I know I’m 3 years late on this but, I have to say nice job first. Second I’ve always bought and my family have gone for 5 generations in New York. Manhattan . Lower east side meat market on second ave Julian bashinski … their sausage is what inspired me to cook and get into charcuterie. Preferably krakowska should be sliced a bit thicker to our taste. Their kraijana keilbasi is better than the old country as most say. I don’t know the old country. On another note My wife who is Thai has so many sausage recipes that are so different it just boggles my mind. I’ll be making a Thai sausage this weekend with pork skin and jelly noodle that is one of her favorites. Im thankful of all your informative posts and she knows I’m obsessed with this craft. I continue to strive to be not perfect but to make tasty charcuterie and to keep cooking as a passion that fills our hearts. I’m looking forward to the next start to your show in October season 5. Plus have lots of friends in LA. Even worked down in Nola cooking. Long time ago, still wish Alex Patout’s was in the quarter. Some reason I think he had the best turtle soup I’ve ever had. My good friend Dave is in Bougalusa. He still calls me the only redneck that he met on Long Island. Thank you for the journey so far looking forward to more. Plus been using the sausage maker for about 8 years so I’m a little behind you and glad to keep learning and the experience
Thanks for the great comment!! Miss Alex's 😥. I love Thai sausages!! They are so wild. We only have 1 week left for the big show! I can't wait for this season to start as well. It's going to be epic!
I have tried about 20 other recipes for this sausage until I found yours,.. this one is the real deal and is fantastic,.. well done Guys,... I make this every weekend now and my son and I eat about a kilo a week between us,.. many thanks and keep them recipes coming,..
Pretty new to charcuterie and sausage making. With the help of this channel, I have made some sausages that were way better than any store-bought sausages I purchased. With that, I decided to endeavour to make Krakowska. Being the first time, I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out fantastic! I like a more peppery flavour, so the next time I will add course ground black pepper to the recipe to get the taste and the visual of the pepper in the slice. To my wife's dismay (but not my friends), this has become an addicting hobby. Thanks for sharing this recipe and technique.
When my grandfather was alive , my grandmother would make this type of sausage and she called it krajovane, which is Polish for cut. We thought she just called it that because it was descriptive. She came from Warsaw, a large family and her father was a veterinarian. When she got a little older and didn't want jobs as big as this we would buy same type of sausage from a butcher in Greenpoint Brooklyn which was not far from our house, and he called it by the same name krajovane kielbasa. Most of the kielbasa that she made was to my grandfather who would cut chunks of it and have it either as a meal or a snack while he read his paper at the table
Another awesome video! FYI when hand stuffing large casings I find that a mason jar funnel comes in handy...I hold the casing on the funnel with one hand and stuff with the other.
Very nice video. I have a beef bung left over. I think this would be a good stuffer product. In my opinion, best part of the video was the cold coming off your grinder in slow motion. Epic camera work!
Wow it's amazing results I can see!! Though it sounds easy doing but look hard 2 get the gadgets as simple looking !! Ty dear I'm v pleased with this lovely videos. I'm watching loveing the post from TANZANIA ty dear Ameen
I have been craving this sausage for some time. I have not been able to find it in Australia and it is not looking like I travel to Poland to have it again will be happening. I think I will have to get all the stuff together to make this. Thanks
