Aussie Meat Trends

The flavor’s in the bag, baby

 Permanent link   All Posts
Gerard SV

 While many trendy preparations from the heyday of molecular gastronomy were left behind (more sea bean gastrique-foam anyone?), the undeniable advantages to cooking sous vide make the technique a mainstay in modern kitchens. As it’s a great match for both True Aussie Lamb and Grassfed Beef, we chatted up a few of our favorite chefs about cooking “in a vacuum.”

What are some of your favorite preparations using sous vide with Aussie lamb?
“One of my favorites is an Aussie lamb shank that we do with chipotle and spices. All of that flavor just gets concentrated through sous vide; it’s fall-off-the-bone tender, and makes for really easy service.”
– Four Seasons Miami Executive Chef Aaron Brooks

“We’ve had an Australian rack of lamb on our menu that we cook sous vide from a raw state to 130° with butter and aromatic herbs, then season and sear quickly on the grill for service. We keep the flavoring simple, letting that pure, natural, pastured lamb flavor shine through. A number of guests have told us they usually don’t like lamb, but they love ours!”
– Root & Bone NYC Chef de Cuisine Janine Booth

“I like to use sous vide with lamb shoulder, seasoned with a little cumin, coriander, brown sugar and mint. You can cook it to a perfectly pink medium for as long as 72 hours! It acts like a super-charged marination process, and breaks down the collagen into melt-in-your-mouth goodness.”
– True Aussie Beef & Lamb Chef Adam Moore

Chef Adam’s Sous Vide Tips
• You don’t need as much seasoning or stock to add flavor in sous vide – a little goes a long way when it’s all in the bag!
• Finish steaks or loins quickly on a hot grill or a sauté pan to get those Maillard reactions and caramelization
• Brown short ribs, shoulders and other long-cooking cuts before sealing up in the bag
• Wrap herbs in an open-ended tube of food-grade plastic wrap like a cigar or blunt before bagging to keep from getting herb hot-spots

What are the advantages for using sous vide with True Aussie grassfed beef and lamb in particular?
“The right sous vide technique with Australian grassfed beef will break down the collagen and connective tissue, giving you ideal tenderness while keeping the rich natural beef flavor. With Australian lamb, the flavors are mild and delicate, and sous vide helps protect and concentrate them.”
– Cuisine Solutions Chef, Chief Strategy Officer Gerard Bertholon

“One of the most common mistakes with leaner meats like grassfed beef and lamb is overcooking, especially in high-volume situations like hotel banquets. Sous vide allows you to cook meats to a precise internal temperature that’s consistent edge-to-edge, and then be held for a few hours until it’s time for service, without the possibility of overcooking. Then at service time you can just give it a quick sear and go.”
– True Aussie Beef & Lamb Chef Adam Moore

    2016 Ford Fusion Energi - SE Luxury

    I have 13,000 miles and have had no problems. It's a solid well-built, well engineered car. Yes, the trunk is small. I've learned to pare down to the basic essentials. And you can fit two large suitcases on their sides... but don't plan on much more. My Ford dealer is right beside my gym, so every day I get a fast charge that keeps my mileage well above average - 136 mph. I owned a 2016 Honda Accord that gave 38 mpg; but, the front seat legroom was tiny. The Fusion is MUCH roomier.

Vettel's Red Bull Racing F1 car heads for ROC 2012
Newly-crowned triple Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel will provide a thrill for fans in Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium as one of his victorious Red Bull Racing F1 cars headlines the array of shows at ROC 2012 on December 14-16.

Vettel became the youngest man in history to win three F1 world championships in Sunday’s incident-packed Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite suffering an early spin and being sent to the back of the field, the German staged a great recovery in the rain to sixth place, enough to pip title rival Fernando Alonso by just three points.

Now fans attending next month’s Race Of Champions can sample Formula 1's noise and spectacle from as close as it gets as Vettel shows off the mighty Red Bull Racing RB7 that powered him to the second of his three titles.

ROC race organizer Fredrik Johnsson said: “Congratulations to Sebastian for taking his third Formula 1 world championship in one of the most dramatic finales ever seen in the sport. Now our Bangkok audience can watch Seb’s Red Bull Racing car, hear the deafening noise from its engine and even smell the smoke from its tires.”

Another reigning world champion who will be performing in front of the lucky crowd will be 2012 MotoGP king Jorge Lorenzo, who will parade his Yamaha bike. Fans of classic machinery will also get to see 1984 world rally champion Stig Blomqvist take the Audi S1 Group B rally car for a spin.

Chris Pfeiffer Streetbike Freestyle Rider - four-time world stunt riding champion - will provide his own brand of two-wheeled stunts as he returns with his daredevil moves. And there will even be a world record attempt as stunt driver and ROC regular Terry Grant aims to set a new mark for the most consecutive donuts while standing on the roof of his car. To ensure there is never a break in the action there will also be DJs, cheerleaders and much more.

“We always treat our crowds to a non-stop feast of entertainment and this year is no exception,” added Johnsson. “Alongside the reigning world champions on both two wheels and four, Chris Pfeiffer and Terry Grant will show just what can be achieved when you don’t bother to keep all those wheels on the ground. We guarantee action, spectacle and noise galore – and that’s not even to mention the main event.”

The shows all support the Race Of Champions, which is being staged for the 25th consecutive year in 2012. The competition brings together the world’s greatest drivers from motor sport’s main disciplines – including Formula 1, world rally, touring cars, Le Mans, MotoGP, IndyCar and the X-Games – and sets them free to battle head-to-head in identical machinery.

ROC 2012 will take place on a specially constructed tarmac track with two parallel lanes winding their way round Bangkok’s Rajamangala Stadium. Drivers pair up for the ROC Nations Cup, this year scheduled for Saturday 15 December, ahead of the individual Race Of Champions on Sunday 16 December.

Tickets are now on sale. For further information and access to hi-res imagery please visit www.raceofchampions.com. Sign up for all the latest updates at www.raceofchampions.com, @raceofchampions on Twitter or Race Of Champions on Facebook.

