder that clamped to the counter. She ground bologna or cooked ham, added seasoning, mayo, mustard, sweet pickle relish to make a spread for sandwiches.
I always taken a teaspoon of the mix and cook it in a dry skillet to taste for salt and seasoning before I cook it. I also add liquid smoke as well.
me too.. great idea.
I am all over this. Went straight to Amazon to get me one. Those would really cook up on a fry pan to make a warm an crispy goodness of a hot sandwich.
So I made it today with 3lbs chicken thighs. My seasonings were a tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar & chicken bouillon powder. I used a tablespoon of nonfat dry milk as the binder. It taste just like and is the color of bbq chicken.
Thanks for sharing this! I will absolutely try the dry milk next time!!!
Can I ask why you put in the dry milk?
@@line65 For binding the meat togeather

when making turkey ham I use an egg white as a binder. That is another option.I am keto, so the powdered milk is out for me.
i made some turkey ham as you can't buy it anymore,i used pants down aprons on site. It turned out great . the second time i added liquid smoke and now it tastes for sure like turkey ham. In the future i might try cold smoking it after I cook it in the thing you used. thanks for the recipe.
I’ve never seen anyone make lunch meat before!! 🤯 Awesome video!
That is so cool! You have definitely inspired me!
I'm a vegetarian but this video was so awesome it almost made me want to eat chicken!
I know it, I'm a catholic and this almost made me convert to protestant
Thank You for sharing just found your channel….I’m making my own as well I purchased one of these cans for Christmas I love it.
Oo thanks for watching and have fun experimenting with it!
Great video, like a pro..
That looks amazing and I never knew I could make lunch meat. They would also make nice gifts around the holidays.
You guys are the best. So glad i found you! Im going to use my lunch meat maker this weekend. I wanna make chicken olive loaf.
Ooo that sounds so good! We bought a discounted after thanksgiving turkey and we are going to grind it up for lunch meat this weekend! Maybe we should add some olives?? Love it!
We wrap our did deli meats in film and sous vide them at 140f for 2 - 4 hours on the weekend. Our app for the sous vide asks, what meat, what weight and how thickn at the thickest part of the roll, then give us a time. Normally I just set it and go to work, and leave it running for 8 hour's. During the work week. I would recommend looking at ways to insulate the container you put the water in, I drilled a hole in the lid of a good quality beach cooler to fit the heating elements , it reduced the amount of energy use compared to one of the clear tanks by just over 50% according to the kill a watt meter when i tested it. You can use the spring loaded deli cooker if put it in at Ziploc bag with the air squeezed out using water pressure, just allow a bit of extra time. Only ever coated the outside of my deli meat with paprika and black pepper after cooking, rolling the meat in the spices wrapping it tightly in film. Take a look at meat glue if you want to use whole meat rather than ground meat. The gyro meat works well if you fry/griĺ it to make some crispy or charred.
Thank for finding that cool gadget! I will be adding that to my kitchen gadgets. Good bye processed lunch meat!😊
But it's processed in a processor
If you use a serrated blade it will cut easier. Looks good! Going to try this!
I've made this numerous times & if you put a lid on your pot of water when boiling it cuts down the cooking time by about half. My "meat tube" sticks up about an inch or so above the top of my pot leaving a gap so the water doesn't boil over. But it kinda traps some of the heat in the pot. If that makes sense? It's kinda hard to explain without a visual.
Also, once the loaf of meat is cooked & cooled I've found it's easier to slice thin if you cut it in half lengthwise cause then it doesn't roll. I thought about a meat slicer as well but I always sharpen my knife real well before & with a little practice I have gotten pretty good.
One more thing... this freezes very well. I make a big/double batch & package it in individual zipper bags & suck out as much air as I can from the bags because I don't have a vacuum sealer & I've found it tastes just as fresh when thawed from the freezer after being frozen for up to 3 months. I can't attest to any longer than that though.
I hope all of what I've shared might be helpful!
Thank you so much for all of this!!!
Assuming you could add Prague powder as a curing agent. Have made some fantastic pressed ham and want to try chicken, turkey, and beef products.
