    Ribs for a different purpose

    Thanks Tom, that is what I did, just small sprinkle of rub, 3 1/2 hours smoke. Big surprise, they were great flavour, so tender, still with a tiny bite, no wrapping, spritzing, let them run. That was a lesson for any future rib smoking.

    Ribs for a different purpose

    Want to do smoked ribs to add to stews, roasts, etc. Many European recipes use them to add a depth of flavour to dishes, such as stuffed sourcraut rolls. So, not to eat after finishing, but recook in something else. Seems to me, no need for 3-2-1 method, just a simple smoke process. Any ideas...

    Refreezing Thawed Raw Meat

    Thank You Chef Jimmy, Good information. My food scientist friend said that flash frozen meats do not suffer from burst cells, the problem is limited to our slow freezing - 18º ç fridges. Have you heard of this ? Keep Safe ! Gus

    Need help Setting up cure fridge

    Hmm Daveo, I would be worried about trying to age beef in a fridge set to 50-55 º. Nowhere in my reserarch about ageing states those temps. I will use the salt method though, Thank You, Gus

    Storing Dry Aged meat

    :emoji_slight_smile: If the delivery costs for Sydney to the US weren't so high, I might entertain the thought of sharing ...... Very soon after I posted the question, it became obvious that freezing is the only way, as much as I dislike doing it. Meat sold fresh here is never frozen, rather...

    Storing Dry Aged meat

    First dry aging process nearing completion. I am the one meat eater in the house. The rib eye 4 point is far too much to consume and looking for a good storing method. I whenever possible do not freeze meat because that destroys the texture and some of the taste, especially beef. I ask the...
