    Newbie Question - Making a Paste from Cow Crust Rub

    I'm thinking of trying the Cow Crust Rub on a roast and the directions say to use 1 part rub and 1 part water to make a paste. I'm not sure how to quantify that. Do I just mix until it looks like a paste? Any suggestions for an injection?

    Thanks!

    In most recipes, I think 1 to 1 means by volume. I can't say for sure though.

      Depending on the size (pounds?) of your roast, I'd start with a tablespoon. If you need more, mix another tablespoon. That way, going forward, you can gauge how much to use.

        Haven't done it with the cow crust, but I have with S&G. I start off by putting a little less rub than I think I need in a spice bowl. Then add just a little water and mix. If it gets too clumpy I then add a little more water. If it gets too soupy I then add a little more rub to thicken it up. Rinse and repeat until I get it where I want it.

          Welcome to the Pit from Southern Illinois! I have just rubbed cow crust on a roast and the moisture in the meat was enough to make it stick well.

            Welcome to the PIT! One thing you can do when working with different compounds that call for ratios is use a digital kitchen scale. I have a few that were < $ 20.00.

            Put the amount of rub you will be using on the scale and weigh. Now put a vessel for liquids on the scale and tare. (bring the scale to zero) Now add enough liquid to the vessel to weigh the same amount as the rub.

            I've recently picked up some 'mini' silicon-tipped egg whiskers for ~ a dollar or two at the grocers. They are about 6" long. I bought 4 and love them for stuff like this.

            If you have problems creating a thick liquefied suspension into a paste - colloidal - similar to how salad dressing starts out, also get a mortar and pestle and grind the rub down a bit. Sublime...
