In 2021 I turned 7.5 pounds of pork roast into canned seasoned pork with the idea that I could heat it, drain off the juice and wrap it in a tortilla. They were tasty. Today I used the last of them. But I wanted to test out making tortillas with a different flour than I normally use so as a backup I made rice. Tortillas have some scratch made chili powder for color and flavor. Rice is turkey stock instead of water. I think I like this better because I get to keep all the juice.
You have a woodworking bench in your kitchen?
Cheapest kitchen island available. Hardwood for under $200. Four wide drawers, plenty of empty space on the under shelf, peg posts and holes for baking sheets and cutting board storage at one end, and it comes with a vice for shaving prosciutto.
Doesn’t everyone use a woodworking bench in their kitchen?
It’s actually got me thinking. I was going to stick with stainless for butchering game on, but that would work too.
Definitely cheaper. I’ve done countless birds on this thing. Not sure what you are butchering but this is a little narrow so I wouldn’t want to do anything bigger than a goose. Then again Harbor Freight has them so cheap you could get two for $400 and put them next to each other. Just don’t install the vice on one or both of them.
Definitely quieter than stainless tables.
Well, if I have a deer, I usually bone them out on the hook. Moose or elk, I usually do the primals and steak them on the bandsaw and then work on them inside. So a 24x48 surface works fine.
Don’t have a Harbour Freight here but I might see what I can find from our usual suspects.
Thanks for the idea.
