    Attempting First Fatty

    I've been reading several threads here about fatties to see how it's done. I decided I will make 2 of them, one with the jimmy sausage or whatnot and one with ground beef, I want to see which I like more. My worry is that the bacon won't crisp up. I have an MES that goes up to as high as 270...

    First Boneless pork butt

    All my pulled pork has been boston butts, you don't need anything special, just a good rub and smoke, I don't even foil mine I just cook it at 225 until 200 IT, where I take it out and wrap in foil and into a cooler for a 2-4 hrs before I pull. Comes out super moist.

    Smoked Cuban Pulled Pork for Father's Day

    These are the tostones so you have an idea of what they look like. These are maduros, kind of what you did but in your case the plantains you had were in between a ripe and a green plantain, what we call pinton. These you can cut either like it shows it here or at a 45 degree angle about half...

    Smoked Cuban Pulled Pork for Father's Day

    For the mash, i have never tried banana mash, probably will be to sweet but who knows might be good. As far as mash made from plantains there are 2 kinds as far as cubans go. 1- Green plantains boiled and mashed which will have a greyish color and you will have to add some garlic and manteca de...

    Amish White Sandwich Bread

    Will there be a difference between kneading by hand or letting the KA do it!?

    Amish White Sandwich Bread

    I've wanted to try a bread recipe for the longest, definitely will try this this weekend but I have a question, the kneading, does it have to be done by hand or can the kitchen aid do it all and just let it proof or the kitchen aid does the mixing and I have to do the kneading!?

    Smoked Cuban Pulled Pork for Father's Day

    That definitely looks good!!! I'm Cuban born and raised and let me tell you, it's about right! To bad you can't get sour or bitter oranges where you are because it taste slightly different and it is what is used in original recipes but the route you went also works great. Cumin and garlic are...

    Bone In Pork Butt

    HAHAHA!! Blame that on me being cuban, in cuba we are used to dealing more with roasting an entire hog and making a feast out of it. Also when dealing with parts of a hog we tend to veer towards the rear leg, i guess because it has more meat, i dont really know but it is prefered! So honestly it...

    Bone In Pork Butt

    Cubans do the poke with a knife, if it comes out dry it is done, if it still comes out with some fat on it, give it more time lol. I'll see the price between the shoulder and the boston, reason why I asked is because I added 2 meals of pulled pork to my diet so since it's going to be a steady...

    Bone In Pork Butt

    Okay I got it now, thanks. The thing is that I am Cuban and in Cuba we have the front shoulder (paleta) which is normally smaller and we have the rear leg (pernil) much larger in size. So I see where the boston cut comes from, the front, the one I can get cheap is the rear I believe but I will...