Have a Mexican market close by that sells seasoned chicken picado that looks like it would make a fajita seasoned. Chicken product.....got to try it.
Love this. I usually slow roast my meats and make sandwiches to avoid the nitrates in deli meats.
I love the Wife Husband "Do yer even live here" Vibe,very subtle & funny very British humor imo 😂 a good double act in the making 😂
Any old school Brit stand up comedy duo had the funny one and the straight dead pan 😂
one
I'd work on that 😂
You have inspired me!!
Well done! I like your spice selection.
Hopefully, you kept making these lunch meat videos, because it is really something that I am interested in. It is just TOO EXPENSIVE to buy store-bought deli meat anymore. And, it's not as safe as it used to be. Around us, all of the Boar's Head deli meat was recalled, because someone had died after getting a bad case of listeria. And, also, I ate at McDonald's on 10-22-2024 (Tues about 3pm) for lunch and had a QPC with extra, extra onions. Well, I got some type of food poisoning or E.Coli after that meal, and I am still not 100% back yet ... and it's like 11-07-2024. Still getting postprandial pain (as Doctors call it) in my intestines, first was in my stomach, then moved down south, so I'm less trusting of external meat sources. So, I'm gonna make stuff at home.
Yummy I love trying new things
I have run across your channel today and I subscribed. I am not sure why your channel came up in my algorithm hut I am glad it did. I have watched 4 videos so far. I loved the idea of this one and I'm glad I watched it because I laughed so hard when you said "that felt gross" when you were preparing meat bit and the spring bit and the thermometer bit. 😅😅 Your husband is also so funny for calling each part a "bit". I love your personality so I will continue to keep watching. I'm actually gping to look for this item as I think it would be cool to have as I love sandwiches. You also made me laugh so hard when you said you live here even? 😅😅
😄 thanks so much for watching!!
Awesome!! I’ve just purchased these gadgets and was looking for a recipe .. thank you .. and hey can your husband do a video of smoking food. We bought a smoker 2 years ago used once lol we just don’t know what we are doing, and of how he smoked your chicken I noticed water in bottom? Of the smoker ours is a pellet smoker .
"Do you live here even ?" 🤣😂 Great video !
lol we live in Wisco. Vintage crockpot cooking brought us here but you and g have kept us coming back lol.
So glad to have you along for the ride! 😁
He was so easy going. Loved your video.
great job
New sub here. Did the meat stay together when you bit into it? It looked like it did, but wasn’t sure. Have you tried making bologna? This really spikes my interest as I’m always looking for new food ideas for keto diet. Thank you!!!!
Yes! The meat held together perfectly. I haven’t tried bologna, we’ve stuck to chicken and turkey but it would be so fun to experiment!!
For some, the greasiness of McDonald's hash browns is part of their charm. It adds a certain indulgence and decadence to the breakfast experience. It's like treating yourself to a guilty pleasure once in a while. However, for others who prefer a cleaner and less greasy meal, it might be necessary to explore alternative options or modify their order to suit their preferences.
Definitely would try. Like you said between price and ingredients.
Loved the video. How long did you smoke it for and what temp?
My husband did it, he said 225 ish for 1-2 hours. It’s delicious!
Yep....homemade smoked deli meat is fantastic. As long as I have ham presses and and a smoke source, i wont be buying any deli meat!.
I've done pressed hams and used a cold smoke process using a pellet tube that generates some strong smoke but very little heat.....1 to 2 hrs is enough if you have a good smoke source.
I just ripped the mechanicals out of a non functioning pellet smoker to make a smoke box that I can put smoke tube in and meat/sausage for cold smoke......works well.
my other brother. got a smaller slicer many many many years ago and they got theirs at fingerhut. yes its a bit pricier but monthly price was like $3/month. and money was super tight at that time
Great idea! Quick question, have you tried this in the Instant pot?
I have not but that is a great idea!
Yes, I watched someone else make ham with that vertical canister tool ... 9:22 ... And, I wondered the same thing about how do they get a smooth crust and spicy cover on outside of loaf ?
