Buy a thermometer.

In the meantime cook it until it looks done, then poke it between the breast and thigh. The juice should come out clear. If it's still pink, it needs more time. You can also just give it a feel. Cooked chicken should feel firm instead of wobby/rubbery.

Worst case, if you think it's done and it turns out it isn't you can always part it up and finish the parts individually, which makes it easier to judge doneness.

But you really just want a thermometer.

Yeah buy a thermometer, because the time's gonna change if you use a different pan, if you have some veggies in there etc.

In a heavy dutch oven (lid off) with some root vegetables and a 5lb brined chicken it takes me closer to 45m at 425 then another 10-15 at 350.

Turtlicious probably means 20'/#, not 20' total. But it'll depend on your roasting pan, how the bird was raised, whether it's been brined or injected, &c.

Those are okay, but you probably want to check it regularly because they like to go out of calibration.

If you're not really strapped for cash, I'd suggest just waiting for ThermoWorks to have a sale on the ChefAlarm or DOT, which are both remote probe thermometers. The advantage with a probe setup is that you don't have to keep opening your oven to check the temperature. And I recommend ThermoWorks just because they're consistently reliable. The ChefAlarm is usually US$60 and the DOT US$40 but if you're patient they always go on sale, show up in open box events, or whatever.

Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.



A while ago I BBQ's some chicken hearts, and they turned out great.

I decided to try turkey hearts next, on the basis of bigger = better. But trying to saute a few in a pan (with garlic and onions, nothing fancy) they turned out to be fairly stringy and chewy.

The internet turned out be quite short of good turkey heart bbq / marinade recipes, so I turn to the thread.

Roux made with bacon fat instead of butter. Wow!

Ok, so more experienced chefs will give this post a great big "duh!" but hopefully this tip can help a noob like me. I make mac and cheese every other week for my toddler, who's hooked on the stuff. I've added crumbled-up bacon to the mix. But then you only get the bacon flavor when you get a bacon bit on your fork. This time I used bacon fat instead of butter in the roux. The whole dish tastes like smoky bacon and cheddar. I didn't put a single bit of bacon in the dish, yet it tastes far more bacon-y than ever before.

Now I'm off to start making rouxs with any type of fat I can find...

Spatchcock it if you want to cook it even faster (remove the backbone and flatten it out in the pan)

Assuming a HOT charcoal grill, not long. 6-10 minutes depending on how thick the strips are.

I've got a propane grill, and I've read online to turn the heat on high. However, there is a lot of different stuff online, so I'm going to come to the forums food people to find out more.

Toss with olive oil and salt, and roast like any other root vegetable. They're delicious.

So they're pretty small then? You might try a test one for 2-3 minutes a side on a preheated grill. Marinating the beef wouldn't be a terrible idea either since it sounds like you have lots of surface area.

This person knows whats up. I tried roasting radishes a couple weeks ago and they are sweet and delicious, also been throwing a sliced radish into stir fries.

I don't know what you call it, I don't think it's technically pickling (marinating?) but I reuse pickle jars, cut up cucumbers, add vinegar, brine, and spices, and after a few days we eat them. Well I started adding radishes and they are delicious that way too.

So, I learned something today.

Six minutes on one side, then four on another on thin strips of steak equals well done steak. However, it was still tasty, juicy, and I could cut it with a table fork.

That's because of the cut of meat and the marinade. Chuck is heat tolerant and the marinade helps retain moisture as well. Do that again with eye of round and you'd likely get boot leather.

The main factor in cooking time, given a constant heat, is the thickness of the meat to the center, followed by overall mass.

Wait a second, I thought he said he had round steak...

Ok, I just checked and at first he said round steak then he said chuck eye, I'm wondering what exactly it is because those are very different cuts.

Toast -> butter -> sliced radish -> flake salt. Other herbs, dried or fresh, optional.

Unfortunately, this only uses about 1 medium radish per serving. Fortunately, radishes last a long while in my crisper drawer.

Slice as thin as possible across the grain, marinate with a tiny bit of baking soda and soy sauce, stir fry hella hot and fast.

Costco has nuts for much cheaper than that. Selection is decent – you can get raw and roasted of many kinds – and some are organic if that's what you want. They aren't in bulk bins but they are in bulk amounts.

I've got a potluck coming up and I've got an idea: Colombian steak deviled eggs! I'm going to marinade and sous vide a steak, then put really thin slices into the eggs under the filling. My question is what to do with the filling? I'm already planning on mincing a habanero and mixing that in, but what else should I do to make it fit the theme? Or will the smoked paprika on top be enough spice on its own?

msg and salt are different things. glutamates don't really do anything to the food like salt does, so marinating etc don't work exactly the same.
