I'm an avid home canner, but no food safety expert. Take it for what is worth.
We can 5-10 gallons of bone stock every year. Broth/stock is all the same. I can't think of what you could do that would change the safety of it. Can it up!
I will say though, canned broth is slightly degraded. It...
I'll make a counter argument. It looks too small to me. Some dimensions might help, but just based on the picture.
It looks really cool though.
So if it'll make you feel good every time you open it because it looks cool, do it!
But if you think you might be frustrated ever time you have to tend...
Didn't even consider the cast iron.lol.
As silly as it sounds, I don't have a roasting pan with rack and mine are enormous and too deep. I'll add this to reasons why we need a regular roasting pan.
Thanks guys!
Question for those that use a torch for searing after sous vide.
What do you do the sear on or in? I used the torch for the first time tonight. Usually use the grill, but didn't feel like going outside to start the grill (and the patio is covered in duck poop).
I did it in a Pyrex, but I'm...
I can't find it anymore, but several years ago there was a long post and testing done by one of the respected members on home-barista. com. He decided that 1) Robusto in the blend helps it age gracefully. Part of this is the great body that Robusto brings. 2) the big Italian ground coffee...
I was writing a reply that you are now wrong. But decided to check since you probably also checked.
I was also wrong. I also though top came from outside.
I definitely prefer some insulation between the fire box and the coals. To me, it helps maintain the coal bed better. But I don't find a noticable difference between bricks and a bed of ashes. On one smoker I have bricks, the other, I just maintain a bed of ash about an inch thick. The one I...
I've often thought about buying pigs, feeding through the winter and butchering. @indaswamp , I'll place my vote for the "how to feed a pig" thread. If you know, it would also be nice to know how long it takes to impact. Can I buy a pig, feed for a month and be good, it do I have to buy piglets.
Smoldering chips is very different than burning splits. I saw an explanation somewhere, but can't recall. Maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about. Both can produce good smoke flavor, even though the chips aren't burning clean. This is why smoke tubes and mazes work, even though it's...
Never cooked or consumed anything in a salt dive, but always looked intriguing.
Heavily salted surface aside, what is the benefit of a salt dome?
My first volley would be why not HEAVILY salt the surface, but not dome it to the point that it blocks the smoke.
Interested in the other replies.
You can grind minute rice to clean out the grinder. Commonly used for coffee grinders. You can use standard rice, but it's much harder and they say it can be bad for the grinder. I have grind normal rice and never had an issue.
