Sausage FAQ

What does batch base weight mean?

It is the combined lean-meat and fat weight. Fat partitions that base, while salt and seasonings are additional percentages of it.

Can I create a custom seasoning blend?

Yes. Add, rename, edit, or remove seasoning rows without changing the lean and fat calculation model.
