Ok now the KA mixer question. Paddle or Hook? You decide, I know which one i like ;D

Notice how the paddle keeps the meat clumped in a ball :-\ yuck

Now look at the hook. Clear to me which is best.

All mixed with the hook.

Looking at your results I may try the dough hook, though I get better results then you had when you used the paddle. Looks like you got a good primary bind. How long did you have to mix it for?

I went for 2 mins on the mix.

Hanging now before smoke.
