Pork and beef meat must be ground in a meat grinder 2 times along with fatty pork belly or lard. In order for the fat to grind properly, it should be frozen first.

In a separate container, spices are mixed according to the recipe, along with dry milk. It is important that if nitrite salt 0.5-0.6% is used, then ordinary kitchen salt is no longer needed. The mixture is poured into the minced meat and a glass of ice water is poured in.Next, everything is kneaded for 10 minutes with gloved hands so that the mass heats up less from the palms. Ice water is an important condition for minced sausage, which should not be neglected.

You can cook the rings in a smokehouse, or in a regular oven on a rack greased with vegetable oil. When baking in the oven, the temperature is set at 80-85°C. After an hour, you will need to put a saucer of water in the oven. The total baking time for sausage at this temperature is 2.5-3 hours.

    In my Soviet childhood, I didn’t even know about “Krakowskaya”; I had to go to the regional center to buy boiled food.

    In fact, sodium nitrite is a strong poison; it is used in the production of meat products as a color fixative and as an antibacterial agent in the prepared product. When preparing at home, it may happen that some of the sodium nitrite is concentrated in part of the product. and will lead to poisoning. And at home in the kitchen, if you salt any dish with sodium nitrite that accidentally gets into the salt shaker, it will lead to death. Therefore, if you prepare sausage without sodium nitrite, you will get homemade sausage that is no less tasty, without fixing the color of raw meat. In the industrial production of meat products, sodium nitrite is dissolved in water, mixed with minced meat, with the addition of seasonings, protein and moisture-retaining additives and mixed thoroughly, thereby achieving uniform distribution.

      A single lethal dose of sodium nitrite for a person is 2-6 g. And in nitrite salt it is 0.6%, in order to die you need to eat a kilogram once or 50-60 kg of sausage according to this recipe once.
