This book teaches you how to safely---with large emphasis on safety and hygiene---prepare, and store meat using a wide variety of canning, freezing, and curing methods. The text is well-illustrated with diagrams of equipment (including sausage makers, and smokers) and methods. There are plenty of helpful tips, and handy charts indicating how long a product should be heated per pound (with time adjustments when cooking at altitude). The recipes in the book are massive. Most require 100lb of meat, pounds of salt, and gallons of water; a few handful of recipes call for 3-10 pounds of meat.

Join the generations of hunters in the wild & in the aisles of local supermarkets who have learned to can, freeze, cure & smoke meat, fish & game with this simple, safety-conscious primer about making beef jerky, bologna, cured turkey, bacon, corned beef, pemmican, clam chowder, & much, much more.

It will also turn you on to other ways to prepare your meats, & fill you with satisfaction when you look in your freezer, on your shelves & in your cupboards.

Very glad it's been re-printed - my ancient copy was getting unreadable!

I ordered this book to find out how to cure bacon and smoke meat. I found it very helpfull. I was having a hard time in finding a cure, but the book sugested a cure by mortin. I will tell everyone I know. If you need a good meat book this is one of our favorites.

This is a really good book to have on hand. It has a lot of really nice recipes and it is very easy to read. The directions are very clear and well written.

Got this for my dad for Christmas and he just loves it! Great book and great information! This was perfect!

Excellent book with a lot of information. This is the second book I have bought as the first is worn out.

Before I read this book, I knew NOTHING about preserving meat. Now, if the power goes out, my cabinet will be full and my stomach will be happy. :D

Good book for all to read. I have experience and still learned a lot as well as verified they knew what they were talking about.

Very Useful for anyone interested in Living off of the Land.

too much emphasis on what the federal government deems as necessary safety. it's important to be safe especially with meats, but several things work well to preserve foods.
