What's next? Leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like to see me make. I'm up for it :)
I need to know the recipe in teaspoons and pounds.
@@jtayl3735 if you click th elink to my recipe it will convert to us customary. Sorry I don't do teaspoons for sausage recipes. I realize it's not convenient but It's not a good way to make sausages.
Just made the hotdogs. Did a test cook while the batch cures overnight. Flavor on the little patty was amazing, so can't wait for the final product. Watched your video on Andouille sausage. Any chance you can upload that recipe to your website so I can easily scale it for larger batches?
Change the color of your glove it' s scary 🙈🙈🙈🙏
How do you remove the skin from the Hot Dogs 🌭?
I stopped by DQ today. Long story short I ate some dogs without the bun. Noticed the texture and flavor was way better than store bought dogs.
Watching a lot of videos to get that same taste.
Thanks for the video.
The one time I was happy to see what went into the franks. Very nice, makes me happy.
I found this channel by total accident after ordering a meat grinder for my Kitchen Aid. I really had no plans whatsoever on ever making sausages, but that is quickly changing. What a fantastic channel you're running here. There is sausage in my future. One day I would like to challenge myself in making an entire chili dog from scratch.. the dog, the bun, the chili, and maybe even the cheese if I'm feeling brave
Welcome!! I'm glad you found us. A chili dog from scratch sounds amazing!!
@@2guysandacooler Thanks! A chili-dog-from-scratch could be a fun video for your channel too. Thank you again for all the great content and the warm welcome.
Knowing what’s in them and freshly homemade are great things
As always;
Great shows my friend !
Thank you
I'm I'm the process of opening a hot dog food 🚚. My whole idea is make my own hot dogs of 100 % beef and make my own chilli. This will give me a good reputation and hopefully people will appreciate the quality of the hot dog and the chili. I like the process that you use in making the hot dogs but I will try to play with the seasoning to see what would be the best result and changing or using different seasonings to make the hot dog. Great video loved it I appreciate it and this will help me in the process of making my own hot dogs thank you for taking the time to show everyone how to make your own hot dogs
You are very welcome. I'm glad you liked it.
100% beef doesn't taste good!
@@lilil7351 apparently you don't like kosher foods, eat tofu.
@@hassanjamal4212 Delete this sin my brother.
nice man
I've been waiting for you to make this videao!! Great Job Sir!!
Great video, Eric. Those look amazing!
I always come away from your videos learning something new. I can't thank you enough.
I was looking to do the exact same: caseless and kosher! Very much appreciated
Love the video's hopefully this summer I will have all the equipment needed to start doing some of my own. Thanks for all the informative video
Thank you for another great video! I told my wife last night that I would make her a batch of all beef hotdogs. Then this video just popped up today.
Thank you again!
Eric, it's amazing to see this worldwide trip you make to bring us the richness of the charcutarie culture! Congrats!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't put it down. Very addictive. Thanks for sharing
Great. You make such fantastic and informative videos. Thank you
i have to try and make these this week, it just looks perfect. thank you!
Looks wonderful!
Great video! You guys have been so helpful with our process of butchering 4 hogs. We would have had so much more issue if we hadn’t watched your video tips while making sausage and hot dogs!
On my agenda this weekend!
Another very nice recipe that I am going to try next time I do franks. However, I prefer natural sheep casings as they allow for that all important snap when you bite into them, and more importantly, that you can give them a quick 1 - 1.5 hour smoke with your favourite smoke wood, to give that authentic frankfurter flavour.
🤤🤤🤤🤤
Greetings from Kenya.
Good job.. thank you
Hi Eric thanks sooo much for that video. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.
Hey Eric I would like to do the same. Can we chat?
Thank you and sure. I think you emailed me. I'll write back.
AMAZING !!!! I love them... If you knew how long I've been looking for a recipe it would make you dizzy.....
@@2guysandacooler Thanks sooooo much..... It's appreciated like you can't imagine...
Great stuff man. I really gotta start saving up for some equipment.
You know what. It makes the experience so much nicer!!
Very good job man
Watching all of your videos from Brazil. Love charcuterie so much
I love the homemade hotdogs you guys did and like Hebew Nationals slogan they answer to a high authority amen.
GREAT VID!!! Thank you!
