Cooked smoked sausages from turkey meat, pork, beef and other types of meat

Any sausage can now be bought in the store. But self-cooked is much tastier, moreover, here you can be sure of the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. Cooked-smoked sausage at home is relatively easy to prepare, the main thing is to first study the description of the method and follow the instructions exactly.

Classification and types of cooked-smoked sausages

A product can be classified according to the following criteria:

  1. Meat used (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, rabbit, lamb, horse meat). The most delicious is beef and pork boiled-smoked sausage.
  2. "Drawing". It is created on the cut by adding pieces of bacon or tongue to the minced meat. Most believe that this has a positive effect on the taste of a homemade product.

If we talk about store-bought boiled-smoked sausages, according to GOST, they are classified according to the quality of raw materials for a product of the highest, first, second and third grade. Products of the highest category are considered the highest quality and tastiest, because lumpy meat is used for cooking (its content in minced meat is from 80%), without white.

In the industrial production of sausages, the use of chemicals is inevitable, so homemade products are much healthier.

Important! Of all the cooked-smoked sausages, "Cervelat" is considered the best in quality and taste.

What does boiled-smoked sausage look like?

According to the main characteristics, boiled-smoked sausage differs from boiled sausage by a more "friable" consistency and a light, but noticeable smoked aroma. The cut shows that the minced meat for her is not a homogeneous mass, but separate small pieces. Compared to smoked sausage, cooked-smoked sausage is softer, as it contains more moisture. Her taste is not so intense.

The easiest way to "identify" a cooked-smoked sausage is by its cut

Important! The cut color can range from pale pink to deep deep red. It depends on the type of meat used. But in any case, voids are not allowed.

How many calories are in cooked smoked sausage

The energy value of a product depends on the type of meat used. On average, the calorie content of boiled-smoked sausage per 100 grams is 350 kcal. It also has a high fat content (30 g per 100 g) and proteins (20 g per 100 g) with a complete absence of carbohydrates.

Based on this, it can in no way be considered a dietary product. It should be included in the diet in moderation, otherwise problems with the digestive system are quite likely. However, as a valuable source of protein that provides the body with energy, it will be a useful supplement to the menu for those who do hard physical work or practice intense sports training.

General technology for the manufacture of cooked smoked sausages

Homemade boiled-smoked sausage is much tastier than store-bought sausage, because the cooking process does not use flavors, dyes, thickeners and other chemicals. But in order for the quality of the finished product to be at its best, it is necessary to take into account several important nuances:

  • Minced meat is best prepared with a mixture of beef and pork. The least suitable meat is lamb. Even heat treatment cannot “beat off” its specific smell and taste.
  • It is advisable to buy meat chilled and well-cut, without tendons, cartilage and films.
  • If the meat has to be thawed, this should be done gradually, taking it out of the freezer and leaving it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
  • In order for the minced meat to acquire the necessary density, the shells of boiled-smoked sausage stuffed with it are suspended for 2-3 days, giving it time to "shrink".
  • Finished household products need to be dried. If there are several of them, the loaves are hung at least 15-20 cm apart, so as not to impede air circulation.
  • The sausage is smoked only with a tightly closed lid, otherwise the firewood, instead of producing the necessary smoke, will simply burn.

For homemade cooked-smoked sausage, a natural casing is preferable, rather than edible collagen

Important! Smoking chips must be one-dimensional. Otherwise, the smallest ones light up first, and the big ones - much later. As a result, the shell becomes covered with soot and / or burns.

How much boiled smoked sausage needs to be cooked

It takes at least an hour to cook boiled-smoked sausage. Some recipes involve cooking for 2-3 hours. The main thing at this time is not to let the water boil and constantly monitor the temperature with a thermometer.