Hi Guys, a bit of knowledge, the poaching time is calculated as 1 minute per 1 millimeter diameter so the correct time for this sausage, 75mm diameter, is 75 minutes, a few extra minutes won't hurt, This is the German/Austrian method, also, the temperature you give, 145F-63C is too low, it has to be 70C-158F to 75C- 167F. The cold smoking method and time is fine. All the best.
I tried to view on google and was asked to submit name and email. Was told that email address already exists. Yes because I had submitted previously So I wasn’t able to connect But can connect to RUclips. I just wanted to copy the recipe to hard copy. Made the krakower and it turned out perfectly. Thank you
@@2guysandacooler thanks got it and will make again. First attempt is perfect. Taste. Consistency of texture all perfect. Thanks for posting this and your total post is brilliant and such a help to we who enjoy charcuterie
So... it should be a bit more smoked. In traditional way we usedr some mustard seeds. But! It is the best video a out Krakowska sausage I had ever seen. Your sausage looks awsome inside, much better them big part of polish shops product. Tkank you for this recipe. I will make it but a will smok a Little Bit more and im gona dry it a few days. Thank you once again :)
Looks great, but you should smoke it in 55°C for 2 up 3h to get color and then in 90°C till you get inside the sausage 68°C then let it cool down in draft cool place and let it dry out for couple of days , sorry about my English
I'm curious about the history of this sausage now. Three different consistencies of meat just seems like an odd thing to become popular. I assume it's a texture/mouth feel thing? The whole chunks were the what threw me off. Big fan of your channel! You are a fantastic educator.
I'll give you a solid tip about pork... you'll thank me for it too. Get your hands on some red meat pork. Old breeds if you raise them, potbelly pigs often are but red meat pigs. It will change your whole perspective of what pork should taste like and you will never look at store bought pork the same. It's like comparing a McDonald's chicken nugget to a rotisserie chicken
Awesome video. I’m on a quest to make all the sandwich meat and meat in general that I eat, myself. I hunt deer and raise hogs. This will be in my rotation soon. Thanks.
Interesting. Personally I'm not a fan of the traditional Krakowska sausage- I like the texture, I like how lean it is, the smoky notes. What I'm not too keen on is the spices used. I had a look at your recipe and your spices differ from what's traditionally used, so I would be definitely up for trying it. Maybe your spice mix would change my mind about this meat. The stuff you made looks really good :)
This looks amazing! I have a couple of really silly questions; 1. If I can’t find this larger casings, can I roll it tightly in Saran Wrap? 2. Can I omit the smoker and water bath, if I don’t have them? 3. Is this only curing salt 1? Sorry for the questions but it looks awesome and I’d like to try it Cheers
Great teaching videos. I used to make a few types of sausages, using equipment and other ingredients from The Sausage Maker. I relied on Rytek Kutas' book. I feel more confident following this video format.
Rule of thumb for a cooked product is 2.5/.3 INSTACURE . A proper SAUSAGE stuffer is a lot less work!! Try incorporating MUSTARD SEED or CRUSHED Black Pepper and LIQUID SMOKE in the CURE .
I have a smoker but it's way to hot to cold smoke in Vegas right now. If I put that in the smoker to cold smoke it would cook from the heat outside. Could I put this is a sandwich meat press and do sous vide?
Hello. I just finished making it. Great recipe, can't wait to try it. I have one question please, there is too much water inside the casing coming from the meat. What did I do wrong?
Hi Eric, great video as always! Do you have any recommendations for a food slicer. I don't want a commercial one, I'd like something around 300 that will cut thin. I know you've had lots of them before switching to a commercial did you like any of them?
you have installed you shaft incorrectly or your grinder is kinda eccentric, either way look at your shaft next time btw kiełbasa krakowska najlepiej smakuje kiedy jest suszona, gotowana jest dobra, suszona jest boska

