They roast up perfect, and you'd think it was a store boughten one. <br /><br />Put your Hen in a Roaster with your seasonings, and at least an inch of water. Cook it slow, and long and you will be very very surprised. It's the moist heat that does it.<br /><br />Edith Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-46531821848136934292013-11-07T08:58:47.737-06:002013-11-07T08:58:47.737-06:00I stew all of my old hens in a big stock pot until...I stew all of my old hens in a big stock pot until the meat is falling off them bones. Then I pick all the meat off, strain the stock, and the bones go back in to make an extra batch of stock. I use the meat in stir fries, soup, enchiladas, casseroles, etc and it is pretty good that way. I've never tried grinding the meat...great idea!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing on The HomeAcre Harvest Hop!

Unfortunately, post-Fukashima all seafood is now suspect. We just don't eat fish anymore, period. We will have to grown our own via aquaculture. We too were big eaters of Alaska canned salmon, but no more...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039969829520234519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-46645640304389019192013-10-29T19:19:35.400-05:002013-10-29T19:19:35.400-05:00Yes, this grinder does work great!

Of course, safety always comes first. We wanted to highlight safe procedures under comfortable and difficult situations.<br /><br />No, we don't cook in a pressure cooker, although I know others that do. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-61025480738280120732013-10-29T13:21:21.556-05:002013-10-29T13:21:21.556-05:00Love your measurements :) Why would you even cons...Love your measurements :) Why would you even consider pushing down anything in a grinder with your finger? From my point of view that's just an accident waiting to happen.<br /> Also, do you have a pressure cooker? They really are helpful in making tough cuts of meat or old birds tender. Of course, they are only useful if you have a source of consistent even heat like an electric or propane stove top.Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.com
