Two things you should get along with a Costco membership: a chest freezer and a vacuum pack food saver.
We (2 oldies) usually buy huge hunks of prime beef and cut our own steaks, then vac bag them in "meals for 2", tag them, and into the chest freezer they go. We do the same with pork or...
If you have a proven method , by all means do what you know .
I've done dried cure with Umai .
I don't use TQ to do that . If you do and it works , like I said no reason to change .
The coppa above would be considered Coppa cotto . Cooked . 152 is a safe finished temp since it hasn't been...
I usually get 1 bad pack out of the 4 pack of the Costco LS bacon. Fatty and the meat and fat separate.
I have better luck with the thick cut and roll it out thin as @chopsaw mentioned.
I like the extra long piece for wrapping larger items. Things as wrapped jalapenos, I get 2 per piece of bacon.
Thanks! It's been awhile since I tried to make a plate look nice. Was fun
thanks man!
thank you
Yep many more plans on it. Thanks for your health and advice on the Smokefire.
Still some left.....
Thanks!
There are deals to be had and on used ones. Just make sure it's a Gen 2. Also ask...
I was at Safeway the other day and the picnic cuts were $1.99 a pound, and they weighed eight pounds. I bought two and put them in the freezer.
At eight pounds if you discount the skin and the bones that’s not a whole lot more meat than a porktenderloin.
Thanks guys for all the kind comments. I just had some leftover for supper tonight and I'm honestly blown away by the smoke flavor on such a short cook. Looking forward to more experiments with it.
...it up with a base of red wine first, then salt, BP, garlic, herbs de providence then topped that with fresh fennel leaves. The porktenderloin was salted separately. Then time to roll and tie.
I ment to add fresh basil leaves as well but forgot that at the store. The skin side was salted...
, slit the bottom, insert a porktenderloin, cap with baby back ribs and tie it up with rosemary and your favorite S & P garlic rub. There's something for everyone except pork haters
I appreciate your replies, but I'll still not tackle a brisket. 15-20 lbs of meat would last more months than I care to guess. We're 2 old people whose meat intake is more in the 3-4 oz range. A Costco hotdog is a full day's food for us.
We love smoking pork ribs and butt, but don't do it...
I have a fat porktenderloin which will be "soaking" in a marinade. if it's not too much pork for Friday night, I'll probably inject it and throw it on the kettle. Sliced this will be good for sandwiches or knife/fork.
Took the ta ta's out of brine and dried for a bit. Then a simple salt and course cracked pepper.
Then opened the porktenderloin and got it into a marinade of thyme, rosemary, garlic, and salt in a grapeseed oil
More to come
...Kutas' recipe with a couple of changes; instead of Veal and "lean pork butts", whatever that is, I used a mix of chicken breast, porktenderloin and top round for the veal and salt pork for some fat.
Here's what I came up with for a 5# batch:
22.66 oz chicken
22.66 oz tenderloin
22.66 oz top...
Oven roasted Italian seasoned baby potatoes, Firecracker Green Beans and PorkTenderloin with a drizzle of Cherry Chipotle sauce to finish it off.
I intended to make this sheet pan meal in the Pit Boss KC Combo but the 30 mph winds prevented that so I put the potatoes and the tenderloin in...