Actually, I think the two of you can figure it out. I'm gonna try to figure it out too ... [Okay, I see how you do it now ... 10:47 ... That is so damned smart. Thanks for showing us.]
Wow Clare I love your nails I paint my own here at my group home
Smoked!! Can you share the smoking process? Fun video:) Thanks!
We have a propane smoker that my husband uses, it’s not at all my area of expertise!
that does look good. add a slice of cheddar cheese and wrap in lettuce. my brother has a decent slicer. he uses it for alot of things.
I made mine, and it was too dry. I will try your addition of olive oil when i make it again.
I got the sane one but it states you need to lert it sit in the fridge for 48 hours for the enzymes to work
Interesting.
I’ve never smoke anything and want to learn. What type of smoker did you use?
We have a smoker that hooks up to a propane tank. It’s simple and small but does the trick! It’s not exactly my expertise however, my husband is the smoker in the house!
@@ClaireRisper Thanks for your response, this what I am looking for something small and easy to use. What is brand of the smoker? Where is it available at?
@@ClaireRisper also thanks to your video. I just got the cylinders for making the lunch meat. Looking forward to experimenting with this. Thanks again
@@darleneharris3540 ours is a Pit Boss brand vertical propane smoker. We’ve been very happy with it!
Can put it in a souv bag so that it Iwill come out easy, thermometer should come into play when you think you're close to the end of your cook.
What city In Michigan do you live in? I live in Grand Rapids in a wonderful group home
Yeah ... 12:11 ... Please, make more videos on topic. Try different recipes and teach rest of us how to do it. I sure think this would be easy way to save money versus $16/# for Boar's Head.
No mystery ingredients is the best !!
Was the meat dry?
No!
What's the benefit of doing this over just slicing the chick breast or even grinding it and cooking it? Is it just the shape?
Are you asking what the point of lunch meat is? It’s the shape, it’s the texture, it’s the ability to add flavors and fat without losing it in a pan? Like I looove a chicken sandwich that’s just a sliced breast but cold cuts and lunch meat just hit different! Like if you ground it up and cooked it, it would be a burger. The method changes the flavor and texture for sure!
@ClaireRisper lmao I guess I kinda am asking that 😅 I haven't had lunch meat in so long... Or a sandwich for that matter. I don't have the appliance so I'll have to see if I can try a similar method with a different shape.
@ I’ve seen people use a loaf pan! You might want to research that! Like a shawarma style chicken I think I saw it on TikTok 👍
Make mortadela olive loaf
Omg. 🤤 next level lol
Good to make your nitrate free deli meat. But smoking is so delicious but cancer causing too.
Nope I’ve never tried homemade lunch meat but we have homemade meat loaf here at my group home
So you made home made lunch meat then put a piece of plastic on it?
Yes ✌️
@ClaireRisper I ain't hating because I do eat american cheese, but just learned it is apparently close to being plastic.
Husband!!! You married (?) a woman that is always right!!!! Lucky you!!!......Yikes.
😂😂😂
@@ClaireRisper I married one of those also, 42 years ago. Feels like 90.....LOLOLing. We will celebrate 43 next year. I wanna make a roast beef deli meat. find a recipe!!!!!!
Would love to game with your husband. Does he have a PC to game on?
Question why didn’t you make him one it seems you wear the pants in the relationship
This is a hugely misogynistic take but I’ll be honest. My husband and I have been happily together for 12 years and I believe a huge key to our success is a balance of power. When it comes to this channel, it’s all mine. He’s not into it but will support me because he loves me and my endeavors are important to him. When it comes to the kitchen, I’m the boss and I cook 99% of everyone’s food. This is a role that is respected in my home, not demeaned. We use our personal strengths and interests to each bring leadership roles to our relationship. And I also hate to point out the obvious, but this is a TH-cam video. It’s been edited for time, and to get the to the point I’m trying to show. I don’t owe you footage of any part of my family dynamic I don’t want to share. Have the day you deserve! ✌️
Awwwww you look so beautiful and happy and I use TikTok sometimes too mostly just Facebook messenger and Snapchat and Instagram
