It turns out a 10-lb box of rope sausage WILL fit in a tall pasta-pot and strainer, and steams in just an hour or two while making a nice cooking juice for that next batch of beans or that next batch of cornbread.
It turns out home-boned chix makes a lot of good chix filets and that the crap you leave on the bones boils to a nice pulled-chix pate to mix with egg salad.
Love the quarterly meat sale! Above, 35 pounds for $45 and two gallons stock/cooking juice.