Drivers confirmed for the 2012 Race Of Champions so far:

  • Sebastian VETTEL, Red Bull Racing, Formula 1 World Champion 2012, 2011, 2010
  • Michael SCHUMACHER, seven-time Formula 1 World Champion
  • Jorge LORENZO, MotoGP World Champion 2012, 2010
  • Mick DOOHAN, five-time 500cc MotoGP World Champion
  • Ryan HUNTER-REAY, IndyCar Series Champion 2012

Hey Mike: just a short note to thank you again for calibrating the audio set-up of my H.T. the other day. I can honestly say that I am now hearing sounds coming from those speakers that up 'til now remained hidden from any listening enjoyment. Even our dog now turns her head towards whichever speaker is displaying animal sounds from the DVDs!

Thanks again. Another calibration worth every penny!

By Harry Tamrazian in Prague
John Ordway, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Armenia, has been nominated by President George W. Bush to head the U.S. mission in Kazakhstan later this year, the White House said on Thursday.

A White House statement did not name Ordway’s likely successor in Yerevan. Officials in the U.S. embassy in the Armenian capital said his replacement is expected to be announced within a week.

Some Armenian media have speculated that America’s envoy to neighboring Georgia, Richard Miles, will likely fill the vacancy. The U.S. embassy in Tbilisi would not confirm or refute this. An official there told RFE/RL that Miles’s term in office expires in 2005, but added that theoretically Bush can post him to another country before that time.

Miles had already worked as U.S. ambassador to Azerbaijan from 1992-93.

Ordway, who is also a career diplomat, has held his current post since November 2001 and had previously been the number two figure at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, one of Washington’s most important diplomatic missions abroad. He is the fourth American ambassador to have served in Armenia since its independence. His candidacy needs the approval of the U.S. Senate.

Meanwhile, a senior U.S. State Department official met with Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Ruben Shugarian in Yerevan on Friday. An Armenian Foreign Ministry statement said Shugarian and John Fox, director of the department’s Caucasus and Central Asia desk, discussed the situation in the South Caucasus, notably “prospects for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”

America’s and Armenia’s relations with “countries adjacent to the region” were also on the agenda, the statement said. No further details were reported.

Young Lawyer Divisions Bring Smiles to Disadvantaged Children

By Alberto Rodriguez
December 21, 2010

Attorneys from the Young Lawyers Divisions in Maricopa and Pima Counties brought smiles to nearly 400 disadvantaged children at their annual holiday parties held in Phoenix and Tucson.

In Phoenix, the Maricopa County Young Lawyers Division hosted 100 children at Peter Piper Pizza on Saturday, December 11, 2010. The children from the Sunshine Group Home received two movie vouchers as well as tokens for the arcade games and activities. And of course, pizza. Lots of pizza!

In Tucson, the Pima County Young Lawyers Division hosted nearly 300 children at Pump It Up on Friday, December 17, 2010. The children from St. Nicholas of Myra Adoption Center romped on the inflatables, ate delicious food and received gifts at the holiday party.

Both the Young Lawyer Divisions host the parties to provide a fun-filled holiday escape for disadvantaged children that come from unsafe home environments. Both St. Nick's and the Sunshine Group Home provide safe havens for children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned.

Eat & Play with Kellogg’s

You’ve hit the snooze button a little too many times and now you’re late, so you jump off the bed only to step in something wet & sticky. You turn around and there is a hungry child waiting on you, all while the dog is waking up the entire neighborhood begging to go outside. Sound familiar? Mornings can be rough. Sometimes it seems impossible to get your mornings off to the right start. No matter how much we try, some days are just better than others. But it’s important to try to get your mornings off to a great start. It plays a big role in your day’s productivity level, and how the rest of the day will go.

For me, starting my day off right means getting some “alone time” with a cup of coffee, and the morning news. Even if it’s just for a few minutes. It gives me that time to set and relax before the day gets started. When it comes to breakfast, Arianna and I share a love of cereals, so we make sure to take some time and eat together. One of our favorites being Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats. I grew up on them, and now I get to pass on the tradition on to her. We sit down and enjoy our bowl of cereal and chat, or most recently have a little fun with an Eat 'N' Play placement, thanks to Team Kellogg’s. It’s a great opportunity to bond with her and also start the day off with a little fun and activity. Its little moments like this really that make a great start to my day!

What makes a great start to YOUR day?

She lost her father when she was 11 and decided that she wanted to help others handle the pain of loss.

Britax Advocate Clicktight Review – How Safe Is This Car Seat? And Is It Worth The Price?

Nothing is more important for parents than the safety and comfort of their child. And there is no time when both of these are threatened more than when riding in an automobile. For this reason, parents seem always on the hunt for that perfect car seat which combines superior safety features and comfort. It’s no use when your child is safe but screaming because he or she is miserable. And what’s the point of comfort if their safety is at risk? You need both.

Birth story: My 32-minute labor

One fine spring morning, heavily pregnant with baby #7, I got up to pee and noticed after a few moments that I was having contractions.

Not sure if this was the “real thing” or not, I crawled back into bed (time: 6:58 AM) and said to my DH, “Honey, I think I am in labor, but I am not 100% sure. I think I am just going to get in the shower, and we can head off to the hospital afterwards, should that become necessary.”

How to play with your newborn

Playing with your newborn is great for his brain development! It’s also a fun way for everyone–brothers, sisters, grandparents–to bond with him (especially if you are exclusively breastfeeding and they can’t help out on the feeding front 🙂 ).

TIP: Your baby does not see too well yet, but you can take him on a “touching tour” of the world around him. Take his hand and let him feel all of the different textures out there: the smoothness of the window pane, the fuzziness of a stuffed animal, the roughness of the throw-rug, the coldness of the outside of your drinking glass. You can almost see the wheels turning in his mind…..

Perfect postions for pushing

These are great positions for pushing your baby out, regardless of whether you have had an epidural or not.

IMPORTANT: Just because you are fully dilated does not mean you should start pushing. In fact, pushing too early can be exhausting and even counter-productive. So unless your doctor or midwife is telling you otherwise, wait until your baby has descended through your pelvis and you feel the urge to push*. Until that point, take a break and let your body do the work for you!

*You may not feel the urge to push if you have had an epidural. If that is the case, wait to start pushing until your baby has come down.

Have you signed up for a basic first aid class? If not, now’s the time!

