    Cooking for a friend

    The pork loins are done.  I cooked them to an IT of 145, covered them with foil and a bath towel, and let them rest for an hour before wrapping them up.  I cooked them using oak and fruit wood. My only problem is that I don't get any for dinner tonight.  I was told that tonight's dinner is left...

    Cooking for a friend

    Thank you for your input on the dry rub ingredients.  I was told to stay away from dairy products.  Since our friend just started chemo, she isn't eating much right now.  The dinner is mostly for her husband and their two children.

    My new toy

    Chef’s choice 615 slicer review I just used my slicer for the first time to cut up some pork sirloin for lunch meat.  The slicer worked flawlessly.  It took me longer to unpack the slicer and read the instructions than it took for me to slice up the meat.  Cleanup was the hardest part.  Taking...

    My first smoked Canadian bacon

    I did wash off the cure, however I didn't do a cold water soak.  I thought at the time the salt level was ok.  It's not that bad.

    My first smoked Canadian bacon

    I decided to try my hand at making some Canadian bacon.  I took a 4 lb pork loin, applied cure to it, and let it rest in my refrigerator for two weeks.  I then did a fry test and found it to be a bit salty but decided to smoke anyway.  After an overnight rest, I then cold smoked it for 8 hours...