Good content man
I bookmarked your site, and as soon as I can afford the new tools (mine were stolen a while back) I'll buy through your affiliate links. Hebrew national is pretty much the only real hot dog company left. Everyone else may as well change their hot dog names to "tannery floor scrapings".
Thanks for this I can still enjoy one of my favorite food 😊
Thank you!
awesome, great vid.
Excellent!
👀‘s excellent my friend
Wow. Amazing
Amazing that we can make hot dogs now, thanks to your recipe!
Very good
And by the way thanks for educating me about making sausage 👍
It's very nice
Used this recipe yesterday with elk and pork belly - turned out fabulous. Thank you for sharing.
awesome!
I've been wanting to make these but I don't have a bowl cutter. Thanks for the video!
Lol no one has a bowl cutter Use a grinder. That’s all you need to grind
Impressive!
Thanks a lot for another excellent video. Any sugestion to try to replicate the flavor of the Costco (Kirkland) hot dogs? Thanks in advance for any pointers you could provide.
Hi from Oz. Thanks for the videos some great recipes here. I am going to try this recipe with sheep casings tomorrow and probably will use pork. Interestingly enough Costco in Australia uses 100% pork for their hotdogs as opposed to beef as in the USA. I will Sous Vide am assuming you cook the entire batch and freeze what you don’t wish to use?
oh man....watching from South Africa .......going to try this....must just go buy meat, fat, a grinder, a sausage press, a boiler, casings and spices.....
Nice job Eric! This look fabulous. How close are they in flavor to HN?
They were close. Not a perfect replica but pretty darn close!!
Eric, when using cure #1 do you refrigerate overnight before cooking? Will the sausage turn gray if I boil if I don't refrigerate? Thanks
What attachment was on your mixer? Thanks for all of your great videos!
That was the paddle attachment..
Mesmerizing. I have neither the ingredients nor will to make em on my own, but your vid has sealed( no pun intended..:) my desire to eat beef ONLY hot dogs!
Looks like the "real thing"... Wow... I'll get to it myself....a jumbo foot long would be a great hot dog for me to do... Thanks a lot. 💯
Excellent video and clear explanation, thank you very much. I wish everyone who teaches cooking can be as precise as you, im greatfull. And my last question ,if i cant find cellulose casing ,can i use natural sheep casing?and if it is cooked in warm water as you did, do you thing it will be easily peeled of or it bonds with the meat so it wont be easily peeled off?
Thank you. You can use sheep casing but with sheep casing you would eat it (it is very tender). The casing would stick to the meat.
Your channel is awesome.
Making sausage is some classy shit.
Perfect .... Wow...
My first attempt at this following your recipe and process. Turned out amazing. The only change I will make in the next attempt is to reduce the salt percentage from 1.6%% to 1.5%. But thank you for this and your other fantastic videos. I also used 24-26 sheep casings, and instead of simmering/sous-vide-ing (is sou-vide-ing even a word? :), I just slow fried them. They were plump and juicy and very flavourful... even though slightly salty for my palate. Hence the reduction in the next attempt.
it's "sous-vide". And yes... it's a real thing.
@@briankillian5248 - I know. I was just wondering aloud if sous-vide-ing was a word. :p
Oh! LOL
perfect! I love the all beef recipes!! lol keeping it Kosher!
You are going to love my next salami!!!!
@@2guysandacooler hey its that type of party!!! Kosher i meant lol
nice
Is that a 1/2" stuffing funnel you are using? I have the plastic 1/2" funnel and it has a slite tapper and I cant get those casing to just slide on like you did. Maybe yours are metric 10 or 12 mm. Just looking for the right size for the casings. Tried this recipy with pork today going to smoke it in the morning got them in the frig now. Thanks for sharing.
Did a batch just after you released this recipe, delicious, didn't go far enough for the farce (lesson for next time) so they had a bit of a crumbly texture, which was still delicious and the texture was a nice twist. Did not like the cellulose casings, so next time I think I may try some with lamb casings, some with collagen, and a few with hog casings to see what I prefer. I do strongly vouch for the flavor blend in the recipe folks delicious!
You did remove the casing, didn't you? Not trying to be smart, I've made some bones too
@@MrDmorgan52 yes, after I ice bathed em. Made friends with a Hobart rep and he's looking for a small buffalo chopper for me, main issue for the texture I got was not enough hydration and undermixing in the stand mixer. (Was new and not mine, didn't want to kill it)
Making some Australian style "snags" today. Beef and lamb mixture. Should be interesting.
