No, I don't cook them before freezing. Mincing the meat whilst it is still semi frozen just makes it quicker and easier to mince. I leave them in the fridge overnight to 'bloom', then bag & freeze on the following day. This is advice I picked up from the sausagemaking forum.

Ok, thanks for that. I've got pork in the freezer that I got for making sausages. Thought I'd need to cook them before I re-froze them.0

Another step closer...The Sausage Book arrived today. Only problem is I don't have any meat in and I don't really fancy the shops at the moment. It's a war zone out there![SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

Is anybody in here making their own sausages ?
Is it easy and not too messy?
Does it save or cost money?
How would you clean up an ancient mincer that you found in a shed ? LOL!0 -
Sorry, can't help with the amswers. Just wanted to say that I'm glad you asked, as I too have been thinking about making my own. I have a metal hand mincer already, but don't want to spend too much on other equipment, as we don't eat them that often. Don't know where to start though, so I'll look forward to reading the replies

Home made sausages. That should have all the answers x xA little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

Hi mardatha,
If the mincer is very old and rusty it might be difficult to clean up to a standard where you would be happy to mince meat in it.
These threads discuss mincers:
Need your help please, mincer choice?
Hand mincer (for meat, not hands!)
Spong Mincer
And this thread has lots of advice on making your own sausages:

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Hi! If it is an old spong type mincer they clean up easily and then can be oiled with olive oil.
Sausages are fun to make but not really cheaper, but what is good is that you know what goes in them (ie no sawdust!) and the sense of achievement.
A cheap £40 sausage maker works well unless you start making loads like us, then you can pay around £200 for one.
Most butchers shops will sell you the skins (go for natural) and seasonings & crumb. Then just have some fun!
Good sources of info are: https://www.sausagemaking.org.
It is really straightforward though (my kids do it...11 & 14).
Good luck!:AInfamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!