But until the class begins, this short video explains the basics of infant CPR.

And you’ve heard it before, but it bears repeating: NEVER leave a young child alone in or near a bath or a swimming pool–not even to answer the phone, check the pot you left simmering on the stove, or to go to the bathroom. Even though it is a pain, PLEASE take your baby with you if there is nobody else around to keep an eye on her. All it takes for her to drown is a few minutes under enough water to cover her nose and mouth.

The SUCCESS System That Absolutely Guarantees You'll Pick the Right Baby Toy... Every Time!

The SUCCESS System for Selecting the Right Baby Toy

One of the things that the majority of parents find most challenging about ensuring the best for their child is picking the best baby toy anytime they go to a store.

What make this decision making process so difficult is the lack of general toy buying guidelines, inexperienced sales personnel and too wide a selection in most stores.

Parents normally end up buying either the latest gimmick or one which the smooth-talking sales person feels strongly about.

Many times they end up wasting money on a toy that gives little or no real enjoyment or development stimulation.

I have a simple seven-step formula that I use for picking great baby toys in any shop or store.

This formula allows you to easily choose the right toy for your baby, regardless of what's available.

This formula is...

The SUCCESS Baby Toy Selection System

Each letter (S-U-C-C-E-S-S) stands for one of the seven steps in the system.

Let's put each of these 7 SUCCESS System steps into action so you can anytime pick the best toy for your baby.

S - SOUND and music is a very important stimulation source for developing baby senses. Always try to buy a toy able to make a sound or even play some tune or music. This is especially important when picking something for 0-3 month olds.

U - USEFULNESS or play value. It's a good idea to look for toys that'll give pleasure while still providing the needed baby stimulation. What this means is looking for toys encouraging babies to DO something... thus promoting some form of activity. Too often parents like "passive" toys where their child is merely a bored onlooker.

C - COLORS must be bright and bold for best effect. Child development experts agree that development of visual awareness is crucial for even the youngest infant. Black and white plush toys or even other high-contrast color combinations attract the attention of infants. Which helps them to focus on objects and eventually see and distinguish at greater distances.

C - CLASS and quality of any baby toy is essential. Experience shows that high quality toys are durable and last for many years. The best "rule of thumb" is to stick to the well-known brand names. Obviously, do not ignore lesser known brands right away.

E - ECONOMICAL and easy on the pocket. Many great stimulation "toys" are free. Sometimes it's simply "good enough" to use plastic kitchen utensils and containers. In most cases these everyday things also provide lots of stimulation for any inquisitive and developing mind.

S - SMALL parts should preferably be ignored. At this early stage it's definitely best to keep away from small parts and bits that can easily be swallowed. Most parents will immediately spot a great baby toy, but there are products on the market with too many small parts. Also, be aware of toys with attached parts. Babies somehow just have a natural knack to remove and swallow them.

S - SAFETY is always a prime consideration when buying anything for our infants. Next time when you go shopping, check for the Safety Standard mark. Almost all well-known brand names use non-toxic, baby-safe construction materials. But do check to make sure.

Despite the SUCCESS Selection system's ease of use, it is a consistent sound guideline for anxious parents wanting only the best for their baby.

Most parents have little or no trouble spending money on things for their babies, especially if they know it's the "right" thing to buy.

This baby toy selection system makes any such buying experience just a bit easier and ensures your baby gets more development value for money.

Does not reach for things

My son will be 6 months in 11 days, but does not reach for things. He was 4 weeks early and spent 2 weeks in Intensive Care Unit. I think he is progressing fine, but when I look at him and compare him to others his age, he is DEFINITELY not on their page.

Most other same age kids are reaching for things and bringing them towards them, grasping onto objects with a good degree of control, and maneuvering themselves using any combination of hands, legs, rolls, 1/2 crawls, etc.

My son just stares at toys in front of him, with no desire or ability to reach for them. Anyone else's baby behind in this? I guess the skill would be called 'willful movement.'

Reaching for things
by: Anonymous

Though no expert about preemies, I believe that they do take time to catch up with other babies who are born at full term.

In that sense you should perhaps be looking for developmental milestones that are appropriate for a five month old baby - can your baby stretch out the arms and legs while lying on the stomach and hold up his head without support and so on? Does he take an interest in himself when he looks in the mirror?

If he is not reaching for things it could just be that he is not interested in them right now. If so, he will do so in his own time.

Johannah Elisabeth Elaine vs. Johanna Elisabeth Elise vs. Joanna Elisabeth Elaine

Hi. I am Coralline and my husband Lucien and I have 3 kids named Benedict Kamerone Kayde, Avanna Catharine Cayne, and Andrew Zachariah Zaine and are expecting another girl. We have pretty much decided on the ne but for a few minor differences. We can’t decide if we like Johannah (Jo-Hannah), Johanna (Jo-Hannah or Jo-Anna), or Joanna (Jo-Anna) best for the first name. We like the pronunciation Jo-Hannah a bit more nit are afraid it may be mispronounced. Also does Elisabeth Elaine or Elisabeth Elise sound better as her middle names (this will not change she will Jane 2 middle names) Elisabeth does stay as the first though, spelling as well. Thanks, Cora, Lue, Ben, Ava-Cayne, and Andy Mercer.

Terra in Oklahoma
It's our first child, and she's a girl. Our last name is Watson. I was going for Suzanna Adelle for a while, but grew not to like it. I've also liked the names Skyler Dean and Stormy Kay in the past, but decided against them. Is there any way you can help?
Baby Name Genie:
With names like Skyler and Stormy, I’m seeing a definite meteorological theme here. Not to rain on your parade, but the forecast shows a different name for your daughter. Name her Sadie Joy for a baby girl with a sunny disposition.

EyeSee eye tracking results

Smurfit Kappa has partnered with EyeSee, a technology company, to launch an eye-tracking tool which helps food manufactures look at the impact of their disruptive shelf-ready packaging, which is designed to stand out.

The online tool uses a web cam during the early stages of a company’s market research, to see how disruptive packaging is seen by shoppers on a virtual supermarket shelf. An image is produced to show what packaging shoppers looked at most and the results are highlighted in neon green.

