I couldn't help reading this post and I'm really happy you went through all the trouble of taking pictures and helping us learn from your mistakes.

Your original liver 'mixture' is very interesting, but it seems to have worked. <br />I take it from your memos that you didn't like the smell very much? :D I don't either, all windows plus the back door are always open when the smelly stuff is in the oven. I haven't found a better solution to deal with the odours. Yet.<br />I was chuffed to see the 'customers' lying in front of the oven like I thought they'd do.

Just...So I'll take you up on that email offer.<br /><br />Just found your place surfing around and how could I not love a post about 'offal cake'!<br /><br />I am the clever scientist type and while I (currently) have no idea how oat and bran flour might absorb offal odors (pun intended) I do know enough about metals and toxicology to explain that livers are designed to bioaccumulate nasty toxic things like heavy metals. So if you're going to use much liver - you're right, it is best to use liver from organic or wild animals.<br /><br />Janeen McMurtrie <br />Red Wing, MNJaneen McMurtriehttp://www.smartdogs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-25764839962857735522011-02-22T18:00:25.733+11:002011-02-22T18:00:25.733+11:00Nice treats!

My pups will be ECSTATIC!!<br /><br />Anyway, I do my liver treats a bit differently- I boil them first, for about 20 minutes or so, until they are mostly cooked. Then, I throw them in he oven for 30-40 minutes until they are mostly dried up and browned on the outside. Flip once, half way through or so. Oven at 200F. It migh shorten up your cook time and accomplish the same thing, I am guessing!<br /><br />I also know a lady who does her liver treats in a slow cooker, but I have no idea for how long!<br /><br />Jen and the Black Dog CrewJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09138784561825870865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905610385807403881.post-27791291469892580782011-02-22T04:17:41.802+11:002011-02-22T04:17:41.802+11:00Thanks for the shout out. Your pictures and words ...Thanks for the shout out. Your pictures and words captured the process of baking liver perfectly. If you ended up with too much, it freezes pretty well.<br /><br />I guess I should have mentioned that I never make liver treats in the oven during the summer. I save that for the winter. In fact, I never turn my oven on at all in the summer.<br /><br />However, I did try sun drying tomatoes once on the dashboard of my car. I guess you could try that with the liver (cover it with cheesecloth to keep the bugs away) but I can't say what your car would end up smelling like. Let's just say the police would probably be contacting you about all the unsolved murders around town.<br /><br />Once again, a great post with lots of good information that made me laugh out loud. How do you do it? And at 3 a.m. yet?Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768027087753712341noreply@blogger.com
