  7. Charcuterie Sausage & Forcemeats Charcuterie- Taken from the term Cuiseur de chair; meaning “cooker of meat” Forcemeat is a preparation from uncooked meats, fish or shellfish, seasoned, and then emulsified with fat.

  10. Salt Multipliers Salt Multipliers are used to determine the amounts of salt needed for different preparations • Pâté spices .1 • Fresh sausage meat .35 • Pate or terrine forcemeat .4 • Curing Salt/TCM (Sodium Nitrate) .04 Multiply the lbs.. of meat times the multiplier to get the amount of seasoning/salt in ounces 10 lbs. of meat X .35 = 3.5 oz. of salt.