Lout de Goeij, VP marketing and branding, Smurfitt Kappa, told FoodProductionDaily shelf-ready packaging has traditionally been made with only product protection and transportation in mind.

Disruptive packaging is designed to take shoppers outside of their habitual choices by drawing their eye to the product on the shelf with attention-grabbing words or striking colours,” he said.

Results available in a week

Smurfitt Kappa claims the eye-tracking research is used in the early stages of packaging development and design and the results are available in a week, meaning manufacturers can save time and money by knowing what works before the product goes into production.

As it is based online, the tool allows manufactures to gather a large amount of data and can narrow down the results to sub-sections of shoppers.

According to Smurfit Kappa, disruptive shelf-ready packaging is noticed by 76% more shoppers in the first five seconds compared to other competitor products. It showed the packaging is remembered by 79% more shoppers after their shopping trip.

Raised levels of curiosity

Overall levels of curiosity and interest are raised in almost three times as many shoppers as standard packaging.

A redesign of the shelf-ready packaging for a cheese range driven by the insights of this technology resulted in a 40% increase in sales. Similar redesigns for pizza and chocolate saw sales increases of 30% and 10% respectively,” added de Goeij.

Smurfitt Kappa says the tool will let manufacturers change the design and colour of their packaging and see where the product looks best on the shelf.

They can then see if this makes a difference to shoppers before they make the packaging.

Manufacturers can use the tool to view their packaging next to their competitors in 3D on a 2.5 by 4.5m screen.

Olivier Tilleuil, founder, EyeSee, said between 40% and 70% of purchasing decisions are made in-store and 86% of consumers admitted they are ‘switchers’.

 “Pack stand-out has never been more important,” he said.

Getting into the mix

by Shane Whitaker
Share This:

Mixing isn’t magic. Like most steps in baking, it involves science, yet sometimes it benefits from an artistic flourish. Today, bakeries employ a variety of systems to hydrate as well as to knead dry and wet ingredients, forming doughs that can be used to make sundry baked foods and snacks.

Both batch and continuous dough mixers can develop dough to suit bakers’ needs, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) continue to improve their mixers’ capabilities and designs to meet their customers’ requirements. They work to make their mixing equipment safer and easier to clean and maintain. OEMs also look for ways that bakeries can reduce energy usage and mix times. Often, these flexible systems permit bakers and snack manufacturers to frequently expand their product portfolios.

Sealing in sanitation

Reducing sanitation and maintenance time drives many of the advances Shaffer Manufacturing, a Bundy Baking Solutions company, makes in mixing technology, noted Terry Bartsch, vice-president, sales, of the Urbana, OH-based OEM. For example, the company recently focused on improving its bowl and shaft seals. Its new seals reduce the amount of flour dust escaping from the bowl.

“We removed all the sealing components from the underside of the canopy, and they are now mounted to the top of the canopy,” Mr. Bartsch noted. “So we have a very clean underside.”

Another issue bakeries have with older seal designs, he said, is flour collecting along the top ledge of the mixing bowl, and when the bowl is tilted forward to kick out dough, this flour would fall onto the mixed dough. To eliminate this problem, Shaffer uses a flexible material mounted to the bowl. When the bowl moves under the canopy, the bowl seal is under pressure. “As flour is dumped into the bowl, air displacement creates even more pressure and a tighter seal against the canopy,” he added.

Whereas many mixers feature front and back seals from a rubber material that degrades over time and use ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW) on the sides, Shaffer manufactures the front and back seals from UHMW, and the sides seals are a polyurethane material.

AMF Bakery Systems’ tilt and overtilt bowl mixers feature high-quality sealing systems to keep the dough in the bowl and the interior of cabinets clean, according to Bruce Campbell, executive product manager, dough processing technology, for the Richmond, VA-based equipment manufacturer.

Mr. Bartsch pointed out that open-frame horizontal mixers inherently are easy to sanitize because there is less surface area and the supporting structures are much smaller.

To improve sanitation on its mixers, Topos Mondial Corp. eliminated as many fasteners as possible because they can harbor bacteria and pathogens, according to Damian Morabito, president of the Pottstown, PA-based company.

Going to direct drives

Topos Mondial manufactures open-frame horizontal mixers in single- and double-sigma styles as well as 3-roller-bar mixers with 800-lb capacities or less. However, Mr. Morabito said he’s not yet convinced that a direct-drive gearbox would hold up over time in a larger open-frame roller-bar mixer.

Mr. Bartsch noted Shaffer’s open-frame design allows direct-drive technology to be used on horizontal mixers. “Direct drive has been a big factor for Shaffer and in what we have done over the past couple of years,” he said.

Direct drives reduce maintenance by eliminating components such as pulleys, chains and idlers. “Your drive now is just your gearbox and motor,” Mr. Bartsch noted. “We eliminate the couplings between the motor and the gearbox and the overhung load from the output shaft of the gearbox.”

All of Shaffer’s direct-drive mixers feature variable-frequency drives (VFDs). “VFDs made direct drive doable,” Mr. Bartsch said. “The startup torque on a 2-speed motor would cause the gearbox to chew itself up. With a VFD, we are able to do a soft start where you ramp up speeds, and it is a lot smoother on the gearbox.”

AMF also developed a small line of direct-drive mixers that are simple and easy to clean, Mr. Campbell said.

When redesigning its open-frame mixers, Shaffer wanted to drive out the need for greasing as much as possible. By using a composite material at the pivot joint for tilting the mixer bowl up and down, the company eliminated a major grease point that often fuels a constant battle between maintenance and sanitation crews. “Maintenance would grease the bearing, but during cleaning, they would hose away all the grease. And then maintenance would have to come back to grease it again,” Mr. Bartsch explained.

To further reduce maintenance, Shaffer remotely mounts hydraulic units for the mixers’ tilting systems. “We’ve removed this component from the mixing area that would need to be cleaned on a regular basis,” he said.

Topos installs self-contained hydraulics packages to operate its overtilt bowl assembly, and as an option, it offers a hand pump. “If you lose power to the mixer for any reason, this option gives you the ability to manually pump the hydraulics to discharge the dough,” Mr. Morabito explained.

