This is for the open division so we can do anything. Any meat, fruit, veg, anything. Just as long as it's really good and grabs the attention of the judges. But I have to run the stand so it needs to be simple.

Can you use booze and make an spirited apple raisin filling that is marinated and/or used for a sauce?

Something like a hard cider edge to it....sounds BBQ.

My first inclination would be to butterfly and roll, it gives you the layered effect. For apple, I'd probably not use a commercial canned sauce, but a home made cooked chunky very thick sauce, and just par cooked so the apples finish in the roast. Sort of like a strudel, but savory.

Is the competition broken up into catagories?

I usually stuff pork the Italian way...and I bet there's no catagory for that.

What if I filled a pork loin full of home made apple sauce?

I assume you all have figured out I'm looking for something for a BBQ contest coming up in two weeks. LOL

I'd love to roam around their store (Fantes), bet there's a lot of stuff in there that's not on the web site. I always try Fantes first when looking for something unusual.

Fantes carries a lot of different corers, for large sharp cut you might try a cauliflower corer.

http://www.fantes.com/corers.html You might be able to core meats with a non serrated good sharp corer, perhaps cool the meat just above freezing to firm it up.

Yes the semi frozen is a must your right, but the cauliflower corer is to short for a pork tenderloin at 4.4" long. But they do have some neat tools thanks for the link. Very Cool. I love olives stuffed with Blue Cheese. God they are so good.lol

That looks like it will go right through! Here's a "fatty piston" thing that might be good for stuffing...

That might help thanks. I got ninth place at the American Royal with a potato I did this way. And 9th out of 560 teams is not bad. I stuffed it with hot breakfast sausage and the flavor from the sausage just runs into every pore of the potato. They look like donuts with out a hole, when you slice them but the center is sausage. I never thought of it before but I could inject butter into a potato before it's baked with my injector system. LOL

Well hell I'll try a wood spade.

Re:A new kind of sandwich? Only at the state fair (CCinNJ)

The edges would get caught in the meat and stick instead of punch through. Maybe a few metal skewers or larding needles punched through and revolve around in circles to create a core.

So can I buy one of these and punch a hole through a pork tenderloin?

That model is 1-1/8 " diameter

Re:A new kind of sandwich? Only at the state fair (RodBangkok)

Mon, 13 Aug 2012 06:36:26 GMT

The ones we have are similar to your top link, but the link does not state the diameter, it should be at least 1 inch dia.

This one looks pretty good...

I have a different kind of pineapple corer that wouldn't work for this...but it earns keep by being the donut cutter....

If you buy one, make sure its serrated versus a straight cut.

Re:A new kind of sandwich? Only at the state fair (CCinNJ)

A pineapple corer is a great idea!

I was thinking of a cannoli form (tube) for the filling with the plunger from a cookie press...instead of or to assist the wax paper part of the Beli system.

I like the idea of the toasted middle...for some reason. I guess it depends on the filling. It could also be shaved and toasted in butter on the outside...like a New England-style roll.

We use a pineapple corer something like this:

Use a hard italian roll and put a sausage in them, we do the hole all the way thru, but I'm sure you could figure a way to get the bread from a blind hole still just using a corer. Not really interested in making one toasted on the inside, rather have a standard built sandwich with a nice crunch on the outside from a good italian roll.

If I can find the right safe irons I can make some (they need a cute name) at home. Here's the iron oven...

Here's a video of the core/toast function of the machine that's not from Beli...

There's a food truck here called "Beli". They do the same thing and actually patented the process. They say it's the only patented sandwich. The weird thing is, they never go out. The truck just sits there at my old commissary, plugged in all year.
I think they patented the sandwich just so they can sue other places like this. LOL

I've seen the same concept as the puka dog in either Germany or the Netherlands... I can't remember which. The buca folks are making a larger hole however, and more variety of product. That's a fresh twist that I think will go over pretty well in that environment. My son-in-law is at the ISF doing really well in his BBQ trailer.

Those things remind me of my straightening iron. That gets hot enough to toast anything....if I'm not careful.
