    Chop Sticks

    Never used them for cooking, but I learned from a young age. Was quite good with Chopsticks when I was younger. I got Carpal Tunnel related numbness in my Thumb, Index and Middle Fingers these last 20 years, making using Chopsticks, or handling small Hardware, impossible. As is acceptable in...

    pork and beans

    I like Ham Hocks in Collard or Mixed Greens. I simmer the Hocks with Onions and Garlic for a hour before adding the Greens, then let the whole deal Simmer an hour or two longer. The meat falls off the bones and the Skin, melts in your mouth. They're not gross or any work at all...JJ

    pork and beans

    With Pork Tenderloins, you definitely don't want to go much above 140°F for them to be the best they can be. For the Beans, plenty of Bacon is a good thing. You got any Leftover Smoked Goodies hiding in the Freezer? Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Sausage, them Lil Smokies, even good quality Hot...

    pork and beans

    Pork Loin gets dry and stringy cooked much above 165°F. I would smoke the pork to 140°F with a rest, then slice or Cube it. Add the Pork to the Bean's at the table. Below is a tasty recipe I have used. Just sub 3 Cans drained and rinsed Pinto Beans for the dry beans...JJ Note: The recipe calls...

    Pork Steaks

    The original recipe uses 2-1/2 qt of Red Wine to fit a 1 gallon pitcher, with the other ingredients except the fruit. At the time I was using, Riunite Lambrusco, it came in 3 Liter Bottles, works great. The Red Wine I have been using more recently is a great tasting blend called...Delicious Red...

    Temperature control on Masterbuilt smoker.

    Did it go to 92°C and stay there, or was that the high end of a Temp Swing? +/-10°C (20°F) Swings are normal for the MES smokers with that older style controller. It is also not unusual for a separate Thermometer to read a 10°+ difference in temp at the meat grate compared to what the MES...
