    How to Waste a Steak

    Wow! Someone cut open a Hot Pocket and used the cheese to cook a steak?

    Ham curing a whole pig

    Look up Pop’s brine on this site. It’s foolproof. I use it all the time. It’s very basic and simple. I’ve modified it to my taste. I do not like salty hams. Pop’s calls for a full cup. 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 3/4 cup kosher salt 1 Tablespoon Cure #1 1 gallon very cold water Never...

    Wait! What is this meatball magic? I’m ready to be amazed and astounded. I’m in for the ride. What is “all the meats”? Beef, pork, kangaroo? You never know on this site.

    Ham curing a whole pig

    I’m out of my league here but my concern would be injecting like crazy around the bones like you would with a whole leg. I lost a beautiful fresh giant leg once to bone sour most likely because I didn’t inject enough. If you’re using an equalization brine then injecting it like crazy won’t...

    Decadent Buchan's Beef Short Ribs

    Thanks, Robert. I do have leftovers but I’ve not had dinner yet tonight. We’ll see how hungry I am after my night swim. Two nights in a row might put me in a meat coma.

    Decadent Buchan's Beef Short Ribs

    I use it more than my Yoder. I never thought that would happen. It’s just so easy. Using your hand to set the temp actually works. That magic dome lid turns it into a mini smoker. And, yes, given my failure with brisket the short ribs are going to be on the menu a lot more. The collagen won me...

    Did you use sausage or hamburger for the meat layer? Looks great whatever you used.

    Decadent Buchan's Beef Short Ribs

    I picked up a couple packs of beef short ribs from Costco and dusted them with Cowtown back pepper rub. Into my magic garage fridge they went to age for 10 days. I'd normally say these meat chunks are too small to age but there was so much marbling on them I thought it was worth the risk. I...

    Nitrate/Nitrite Discussion

    Yeah, I think it’s interesting, creative wording. If you did find a new method containing no nitrates at all, you’d brag about it all over your bottle.

    Nitrate/Nitrite Discussion

    Here’s my totally subjective, I’ll-informed, non-scientific comment. I immediately ordered Ecocure after watching the video because I was curious. No agenda or strong opinions. I thought, I have no curing meat ego, I’ll give it a shot and report back. I’ve never liked the smell of cure #1 or...

    Blackstone Griddle - To buy or not to buy.....

    We’re about to do a DIY kitchen remodel. It’s been recommended by members of this forum that I consider getting a Blackstone. Other than helping out with large pancake breakfasts I have no experience with them. I’m wondering if they can double as a stovetop? Can I put a pan or pot on it if...

    Oh, wow. I can make blue smoke but I'm terrible at brisket. I do know how to make a lot of brisket chili, though. Thanks for the honor. I hope you know what you're doing. Haha!