OHHHHH. How did they turn out?
Can you use the sous vide the hot dogs if they have sheep casings?
Hello,
I'm planning to start a small scale sausage production business. I just learnt how to make beef sausages - thank you. However, my questions are: I) how to preserve the sausages for longer period? II) does the same method apply to casing like stuffing the meat in the animal intestine?
Hello there love the channel question can I make a hotdog without the cure other words? Can I grind the meat mixed the seasonings cook it with a slow simmer to get to the temperature and then freeze it is that a problem
thats totally fine
I really enjoy your presentations very much. I wanted to share with you a technique when linking hot dogs or sausage links. Measure and twist the first link, then skip the second one and link the third one. By skipping every other link, you can always link in the same direction.
Here's what's crazy. Under normal circumstances I'd agree with you. Natural sheep or hog casings have a "memory" to them. Cellulose casings have a mind of their own. If you have a cool hack for cellulose casings I'd love to hear it. I'm always having them unwind and it gets incredibly annoying....
Man; You are a legend ! Thank you
Love your channel! Great video, but i must add that HN hotdogs are full of garlic which I think makes them more like sausages then hotdogs. Personally I prefer natural skins that snap when you bite into them; Boarshead is the only packaged hotdog that offers them as far as I know.
Try Feltman's. They produce both natural casings and skinless hot dogs. They're more expensive but you'll never want to eat Boarshead again.
there's a hotdog out of Michigan called koegels that has a natural casing. it's an important part of the Flint Coney.
Could a dash off liquid smoke be added, if a smoky taste is desired and if so how much would you recommend?
Were can i buy the casings for the hot dog? I live in Canada.
Hi Eric,
Am I loosing it, or has this recipe changed sometime in the last couple of years. I made these back in 2020 and the recipe that I copied was different. Mainly, water went from about 100ml/kg to 250ml/kg. Somewhat less salt and black pepper changed to white pepper. Tell me if I'm nuts.
Like it. If talking about " 135" cel or far? Please be specific. Thanks. Fourways. Sandton. South Africa
I would like to watch prosciutto series from you guys.
Done deal!! That's a long term project! Are you in it for the long haul?😁😁
Just to let you know I started the process of making prosciutto today. It'll be ready this time next year!!
Do you need to Vacumn pack the links or can you just put the casings in the Sous vide?
So Eric it looks like the only differences is a little different in the texture by not using a food processor or Robo Coupe I made hotdogs a few months back and use my food processor and the texture didn’t look any different than you using the stand mixer with the paddle attachment
Exactly!! The texture is a little smoother and fluffier when its emulsified.
I just finished this recipe and love the taste. The color is a bit off more of a gray tone with the traditional color inside being pink. The meat I used had been previously frozen and I did not have beef fat on hand so I used a bit of pork back fat. I did use Cure #1 to preserve the color. Is this typical should I add a bit of food color for a brighter finish.
Did you let it rest overnight in the fridge before cooking?
@@2guysandacooler Yes I stuffed then put in frig.
how do you measure internal temp for hotdogs? just poke them after the cook and hope for the best?
👍👍😂😂thanks for the vid.
How about a Sabrett's hotdog, with natural casings? Please:)
Nice hotdog recipe
Can I omit the instacure #1? I am trying to stay away from nitrites. Can I got smoke instead of boiling? Thanks and keep up the great work. I love the Chanel.
if you smoke at high temps to cook yes, you can omit cure #1. If you smoke at low temps you must add it in..
@@2guysandacooler is 180f considered low smoking temp?
no. That's good to cook without nitrites
Just started making sausage & have enjoyed your videos. I have two questions to making the hot dogs. 1. Can I just use Non-Fat Milk Powder instead of Potato Starch? 2. The website ingredient calculator has the "water" at 25%. Is this correct? Thank you.
That is correct. You can add 15% - 25% liquid in these types of sausage
I just watched this we're you using less salt than you find in a brand name hot dog ?
What was the purpose of simmering them in water is it a mandatory step or can be skipped ?
@2guys&cooler please can you tell me where you bought that electric sausage stuffer?thanks
Sure. I got it from the Sausage Maker: www.sausagemaker.com/sausage-stuffing-equipment-s/1934.htm&Click=108419 If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see the different sizes that they have. The one I have is 25 pounds
Wouldnt a commercial blender with water be a better grind?
