For todays cook; One thing that stands out is when you were cold smoking the cheese. Somethng that I've learned over the years when it comes to cold smoking anything, but especially cheeses is to let them ride for 3-6 hrs min. Then, instead of cutting into them right away, or in your case, grating them, put them into plastic bags and place them to hold in the fridge for at least a week. This allows the smoke to redistribute more evenly, and penetrate even deeper into the cheese making the smoke flavor 100% more prevalent, especially for grating etc.
I’ve found this to be true as well. That said, I can’t smoke cheese at this time of year at home (we live in the Phoenix area…too hot). I could probably do it at the cabin, where morning temps float around 45F right now. For a cold smoked cheese, the ambient temp needs to be low enough that the cheese won’t melt.
For what it's worth, Yoder smokers will also run the fan only so you can move smoke while cold smoking. Also, I wouldn't suggest using that smoked cheese right away. It has a fairly acrid bitter note to it right after you smoke it. I like to vacuum seal it for at least 2-3 weeks. Give it a try some time as an experiment, even possibly as an idea for an episode. Smoke identical blocks of cheese and try them immediately, after a week, 2-3 weeks and a month or so. I guarantee you will find that the smoke flavor has mellowed and settled out after letting it rest.
Happy Memorial Day to you too Neil and thank you for your service too. Remember the sounds and always make Momma happy with your cooking too. Stay safe and have a great weekend. This was a 3 in one recipe video that will be passed on time and time again. Thanks for sharing with us Neil and AMY.
I don't think I've ever seen a cheese ball the size of a basketball before. That thing looks amazing. Amy, I'm with you on the pigs in a blanket, not because they're "cute" per se, I have little interest in how cute my food is, but just because they look better.
That cheese ball looks straight $$$$! I dig all 3 apps, but I do love a good piggy in the blanky.. but never thought of this adult version my guy. But back to the point, that’s 1 phenomenal cheese ball ✊🏼🧐! Super dope episode, definitely want to try this once I get another smoker. Just might have to blow some coin and get a pellet smoker. Cheers y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

The bagel seasoning is awesome. and if you want to be able to control the salt, Mrs Dash has Bagel seasoning with no salt

That meatball Dutch oven is going to be a job to wash up🤣🤣
hahaha Thats what Amy said....all clean and ready to go...nothing hot water and good ol Dawn couldn’t handle..hhahah was a chore..

Another home run from the folks at Pellets & Tits. 😂

I’m making this cheeseball for our cookout on Monday!! What would you suggest using if you didn’t have that PS Seasoning Elote?
That’s a tuff one. Maybe garlic powder onion powder and more taijin powder. Maybe some taco seasoning honestly….
What was that elote seasoning?
from ps seasoning
