Hi Mountain Summer Sausage

[Dionysus]

I received this kit as a gift and noticed that in the instructions that they say NOT (underlined and Bold) to use metal container/bowl for mixing the meat and spices. I have always used my 20 lb stainless mixer for my sausage making (way easier than mixing by hand) and was wondering why these instructions are very specific about not using metal containers or does it really matter?

Any thoughts ...... Thanks

I think that SS is nonreactive...aluminum may be a problem...

But Im not a sausage maker so what do I know...

[dsgarner06]

never aluminum, but SS is fine. At least that is my understanding. There was a thread earlier discussing this very thing, you might search to see if you can find it.

Stainless steel is fine.
That is a great mix by the way. I add hot peppers to it.

I'm sure they mean aluminum. Stainless should be fine, it's what I use.
