Cooking Instructions
SMOKEHOUSE MEATS

What to do…Our products are cured and smoked allowing us to safely ship them to you without refrigeration.  For optimum shelf life, refrigerate as soon as possible after delivery.  If you will not be serving the product within a week, it should be placed in the freezer.  We think most of our ready to eat smoked meats taste best when served at room temperature; however, they may be heated after wrapping them in foil.  All stuffed meat items must be heated before serving.  Use the quick reference chart below for heating time:

SET OVEN AT 300 DEGREES

30 Min to 1 Hour:
Chicken and Duck  ~  Stuffed Quail  ~  Stuffed Pork Tenderloin  ~Stuffed Beef Tenderloin  ~  Herbed Beef Tenderloin

10 Minutes per Pound:
Turkey  ~  Turkey Breast  ~  Smoked Ham  ~  Boneless Ham

Brisket 15-20 Minutes
Ribs 30-45 Minutes
Pork Loin 20 Minutes per pound

To retain moisture and smokehouse flavor, do not overheat.  Best at room temperature.  Peppered Pork Tenderloin and Summer Sausage are terrific for serving as appetizers or hors d’oeuvres.  Just combine our smoked delicacies with crackers, cheese and even hot mustard for a tasty combination.

The following products require cooking:
Smoked Bacon – can be fried, broiled or microwaved to desired crispness.
Smoked Sausage – may be fried, broiled, grilled or steamed.