One of my all time favorites. Now, I’ve got a recipe that’s dialed in! It’s a crowd pleaser for sure!

Very nice video and presentation. Love your chanel!!! For a 120mm casings, what should be the cooking time and temperature? Thanks in advance.
If you cook sous vide at 145f i would cook for 5 hours. If you cook at 175f I would cook for 2 hours. You want the internal temp to be at 145f -150f
@@2guysandacooler even if is a beef salami? I want to try and do a halal version of this and I am using beef meat instead of pork.
Wow that looks amazing. I wonder if you could dust the large pieces in a hot spice to make it taste like a hot cappi ham?
Well done! Also nice name for the channel
This is an amazing video.looks great..Thank you for sharing..❤I am going to make it 🎉
Great video! I would love taste it.
Hi Eric! Can I make this recipe with only salt( no curing salt)? can something bad happen? Thank you

Beautiful!
What an amazing video as always my friend, enjoyable and fantastic! This is the bar set for my videos

Lovely
Nice work Friend!
I grew up with it in South Bend, Indiana.
Rule of thumb for a cooked product is 2.5/.3 INSTACURE . A proper SAUSAGE stuffer is a lot less work!! Try incorporating MUSTARD SEED or CRUSHED Black Pepper and LIQUID SMOKE in the CURE .
When stuffing the casing, should I take notice of the grain in the big chunks?
I wouldn't worry about that too much. Once it's all said and done, the sausage is sliced pretty thinly so every bite will be super tender
@@2guysandacooler thank you Eric.
The result was delicious, big thumbs up to your recipes, today I'm making your turkey bologna
adorei o vídeo... vou fazer!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🇻🇳👍💯😍😍 . Cảm ơn bạn món ăn ngon Thank you Chúc bạn thành công trên mọi nẻo đường
Is there some kind of chart or rule that determines the cook time. Say one hour per inch of diameter?
If is beef salami, you'd cook it the same temp and same internal temp?
yes.
Is the Ham raw (pork leg), or previously cured? Looks good!
The ham meat is raw. I cured it in this process
Can you use the free nitrate powder instead?
بینظیر بود ممنون 👏👏👏👏👏
Krakowska kielbasa.... yummmmyyy....😂👍
I would suggest hanging it for at least a week to let it dry and help intensify the flavors.
Would love to see you make polish zywiecka.
Looks like ham. Love your channel
I have a smoker but it's way to hot to cold smoke in Vegas right now. If I put that in the smoker to cold smoke it would cook from the heat outside. Could I put this is a sandwich meat press and do sous vide?
yes. A ham press would work great
rất hay và tôi rất thích cách bạn làm , trông thật ngon
Hello. I just finished making it. Great recipe, can't wait to try it. I have one question please, there is too much water inside the casing coming from the meat. What did I do wrong?
is it water or fat?
@@2guysandacooler It was more like water, pinkish color.

Hi Eric, great video as always! Do you have any recommendations for a food slicer. I don't want a commercial one, I'd like something around 300 that will cut thin. I know you've had lots of them before switching to a commercial did you like any of them?
@@fatbuttbassett4732 I am looking at getting a second hand bestwood 250 do you think it's a good one for super thin slicing?
What can i use instead of cure?
Is this a sausage that could be dry cured? As opposed to cooked?
hi thanks you show me the video. Can you ask me when cooking through hot water 145f for?
Generally for 3 hours or until the inside of this sausage gets to the safe temperature.
hello i dont have a smoker can i skip that step and go to the sous vid
Yes. It will still be delicious
Does the cooking bath water not go into the casing , where you poked the air bubbles?
No. The sausage meat is tightly pressed along the holes. No water gets in :)
Wowww..i like it..What os the recipe?
check the description box
love it
you have installed you shaft incorrectly or your grinder is kinda eccentric, either way look at your shaft next time
btw kiełbasa krakowska najlepiej smakuje kiedy jest suszona, gotowana jest dobra, suszona jest boska
LOL. Yeah. That's an old grinder that was starting to act crazy!! We just replaced it with a newer model.. Thanks for the drying tip😀.
What spices did you put?
Idea time, if I whip too much air in my emulsion I can run it in my chamber vac to get the air out
yes. You would have to put it in a large bowl and do it several times to get the air out but that will work :)

yes
What cure are you using? Is it a nitrate? How much total weight of meat… beef weight vs total pork fatty weight vs pork lean weight

What could be the shelf life?
If I am unable to source non fat milk powder can I substitute with skim milk powder or another powder.
