    First Cornell run of 2026

    Nice heat wave here in Ohio last few days and all that jerk chicken talk got me in the mood for some. This is half a pack of 10lb legs broken down with poultry shears. Been slowly tweaking the Cornell base to my liking and it is REALLY dialed in now. Marinaded overnight and liberally mopped...

    Happy St. Paddy's

    ZERO desire to go out, yet alone drink green beer. Reubens on deck and bar is open! Not a black and tan but a black and blue. Sláinte

    Tinga chicken

    Got turned onto the stuff in Cancun and see that vacation thread got me fired up to do another run. Made it a few times and it was ok but had a plan for this one to try and finally nail it down and proud to say I did. Happened to talk about it to lady running my local latina market and she...

    Cheap frozen lobster tail info

    I remember a thread about these but cannot locate it. I'm talking about the 2 pack for $10 guys. I have run LOTS of these. I always considered these sorta sketchy so I would use a bold rub like Chef Paul Redfish magic and I would grill or broil in order to kinda hide that. I picked up 8 for...

    Savory herb, lovage, and others, any fans?

    My caffeine fix this AM led me down a winter savory vs summer savory rabbit hole. Anyone use the stuff? I also found an herb called lovage. Apparently it's is an extremely potent celery like flavor which is interesting. Also interesting that it is considered a commonly used herb for meet in...

    Sauerbraten done by sous vide

    Didn't want to post it and disrupt the other thread so created this one. First few times I had SB was in restaurants. Fell in love with it. Of course, I had to make my own. Made it the traditional way with the long acidic marinade and braise but it fell really short of my expectations...

    Steak ranchero t-bones round 2

    Steaks got dusted with NM red chili powder and Goya adobo. Instant rice made with Maggi Cons Mate bouillon dissolved in water, chopped onion, and a chopped serrano. Browned in a little oil first of course. OMG Might be better than the steak! I think the serrano was JUST a little too much...

    Steak Ranchero

    Not legit ranchero but is how it is served here at the local joints (mexi rub/steak al carbon seasoning). Star of the show was the rice. 5m rice with 1/2 Salsa Casera (Herdez) and a little chicken boullion powder (of course rice got heavy toast in oil first) All was pretty easy to bang out...

    ENABLING my turn

    We've been without a toaster a few years now. We'd use the oven for anything if needed. Last one worked OK but we retired it. Chalked it up to we're not toast people much anymore. I noticed the wife using the oven more and more lately so decided grab a new one and boy I am happy I did! It's...

    Anyone have a spare water pan for MES40?

    1 turkey 3 cooks

    Rather than jump in mess up Ryan's @Brokenhandle fine thread, I opted to do my own. David @DRKsmoking talks about buying a whole bird to get drums... No other way for me from now on. Breast dry brined with salt, WP, and sage, oven roasted. Legs and wings cured with Pops low salt smoked on a...

    Valentine's Day Dinner splurge

    Rather than go out we stayed in. Ran some shrimp and tails with a salad and baked tater. Poultry shears made the tails easy. Rubbed with Red Lobster seasoning and hit it with the broiler. Got some smoke going from the broiler burning the tails a little. Thought you guys might get a kick out...

    Schwenkbraten (german style pork steak)

    Cannot believe it took me this long to run this. Essentially these are pork steaks (from butt) that are marinated in onion, salt, and spice. Like brats each region makes them slightly different but I fell in love with a recipe that suggested curry. I went with garam masala which is a spicer...

    Was my turn I guess

    I think this is my 4th brisket. Might be sacrilegious to some but opted to break the packer down into hunks. I can still see the fat and collagen pouring out while I sliced it. First time that ever happened to me. Be nice if it happens again.

    Anyone have a fave "bourbon chicken" glaze or sauce recipe?

    My understanding is that there is NOT actually bourbon in it but is called such as the dish originated on Bourbon Street. No idea. I can tell you there are number of food vendors that sell it at fairs/etc here and it's kinda big deal. Seems like it's a spin on teriyaki. Any help appreciated.