Shaping the bowl

To help bakeries achieve the dough characteristics they desire from the mixer, Topos focuses on the science of kneading. “The key to our designs is that we configure the bowl to properly knead,” Mr. Morabito said. “It is important to get the bowl set for changes based on absorption. A stiff dough kneads differently than a soft dough, and the bowl needs to be configured appropriately for the absorption of the dough. The RPMs need to be adjusted to get the proper kneading.”

Topos’ roller-bar mixers feature a D-shaped bowl, and the bowl’s flat surface improves the kneading action of the dough, he said. To get the proper kneading action, positioning of breaker and roller bars can be reconfigured “We are reducing mix times, which increases throughput per hour,” Mr. Morabito said. “We also are dramatically decreasing the cooling load needed on the bowl. When you are properly kneading, you are not overheating the dough.”

Shaffer also engineered an exclusive bowl shape for its roller-bar mixers, known as its Superbowl design that features a curved back to impart less deflection to the bowl sheet, according to Mr. Bartsch.

In fact, the company did a finite element analysis (FEA) comparing the older and newer designs. “We had much less deflection in our bowl sheet compared to the U-shaped bowl,” he said. “During the last stages of mixing when you get a lot of dough development, you get a lot of violent action as the mass of the dough hits the back of the bowl. Anytime you can have less deflection in the back, you extend the life of the bowl, the jacket and the other components.

“We have a unique bowl shape for our yeast-raised dough customers that we believe is stronger and, in some cases, has shortened mix times,” Mr. Bartsch continued.

According to Mr. Campbell, one of bakeries’ biggest concerns as it relates to mixing is getting consistent dough development in the minimum amount of time. To this end, AMF offers several styles of agitators to match the requirements of specific dough.

AMF’s single-point integrated controls ensure the entire mixing and makeup system runs accurately on fresh dough.

Improving continuous mixers

Continuous mixing systems have benefited from recent developments designed to give them greater flexibility, make them easier to clean and enable more opportunities to monitor mixing.

The Exact Mixing FX2 continuous mixer from Reading Bakery Systems, Robesonia, PA, provides the versatility that permits manufacturers to make baked potato, corn, wheat and multigrain crisps using the company’s Multicrisp line, according to Jim Warren, director, Exact Mixing.

“Now, the snack manufacturer doesn’t have to invest in a new line that only makes one type of product,” he said. “This reduces the risks of adding a new line and increases the chances the new investment will be a big hit quickly.”

The Codos continuous mixing and kneading system from Zeppelin Systems USA, Odessa, FL, provides consistent dough quality and dough temperatures. The preparation, handling and continuous feeding of raw materials to the mixers represents the most important factor of a highly functioning continuous mixing system, according to Stephen Marquardt, sales director, food, North and South America. He pointed out that the company’s core competency is raw material handling and ingredient preparation. Its fully automatic mixing systems feature fast recipe changes and immediate compensation of raw material quality fluctuations.

Zeppelin recently installed its first fully automated sponge-and-dough system with Codos for the production of rusk with a 4.5-hour continuous fermentation time.

Invented in 2002 by Bernhard Noll, PhD, the Rapidojet continuous mixing system is revolutionizing the doughmaking and hydration process, according to Ken Schwenger, president of Bakery Concepts International, LLC, Mechanicsburg, PA, which represents the technology in North, Central and South America. The Rapidojet shoots high-pressure water into a free-flowing stream of dry ingredients, hydrating them instantaneously.

Bakeries using Rapidojet can adjust hydration and recipes via PLCs, and these changes occur almost immediately. It can run doughs from 10% to more than 350% hydration, Mr. Schwenger said.

Because the Rapidojet creates a homogenous mix with higher hydration levels — 8 to 10% more water must be added to achieve the same dough consistency — it increases product quality and softness, reduces ingredient costs, and imparts a longer shelf life and better volume and strength to baked foods, Mr. Schwenger said.

The technology also eliminates heat created from mechanical force, thus bakers controls dough temperature solely via incoming water temperature. They can also significantly reduce yeast and dough conditioner requirements with the mixer because Rapidojet doesn’t generate the friction and heat that can affect gluten structure, Mr. Schwenger said.

Using Rapidojet as a pre-mixer to produce a sponge or to hydrate minors such as bran, rice flour or whole wheat flour prior to adding them to the final dough mixer can reduce overall mix time. “We cut the final mix time in a large horizontal mixer for bran bread by 20% just by introducing fully hydrated bran,” Mr. Schwenger observed.

Rapidojet is easy to disassemble and clean, and doors are completely sealed for exterior washdown.

Reading’s customers report cleaning times on its new Exact mixers have been reduced by as much as 70% compared with sanitizing mixers built as recently as five years ago, Mr. Warren said. The mixer’s clamshell design not only improves the ability to clean the unit but also to inspect it after cleaning.

Monitoring the process

One of the greatest challenges in mixing remains the diligence of operators. “The quality seldom suffers when the production manager is in the mix room,” Mr. Warren said. “That’s because everyone is on their toes. But it’s difficult to maintain that intensity level 24 hours a day.”

If an issue arises in mixing, often it isn’t even detected until the packaging line by a quality control operator or system, which can lead to a lot of wasted product, Mr. Warren added. “Our control systems monitor all aspects of the mixing system 24 hours a day,” he said. “Problems are detected immediately and not repeated. The process can be monitored anywhere in the plant, including the QC department or in the production manager’s office.”

Lots of improvements are being made to mixing systems. Equipment manufacturers work with their customers to ensure that these systems not only create the doughs they desire but also are easily cleaned and maintained, versatile, and robust enough to last a long time.

Maryland Jewish centers find support amid the terror

NASCAR slow to learn from racing tragedies

of the Sentinel Staff

Mario Andretti awakens a split-second before dying.

"I still wake up from dreams that I am crashing or that I'm upside down -- things I used to dread and fear."

He is now 60.

"Thank God I survived that era."

In his time, he did it all: dirt-track stock cars, sprint cars, midget cars, Indy cars, prototype sports cars, NASCAR, Formula One. He won it all: the Indy 500, the Daytona 500, the world driving championship . . .

And he lived to tell about it.

He cannot count the friends who didn't.

"At the beginning of a season, I would look around at a drivers' meeting and I would think, 'I wonder who's not going to be here at the end,' " he says. "There were years when we lost as many as six guys."

