    What'cha cook'in Momma for Mothers day?

    Not this trip.I haven't done any surf casting since I was an 8 YO who spent the whole every summer on Long Island Sound. I still teach climbing and work part-time for my county EMS department and have some work friends who are serious surf fishermen. We're trying to coordinate a trip to the OBX...

    What'cha cook'in Momma for Mothers day?

    @forktender, My parents have been gone for 50 years and my MIL passed away 12 years ago at the age of 92. Nancy and I don't usually pay attention to Mother's and Father's day for each other but since I do most of the fancy cooking around home and all of it on camping trips the last few years...

    gulp!!

    Find a steel supply house and, as has been said, ask for #9 flattened 3/4" expanded metal steel sheet. Cost can vary a good bit by region and supplier. My cost six months ago was $88 a 4x8' sheet delivered to my door (Race City Steel of High Point and Denver, NC). I only order sheet steel a few...

    Shrinkflation - V8 juice

    @chef k-dude, If Wegmans grocery stores are in your area their store brand tuna is still in 6 oz cans and very reasonably priced. We stock up on the solid white albacore when we get near a Wegmans. It really is a solid hunk of tuna without the usual tuna debris and sheds. They sell it in an...

    Air fryer recommendations

    As @SMOKEOCD relates, the All-in-One ovens have their attractions but need some dedicated space to live on. We have a skinny 18" slice of counter between the range and the dining room door that is ideal for the drawer style air fryer. But that space wouldn't work for even a small oven style air...

    Air fryer recommendations

    When we decided to get an air fryer we weren't in a rush. Based on the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen we put a preferred price on Camelcamelcamel.com (an Amazon price tracker) and bought an Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6qt Air Fryer with Odor Erase Technology when there was a steep price...

    RIP Elle Simone Scott

    My wife and I have noted her weight loss over the last few years and, both with medical backgrounds of sorts, wondered if it were a chronic illness. We've been "All Access" members of the America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country/Cooking Illustrated family of websites for years and long since...

    New here from the Carolinas

    Lots of threads here on vacuum sealers etc. We have a Vacmaster chamber sealer and have never regretted the expense. And, if you don't already have one (or two?) freezers, get a big one, vacuum seal the leftovers and freeze them in meal size portions. Edited for clarity.

    New here from the Carolinas

    Welcome from Pinnacle, North Carolina. We're about a half hour north of downtown Winston-Salem. There's an annual Carolinas Smokers Gathering in Concord that has been going on for more than a decade now. It's worth keeping an eye out for the 2026 thread. Unfortunately it has tended to conflict...

    Prime Rib Sale

    Given the 2-3 year time frame to bring beef to market and when the drought/feed shortage that caused the previous beef sell-off and the current beef shortage started to end I suspect beef will remain high for at least a year, especially once retailers and wholesalers realize we're willing to pay...

    Powdered Eggs

    @Jim_C, Your experience was normal for powdered eggs regardless of the marketing hype. Powdered eggs are best reserved for baking. For camping, they are best used when doing things like repackaging baking mixes, off the shelf or homemade, and can be used with fresh milk, non-fat dry milk or...

    Early Christmas gift from the wife.

    Sounds a lot like the old saying that "When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Happy squeezing!

    Anyone know the name of this type of grill?

    Here you go. https://www.jamestownadvanced.com/grills We have one of their 30" fire pit rings set in landscaping blocks in the yard. I ordered a slight variation of a standard pit custom built without the cooking grate and picked it up on a visit to family when in Upstate NY. It's 3/16" thick...

    Can ya recommend a WOK?

    We have a pair of these same Joyce Chen carbon steel woks in 14" size; one has the lid. We use them often for stir fries, steaming in bamboo steamer baskets, deep and shallow frying etc. They are highly rated by America's Test Kitchen if that kind of thing matters to you. Our kitchen range...
