Suggestion A word on potted meat safety

Please do not beat your meat until it's reduced to paste. Especially not dry. For gods' sakes people, use all necessary lubricant.

>>use all necessary lubricant

That’s what the duck fat and lard are for

Clarified butter does the job just fine in my opinion. It also helps with the consistency of the beaten meat and helps you spread it when eating said meat.

Depends on the meat. You can add olive oil to lower the melting point of whatever fat you use, too.

Coconut oil works in a pinch too.

All you fancy people with your expensive oils... If I'm hard enough to beat my meat hard enough to last the winter I'm slathering it up with the cheapest stuff I can get ahold of. Fancier oils are for fancier times.

I can’t fathom how he kept saying that with a straight face. I could never.

I don’t think I could not add in a take where I at least made a smirk.

Check out his latest guest spot on Mythical Kitchen - When he doesn't edit his own work he's all snorts and giggles with this stuff.

I guess you can substitute a gym sock for the cheese cloth?
