The Slam Technique

[carnie1]

Watched these Italian videos the other night all the way thru, didn't understand a word but took a small clip of this technique ,This was done after they mixed the spices in,  only thing I can think of is to get rid of any air pockets, Anybody got any ideas?, for those who want to watch the whole thing I have posted both links

That would be my guess as well to compress the meat and get rid of air pockets

X2.  A lady I knew who made her family's bread daily used the slamming technique while kneading the dough, to eliminate the air pockets in the baked loaves.

I thought it might have been a pig they didn't like and just taking another crack at him ;) I did like the second video. The guy tying the sausages knew what he was doing. I wished they had shown the finished product. I would like to see them sliced.

I love the garlic press -- a hammer and a towel.