Morris Chestnut: How making to National Herbew with Beef Hot Dogs?
Wonderful stuff. One quick question though. Do these sausages have the 'snap' after biting them?
the snap comes from the casing. These sausages have the casing removed so they are super tender but no snap. If you want a snap then use sheep casings. Very snappy!!
@@2guysandacooler lovely, thanks a big one
I can’t find the recipe for the franks , I want to make it but no can find.
Thanks anyhow looks great.
Ho acompanyalf. I'll have it online in a few hours. I just got back home 😁
@@2guysandacooler looking forward to it ,thank you

I have a question. Since hot dogs usually contain nitrates or other kinds of additives to preserve them, do these need different storage / handling?
the insta cure in the recipe is a preservative and contains sodium nitrate.
can you make this by only using a food processor?(really good one)
yes. Check out my frankfurter video.... ua-cam.com/video/pqg7JlN6oN4/v-deo.html
Eric I have a couple questions. I "just" finished casing up several pounds of your frankfurter recipe, only I'm using the casings you did here. 1) Can I vac pack and simmer for a couple hours, trying to keep the temp around 135?
2) If I can't get to them tonight or tomorrow, will they be fine in the fridge for 48 hours, or should I get right on it?
Thanks in advance!
Yes and yes. For this small diameter an hour is sufficient. After you cook them you can refrigerate a few days or freeze them..
@@2guysandacooler Thank you! They're 24mm

Hi,
God Bless you, and thanks. You guys might think everyone knows how to make hotdogs, and maybe thats mostly true. However, at 73 years of age now, I never knew before you.
LOVE,

Thank you for your comment. It made me smile😁
Hello Eric. I have some 26mm Cellulose Hot Dog Casings arriving today, and I'm going to give this recipe a shot.
I don't have a Sous Vide cooker, but do have a vac pack machine.
*QUESTION:* Can I simply cook them at 135 in a large pot of water on my electric stove, or do you suggest I hang them in my smoker? (I'm not sure if cellulose casings can even absorb smoke)
You can cook in a pot at 135. What I would do and it's a lot faster too is cook at 175f for 26 minutes.
@@2guysandacooler Thanks Eric! I got my casings from Walton's today, and the fragile ones were packed on the outside of the soft packing material, near the side of the box. All were broken into pieces.
I'm so angry with them I could SPIT NAILS!
I paid for 'expedited' and they not only took 7 days via ups, but the the way they packed them almost INSURED breakage would happen.
@@oregonpatriot1570 oh no . That's no good. Hopefully they are a stand up company and will do the right thing..
Hey! So I tried making them today. Everything was fine until the simmering water part. I tried the simmering water approach land they turned from nice and red to grey. I let them cook off before removing the casing and one broke so I said lemme try one since I can’t use it. Very bland flavor. Where did I go wrong?
Hi i had the same problem as you, did you fix it or you are still waiting to resolve this issue? Thanks
That hot dog bun looks incredible. I live in a major U.S. city and I’ve never seen anything like that in any grocery stores. Did you buy the buns at a bakery?
I actually made those. I was going to include the process in this video but it got to long so I decided to just save the footage for the next video. How to make Chicago Italian Beef!!
@@2guysandacooler
Thanks. I can’t wait for that video. I make killer chili cheese dogs and the weakest link has always been the bun.
@@2guysandacooler
I always assume that the videos that UA-cam recommends to me are new, but I just realized that your video with this incredible hot dog bun is six months old. You replied that you would include information on the process to make these buns in the next video. Did you mean an upcoming video or a video months ago right after the Hebrew National video? I searched your channel for a Chicago Italian beef recipe and I can’t find anything.
That project will most likely be towards the end of the year or in January.
@@2guysandacooler Can't wait for that video. You are the man!
Thank you!❤❤❤🌭🌭🌭😁😎
I've worked for shnieders back in the day. The goop they used looked like cotton candy
i cannot find these casings anywhere have they been discontinued?
hello and how are you, in your video what size batch did you make ?? was it larger than 2.2lb on your recipe.
Thanks
I can't remember. More than likely it was 5 pounds (2270g) or so
@@2guysandacooler sounds good i will adjust the recipe , cant wait to try it!! enjoy and thanks.
