Deli Meat ?
Comments (9)I just blot it with paper towels....and use the firmer, dryer meat. Shows yout he amount of water youa re paying for. The freezing and thawing is what makes it come out of the meat....much the same way that frozen berries and soft veggies get watery when thawed. I often buy a whole "loaf" of ham for the church, have it sliced and make sandwiches out of parta nd freeze the rest. When I thaw the meat....it is very watery....and I use paper towels to blot it up. However "good ham" or "good turkey" doesn't get watery when it's frozen because it hasn't been pumped full of "solution". Linda C...See MoreDo you ever make deli style meats at home?
Comments (1)I bought a turkey breast like you did that I grilled/smoked, and it still did not come out as good a deli meat. I think the key to getting it moist is to add some fat under the skin of the breast, such as butter or pork fat. When I make roast pheasant, I always wrap it in salt pork because the meat is too lean. With turkey breast, it is also a good idea to do the dry salt method a couple of days before cooking - it's better than brining, but if yours has a salt solution already added, that won't be necessary. Poaching would be good if you want to shred the meat, but not so good if you want thin slices. The other advantage that delis have is the commercial meat slicer. I've always wanted one of those, but the good ones cost several hundred dollars, and I decided it would be better just to continue buying the deli meat - and in small quantities. One thing I do is grind my own meat for sausage. Instead of using a casing, I make the shape with aluminum foil and steam them, or else just make patties. I haven't done this lately because I have a bigger budget for food now and less time. You should be able to make your own corned beef, and that is boiled, I believe, although I've never made it. The best I've had was at the Fairfax Farmers' Market, across the street from CBS Television City, and it was pulled out of a huge vat.

Comments (22)Just 2 of us here so I always freeze the bacon. I don't freeze it in one lump, though, I freeze it in 2 strips "each." I take a large sheet of parchment paper and put 2 slices of bacon near the bottom, then roll once and slap another 2 slices of bacon on the parchment paper - and I continue this (takes about 6 or 7 rolls) until my pound package of bacon is all encased in the parchment. Then I slide it into a Ziploc freezer bag. Using the parchment (it doesn't stick to itself) makes it very easy to remove what I need (usually 2 strips for soups, 4 strips for breakfast) and just throw the rest back in the freezer....See MoreKeeping bacon, deli meats, lettuce etc fresher longer!
Comments (11)I bought Fridgesmart products from a friend who sells Tupperware, and they are AWESOME! Granted, they are an outlay at first, but they keep fresh veggies fresh at least twice as long, and lunchmeat and cheese too! It has little vents to adjust the amount of "breathing" the vegetables do and a printed on chart to tell you how to set the vents for different items. I love them. Of course, I spent a fortune at a party and then went yard saling and found some pieces for a few dollars from a former consultant who was clearing out her inventory. Ebay is another good place to look for it. I highly recommend it!...See MoreAnnegriet
