Ives-Way Automatic Can Sealer - Instructions for Fish Cans

The tables below show the chuck size, number of spacers and the position of the seaming roller screws for various sizes of cans. If the chuck must be replaced, first remove the existing chuck.

Then reposition the seaming roller screws, but do not tighten yet. Loosen the thumb screws and slide the 3-hole nuts out as far as they will go. Tighten the seaming roller screws by hand only, then install the correct size chuck. Adjust seaming rollers.

The Practical Guide to Making Salami

The Practical Guide to Making Salami is a companion book to The Art of Making Fermented Sausages, published in 2008. Since then, more information has become available; safety standards have been updated and tightened, new cultures have appeared, and getting supplies and newer equipment online has become more accessible. The most relevant theory has been transferred from The Art of Making Fermented Sausages. Still, The Practical Guide to Making Salami includes plenty of new materials such as fermented spreadable sausages, acidified sausages, or combining acidulants with natural fermentation. The recipes section has been expanded and includes 264 selected recipes from different countries so the reader can immediately produce sausages.