A young Emerson Fittipaldi would glance around the starting grid at the Formula One Grand Prix of Monaco each spring and see 22 drivers.

"We all knew the odds," he says. "Three of us would not survive the season."

During the 35 years Richard Petty raced in NASCAR, he often would admonish his wife, Lynda. "If I get killed, if you ever sue anybody over it, I will haunt you," he told her. "I know the risk. I take all the responsibility."

1st racing death in 1898

That has been the mind-set of racing drivers worldwide, since the first fatality among them, the Marquis de Montaignac at Course de Perigueux in France in 1898.

Hundreds followed in the bloodiest lineage in all of sports.

Western civilization was quickly polarized on the subject of motor racing. There were masses revolted by it, and masses drawn to the mystique of the sport that killed almost banally.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway alone, in the first half of the century, became a notorious arena of death. From 1929 to 1940, the only fatality-free year there was 1936. The Indy 500s of 1933, '35 and '37 killed four men each.

Then came the hideously historic year of 1955. Six drivers -- including star Billy Vukovich, who died while going for his third consecutive Indy 500 victory -- were killed that season in racing for Indianapolis-type cars sanctioned by the American Automobile Association.

Worse, when Pierre Levegh crashed into the grandstands early in the 1955 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, 81 spectators died with him immediately; the final death toll eventually surpassed 100 as others succumbed to their injuries.

Under enormous public pressure, racing began to take steps in safety. By 1959, seat belts and roll bars were mandatory in Indy cars. But the most nightmarish cause of death, fire, remained.

Memorial Day weekend 1964 changed that.

1964 was turning point

In arguably the most hideous crash ever at Indy, dashing young driver Dave MacDonald and clowning crowd-pleaser Eddie Sachs perished together in a cloud of fire.

In NASCAR, on the same day at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a similar cloud engulfed the car of Southern folk hero Glenn Roberts, ironically long known by the nickname "Fireball." He died five weeks later.

In the wake of the '64 catastrophes came fire-retardant uniforms for drivers and "fuel cells" for cars; the cells were rubber bladders highly resistant to rupturing in crashes.

The young Mario Andretti arrived in Indy-car racing that same year. Because of his fearless driving style, he began receiving Christmas cards in July. It was black-humored admiration from fans; the message was that they didn't expect him to live until the December holiday.

"We accepted it," Andretti says of death, "as part of doing business. When one of us got it, we said, 'Well, it was just his turn. I hope it's not mine next time.'

"It was like going to war. Each time you strapped into a race car, you never knew if you were coming back."

"The Flying Scot," Jim Clark, the best Formula One driver of his day and the Indy 500 winner in 1965, was killed at Hockenheim, Germany, in 1968. In 1970, Austrian Jochen Rindt became the only F1 driver ever awarded the world driving championship posthumously, dying at Monza, Italy. In 1971, Pedro Rodriguez of Mexico died in Germany and Jo Siffert of Switzerland died at Brands Hatch, England. Two global ladies' men died in '74 -- Revlon cosmetics heir Peter Revson of the United States at Kyalami, South Africa, and Francois Cevert of France at Watkins Glen, N.Y.

And feared old Indy maintained its reputation as a killer: Chuck Rodee in '66, visiting British F1 driver Mike Spence in '68, Jim Malloy in '72. In '73 came the Brickyard's still-notorious "Year of Fire and Rain," when rain delays spread the carnage over weeks. Art Pollard died during practice. Swede Savage died five weeks after suffering grave injuries in a race that was so chaotic, even crew member Armando Teran was killed -- by a firetruck speeding to Savage's crash and going the wrong way on the pit road.

Legendary Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray took a singular stand on Indy: "Gentlemen, start your coffins," he wrote in the Year of Fire and Rain.

Then in 1975: "If the Kentucky Derby is the Run for the Roses, then this [Indy] is the Run for the Lilies."

Yet Murray differentiated between the open-wheel forms and NASCAR's big, heavy stock cars. "NASCAR's safe," Murray said privately at Indy in '75. "Not at all like this stuff."

Thus would NASCAR's image continue, for decades to come, while open-wheel racing remained notorious.

Another gruesome season was in 1982: In Formula One, Canada's definitive daredevil, Gilles Villeneuve (father of current F1 star Jacques Villeneuve) and Italian rookie Ricardo Paleti were killed. In Indy cars, Gordon Smiley was killed during qualifying at Indianapolis, and Jim Hickman died in a race at Milwaukee only a week after the Indy 500.

Throughout major open-wheel racing -- Indy cars and Formula One -- drivers demanded safer cars. Engineers delivered, with bodywork that crushed and fragmented to absorb energy, lessening the shock on drivers' bodies.

From 1982 to 1994, a great lull in the dying came to Formula One and the top Indy car series, Championship Auto Racing Teams Inc. (CART).

But that lull was precisely what set the stage for the storm that opened the revolution against death in auto racing.

Senna's death stunned fans

If there ever was a driver who simply could not die in a race car, it was Ayrton Senna.

He was too precise, too near-superhuman with lightning reflexes, too laserlike in his focus. Quite simply, he was the best driver in the history of Grand Prix racing and, arguably, the best in any form of motor sports.

When young Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger was killed during practice for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, Italy, it was a shock to the new generation of Formula One drivers, none of whom had experienced the death of a colleague.

Then came race day: May 1, 1994. Rising German star Michael Schumacher was following closely behind his idol and mentor, Senna.

Schumacher said Senna's car, a state-of-the-art Williams FW16, appeared "nervous" as it entered a corner.

Then it was gone.

It shot off the course, slamming into a high concrete retaining wall at more than 180 mph. When it bounced off the wall, Senna already was dead in the cockpit.

Williams team officials were prosecuted for culpable homicide by the Italian government, but they were acquitted.

Experts believe the car somehow "bottomed out," so that the front tires were lifted off the pavement just enough that they had no traction, leaving Senna unable to steer.

In any case, for all his brilliance, Ayrton Senna, at age 32 the Mozart of his profession, was a helpless passenger on the split-second ride to his end.

The cause of death was announced as penetration of Senna's brain by a piece of shrapnel that pierced his helmet. But experts believe he would have died anyway of the common culprit of modern-day motor-racing fatalities, basal skull fracture, caused by the violent whipping motion of his head and neck under high G-forces of the impact.

