    Anyone ever wrapped a pork loin around the bacon?

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think it would work. Did the bacon wrap instead and rooled black forest ham and swiss cheese inside. Is 145 the temp to shoot for?

    Anyone ever wrapped a pork loin around the bacon?

    I was going to wrap my stuffedn pork lion with bacon. Then, after I filleted it, I started wondering in I could wrap the loin around the bacon to retain some mositure and bacon fat. Would this work, or would the baocn not have a good consistency at 145-150 degrees?

    I started the thread and am still looking. I am close to purchasing Missen stainless steel. I can get a 12 piece set for under $400 with their 20% off coupon. The 5 ply pans are as thick as the All-Clad D5 pans

    What IT for CSR's

    I found some country style ribs discounted to $1.50 a pound this morning. I am thinking they are from the shoulder area as most CSRs in my area a labeled Loin on the package and these were not. What Internal temp do I want to aim for? I have not had good luck with the loin cuts of CSRs and am...

    Looking for recommendations on cookware?

    I know this is a smoking website, but most on here seem to enjoy all kinds of cooking. We are looking to replace our 30-year-old cookware. I am looking for recommendations. I see a lot of promotions for Hexclad, but it seems to be a bit spendy. Not that I am against buying quality, I just don't...

    Looking for best way to cook Sirloin Tip Steak?

    I agree. When I ordered the sirloins, I asked for 1 1/2" thick. I thought I would be getting the ones similar to what I would get at my local market that were 2-3 lbs. They were huge slabs! I don't think my straight sirloins are over .75lbs. I also told them not to trim the briskets at all...

    Looking for best way to cook Sirloin Tip Steak?

    We recently purchased a beef, and as I was sorting it into the freezer, I noticed quite a few packages of sirloin tip steaks. I am not familar with cooking these and would like some tips. Is it a lean cut? tough cut? Should I cook it low and slow, or hot and quick?

    What % lean do you request for your hamburger?

    Al, I used to do the exact same thing. We loved the brisket burgers. However, brisket is now $5.29 a pound in our area for a packer. I can't justify grinding it into burger.

    What % lean do you request for your hamburger?

    I have a full beef that will be cut up late next week. The butcher told me they usually make the hamburger 90% lean. I'm not sure this is what I want. I think I would prefer 75%-70% lean. My thought is that fat adds flavor. Especially for burgers which is what I will make about half of the...
