sausage stuffer to squeeze honeycomb?

[Sarepta bees]

Anyone ever tried to squeeze honeycomb with a sausage stuffer? I can't see why it won't work, especially if honey is warm, any thoughts, Thanks, Mike

Sounds like a good idea for crush and strain to me!

[Sarepta bees]

Thats what I'm thinking, put some cheeze cloth in the botton to strain, get your honey warm and it should flow out the spout!

Its a shame i didn't think of that, or my press for making wine. Don't tell my wife , she used her hands

I hope you dedicate a new sausage stuffer to comb squeezing! I try to be real careful when I clean my verticle stuffer but I can always find a bit of missed grease on it somewhere. I do wonder how the honey would be affected if you picked up a bit of Listeria or E Coli from the stuffer?

[BeeGhost]

Probably effected about as much as your next round of sausage. I'd have to say that even in the most cleanliest environments you will find bacteria growing. If you don't think this is true, then I would refrain from eating out anywhere except your own kitchen where atleast it's your bacteria.

The difference being that the sausage I make with the stuffer is either brought to safe internal temperature or has been cured with Sodium Nitrite.

What is your plan for cleaning the sausage stuffer?

I just let my dogs and cats lick them clean.

I'm not sure Ace will approve of this.

Why, it is what I do for all our dishes ... I call it the lick cycle prior to the dishwasher. I don't know if all sausage stuffers can go through the dishwasher though. Mine can't.

So.... to re-ask your own question, "how do you clean it"? We must know...

Is water or soap involved, and possibly a sink?