Senna's death was the highest-profile single fatality in the history of automobile racing.

The world had changed in the 12 years Formula One had gone without a fatality. Civilization had gone into a sea change against unnecessary death -- from quitting smoking to exercising to passenger-car safety. And F1 fans had become accustomed to all sport, no gore.

Now Formula One had two fatalities in rapid succession. And the nightmare wasn't over. Twelve days later, in the first practice for the next race, the Grand Prix of Monaco, Karl Wendlinger crashed and went into a coma.

The drivers' association, dormant since the days of Fittipaldi in the 1970s, was reactivated, and the revolution was on. It brought in retired driver Niki Lauda -- himself permanently disfigured from a fiery F1 crash in 1976 -- as spokesman.

Immediate and complete redesign of Formula One cars was ordered by the governing Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The "tubs," survival cells built into the chassis, would be drastically heightened to contain violent whipping of drivers' heads. Horsepower was reduced. Crash tests were mandated to ensure that cars deformed and/or disintegrated on impact for adequate dissipation of energy away from drivers' bodies.

Formula One, which in the days of Andretti and Fittipaldi had been the most dangerous motor sport in the world, was on its way to becoming the safest.

There hasn't been a driver fatality in Formula One since Senna.

NASCAR deaths rationalized

NASCAR also had two driver fatalities in 1994, both in its elite Winston Cup series and both at its showcase track, Daytona International Speedway. During practice sessions for NASCAR's biggest race, the Daytona 500, fun-loving veteran Neil Bonnett and rookie Rodney Orr died.

But there were easy rationales with which NASCAR drivers could write off the tragedies.

Bonnett had suffered brain-stem injuries in a crash in 1990 and had been out of action except for two races in '93. After he died, there were whispers that he shouldn't have been back in a race car -- that he suffered from cumulative effects of his head injuries and that his reflexes might have been dulled. And Orr was a not-ready-for-prime-time rookie; the Daytona 500 was too much, too soon.

Bonnett's rustiness and Orr's inexperience also fit well into another, larger rationale. There was an ongoing "tire war" in NASCAR between dominant Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and upstart Hoosier Tire, a racing specialty company based in Indiana. In a dangerous game of one-upmanship, the war escalated, with each tiremaker trying to design and manufacture faster tires than the other.

This contest had raged off and on since 1988 and involved considerable experimentation by both companies. Drivers constantly were frightened about racing on unproven tires.

Bonnett and Orr were on Hoosiers at Daytona in '94.

Veteran drivers who had tried the Hoosiers said they were fine. But if there was trouble, such as slight fishtailing, a rusty or inexperienced driver might not react quickly enough to take proper steering measures. Indeed, NASCAR announced the day Bonnett died that it suspected "driver error."

Later that year, rising NASCAR star Ernie Irvan nearly died at Michigan Speedway, suffering massive head and chest injuries in a crash caused by yet another tire failure, this time a Goodyear.

Irvan's team owner, Robert Yates, began calling for safer cars with less horsepower. Yates said the sides of Winston Cup cars were too rigid and needed to be more flexible to dissipate crash energy away from drivers' bodies. He asked for a cut from the then-peak horsepower of 730 to a maximum of 600.

But Yates was a solo voice in the macho world of NASCAR, where drivers still believed that things were "meant to be" and said, "It was just his time." Drivers clung to that. And NASCAR rolled on.

Meanwhile, CART began requiring electronic crash-data recorders on its cars in 1994, a milestone advance in the science of racing safety.

Since its inception in 1979, CART, a league founded largely by former drivers themselves, had been more proactive on safety than any other racing body in the world.

CART had its own medical and rescue staff, headed by a neurosurgeon, Dr. Steve Olvey of the University of Miami. CART also had one of the world's top orthopedic surgeons for racing injuries, Dr. Terry Trammell of Indianapolis, as a major consultant.

Olvey and Trammell worked regularly with racing engineers, studying data from crashes, redesigning cars, advancing safety features.

The 1996 death of little-known CART driver Jeff Krosnoff was something of a freak accident, as his car went airborne off a temporary street course in Toronto and his head hit a tree.

Scott Brayton, the Indy 500 pole-sitter, was killed in a crash May 17, 1996. He suffered a basal skull fracture as his car hit the wall during a practice run for the 500.

Three more years passed without a driver death. But then came the fall of 1999.

On Sept. 11, in a practice session at Laguna Seca Raceway near Monterey, Calif., rookie Gonzalo Rodriguez apparently lost control of his Penske-Mercedes, which shot straight off a turn and slammed nose-first into a barrier.

The first layer of the barrier was made of tires bound together; behind them was a concrete retaining wall. The car hit so hard it drove through the cushion, came to a sudden stop against the immovable wall, then vaulted, rear-over-front, over the wall.

Rodriguez, who suffered instant basal skull fracture, "bled out before he hit the ground," says Olvey, an attending physician at the scene. "Most of his blood volume was on the sign and the wall [over which the car vaulted]."

Where NASCAR had learned little from the fatal crashes of Bonnett and Orr and the near-fatal one of Irvan in '94 -- NASCAR had no crash data recorders on cars -- CART's recorders gathered enormous information for improvement after Rodriguez's death.

Rodriguez had died of classic basal skull fracture. CART for two years had been studying a device meant to prevent precisely that injury by restricting the whipping motion of drivers' heads -- even forward motion.

Head restraint takes stage

It was called the HANS, for "head and neck support," and had been around since 1991, developed by Dr. Robert Hubbard, a specialist in biomechanical engineering.

At first, it was too bulky for drivers to wear in the tight confines of open-cockpit Indy and Formula One cars. But in 1996, as part of Formula One's all-out war on driver fatalities, Mercedes-Benz engineer Hubert Gramling had seen enormous potential in Hubbard's device. With Hubbard as a consultant, Gramling began testing the device at Mercedes labs near Stuttgart, Germany. Together, they refined the HANS so it was small enough to be practical in open-cockpit cars.

