    Necessity is the mother of invention - Prime Rib single bone holder

    Created this holder by using a couple of hangers. Sanded off the finish and sharpened the tips Hooked the ends so the second ribs act like springs and press into the roast to hold in place. Worked pretty well

    Seared steak stuck to cast iron pan??

    Odd thing is I checked the temp while in the oven and it said 180. Could be mistaken, but steak was like butter. No hard or chewy areas. Costco boneless ribeye. Still have 2 others to try out

    Seared steak stuck to cast iron pan??

    Thanks Responding to all answers Pan was brand new. Never used. I did the edge and thats when I noticed it sticking. Didn't water test as pan had a thin oil layer. Temp on the stove is what I use for breaded chicken or veal cutlets for frying, so hot, but not super hot. Next time. Just...

    Cast iron pan or steel griddle

    Was thinking about buying a 10" Lodge cast iron pan, but I recalled I also have my mothers old Frigidaire steel griddle which I make hamburgers on It's 3/16" thick. Figured I could sear steaks on it. Still testing ways to oven cook thick steaks. Tried a previous method someone mentioned with...

    Oven baked ribs

    Thanks for the info on cooking. Will save and try it next time, but have 4 precooked in the freezer so will be awhile. Not sure on the unit. About $65.00 here in Canada and currently have a Thermopop 2 I bought awhile ago. Not sure how your unit would work with an oven if the door can't be...

    Oven baked ribs

    I make a brisket once or twice per year and first time with ribs. Kind of pointless to buy a smoker for that. Not the best quality ribs and as mentioned. Membrane was tough to remove. Maybe at the end of the year. I'll try better quality Thanks DON

    Oven baked ribs

    So the result Cooked to 204 degrees. Slather on some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and under the broiler for 4 minutes Not bad, but bottom a little charred and chewy. Thing I should have done (and mentioned in one recipe) Drain off any oil/grease on the bottom of foil or swapped onto clean...

    Oven baked ribs

    Thanks. I cut the rack in half due to length. Pulled out some foil (didn't pull enough to wrap side by side) and just decided to go back to a single length. Pans I had wasn't long enough to hold the whole length, so bolted 2 separate ones together. Can test and have my pop to check Thanks DON

    Oven baked ribs

    Looks like babyback. Checked 3 different recipes and 2 said 275 and 3 hours. 3rd said 250 at 3.5 hours. Pretty much the same I guess.
