    First mozzarella attempt

    This made me want to make mozzarella, lol. Was reading my books and in one it says trying to stretch before it's ready will make the cheese hard and grainy. This might be the "split" you describe. When checking if it'll stretch, leave most of it alone and try only a small piece to prevent over...

    First mozzarella attempt

    I'm only a little help. I make allot of cheese, but only mozz a few times. I'm not familiar with Al s method, if you post a link that'll help. I'm assuming this was a 30 minute type recipe with added acid. if you got a clean break in the correct amount of time, don't add more rennet. To much...

    Flat top built into round Firebox

    Love the therm hood. That's very cool. Confused by the stack. Looks like it's fixed horizonal.

    Pressure Canning Broth Question

    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...

    Another 3D print

    Egg skelter! I may or may not have a single spiral version on my counter. 🙃

    Let me know what u think about my FB door

    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...

    Torch searing question

    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!

    Torch searing question

    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...

    Black pepper and coffee

    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...

    Which Round is it????

    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.

    Fire Brick for Fire Box?

    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...

    Finally Did It (First Salami)

    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.

    Advice on wood size and placement

    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...

    New from Northwest Metro Atlanta - Smoking Prime Rib in a Salt Dome????

    Oh! And welcome from New Mexico! I'm sure other folks have experience. And will be more helpful than my speculation.