After Rodriguez's death, CART experts created a computer model to be analyzed by Ford Motor Co. engineers. They had data from Rodriguez's crash recorder. They had specifications on the HANS. Melding all that information in the computer, they found that "mathematically, the HANS would have saved Gonzalo's life," Trammell says.

Just as they were pondering implementation of the HANS came the tragedy that turned CART's steady study of anti-fatality measures into all-out rush.

Gonzalez was a rookie. Greg Moore was something else entirely -- one of the elite fraternity, a proven veteran at age 24. He was an enormously competent driver, popular with U.S. fans and a major celebrity in his native Canada. And Moore was most beloved among his peers; he was the paddock prankster and instigator of virtually every party.

"When Greg got killed, I've never seen drivers that upset in all the years that I've been doing this," says Olvey, who has been CART's medical director since its inception. "We've got a highly intelligent group of drivers. They don't accept guys getting killed anymore -- especially when it's something that could have been prevented."

Intelligence, unfamiliarity with death and what experts call "small sample" or "cluster" statistics added up to heartsick outrage among CART drivers.

Moore's death, at California Speedway near Los Angeles on Oct. 31, 1999, amounted to CART's version of F1's nightmare.

"That's the nature of these rare events. You can go for years without them, and then they seem to appear suddenly," says Dr. John Melvin, a Detroit-based biomechanical engineer who is one of the world's leading authorities on racing safety. "The single occurrence, every so often, can sort of fail to get people's attention. But two close together can really get everybody's attention."

Though Moore suffered several lethal sets of injuries, including a broken neck, he also suffered a basal skull fracture. CART began moving with speed to make the HANS practical and to mandate it.

Moore's crash was the most violent in CART history. His car lost traction in the turbulent air roiling off other cars and skated into the infield grass. Had that infield area been paved, experts believe, he might have regained control or at least slid safely to a stop.

But on slick tires on slippery grass, Moore's car skated out of control, sideways. Then it tripped on a rough spot, lifted into the air and began barrel-rolling. Still, Moore might have survived -- except the car then slammed almost cockpit-first into a concrete retaining wall in the infield. The car bounced off the wall and began an even more violent series of rolls.

Moore was dead in the car. Repeated attempts by Olvey and other physicians to resuscitate him were unscuccessful.

In the off-season, CART moved rapidly. Roger Penske, then owner of California Speedway and its twin sister, Michigan Speedway, ordered immediate paving of the infield areas off the second turns of both tracks.

Studies of the HANS intensified, and two CART drivers, Michael Andretti and Christian Fittipaldi, volunteered to wear the HANS in testing and races.

On July 26, the HANS likely saved Christian Fittipaldi's life in a hard crash on the Chicago Motor Speedway oval. Within hours, CART's board of directors voted to make the HANS collar mandatory for its oval-track races in 2001.

But July 27, former driver Bobby Rahal, then CEO of CART, said in an interview that "irrespective of what we do to make cars safer, we can only do so much."

Attention must now turn, Rahal said, to energy-dissipating walls. "A concrete wall is good at one thing: restraining cars from going into crowds," he said. "But it is prehistoric in terms of its technology."

CART had little control over replacing the concrete wall Moore had hit at California Speedway. That track had been acquired by International Speedway Corp., which now owns or controls 13 major speedways in the United States. ISC is controlled by the France family of Daytona Beach, the family that also owns NASCAR outright.

Fatalities in each of NASCAR's top series -- Adam Petty in Busch Grand National on May 12, Kenny Irwin in Winston Cup on July 7 and Tony Roper in Craftsman Trucks on Oct. 15 -- left NASCAR standing alone while the open-wheel forms, under pressure, had reduced their fatalities to zero in 2000. And then in September, Greg Moore's family filed suit against International Speedway Corp. in a California court, charging wrongful death.

Petty was the towering surname that forced the issue this time. In one way, Adam Petty's death was not as profound as Senna's; in another way, it was even more profound. Unlike Senna, Adam Petty had won no championships, or even a major race. But unlike Senna, Adam Petty, at 19, was all bright hope, all enormous potential, the one anointed to take up the mantle of his grandfather, folk hero Richard Petty, NASCAR's winningest driver, with 200 career victories.

Adam was to be the next great Petty. But suddenly, Richard says, "everything we had planned for the next 20 years just . . . evaporated."

What Adam Petty might have accomplished, the heights to which he could have taken NASCAR popularity, never will be known. But like Senna in F1 and like Moore with CART, Petty's death may serve as an impetus for a safety push in NASCAR.

Mongolian Beef Updated, by Beverly Hicks Burch

Mongolian Beef Updated

By Beverly Hicks Burch

Recently I tweaked the Mongolian Beef Recipe I had adapted from one I found from Chinese cook and chef Kylie Kwong. This evening Tall & Handsome and I cooked us up a batch after I got in from work. From the “umm…ummm…ummms” coming from his direction as he took his first few bites, I think he approved. I could certainly tell he has been missing my home cooking. I’ve had Mongolian Beef before and I have other Mongolian Beef recipes, but Kylie’s is unlike any other I’ve seen or tried.

Serve this with rice and I guarantee you’ll enjoy this version of Mongolian Beef.

Mongolian Beef

1 ¼ pound ground round or sirloin

5 cups chopped Chinese cabbage, bok choy will work

2 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt

¼ cup vegetable oil

4 tablespoons dry sherry

4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce

2 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 teaspoon malt vinegar

2 teaspoon sesame oil

2 small carrots finely sliced or grated

1 medium red bell pepper, sliced thinly

¾ cup chopped green onions

Meat Marinade:

4 tablespoon dry sherry

2tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoon fresh ginger, diced finely

6 cloves garlic, finely diced

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Mix marinade ingredients and add to the ground beef. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

Wash and dry cabbage. Chop and place in a large bowl. Toss with salt and let stand 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain and dry well, squeezing excess water out with hands if need be.

In wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on high. When hot add half the meat and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Break the meat up into small pieces. Remove the meat from the wok and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the wok and when hot, add the remaining meat and stir fry in for about 30 seconds or until meat is no longer pink.

Then stir in sherry, Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir fry 30 seconds.

Next, add cabbage, carrot and pepper and stir fry for about 1 minute. Lastly, add green onions and remove from heat.

Garnish with green onions.

Enjoy! Smile
