Assuming I only have this bone and am unlikely to have enough other bones to make stock in the near future, is there anything I can do with it other than throw it in the trash? It appears to be uncooked. You could trim off all remaining meat and give it to a friend for their pooch

I'll have access to a BBQ and I have a chimney starter, but I don't think I'll have any electricity. Obviously you're doing a cookout; where? Depending on location you may be able to put a few hot coals in a fire pit or a park grill and do the beans over that with a grate or even just rocks to support your pot. Be creative (and safe), maybe. Hell, you may even be able to use the chimney starter for it.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:It feels wrong to me because I don't buy the idea of sulphur particles sticking to the steel. Were that the case, the steel should smell like sulphur, right? Seems more likely that there's some kind of exchange of electrons causing the sulphur molecules to lose their grip/charge. The surface of stainless steel has a higher oxygen content than non-corrosion resistant steel. My first hypothesis would be that those smelly ions are reduced by free oxygen at the surface, rendering them inert. This is a very superficial metallurgist's guess at what's going on. I'm almost positive it's significantly more complex than that.

I have a ~4.5 lb pork sirloin roast defrosting in the fridge for tomorrow. I'd like to prepare it on the grill, as the weather tomorrow is supposed to be about perfect. No dietary restrictions, and I think I can get most any ingredients I need here, and in fact I'd like a recipe that might push me to do something less traditionally Midwestern. Any suggestions?

I don't *need* to use the pesto but I'd like to if anyone has an idea for something that uses both ground beef and pesto in its recipe. You could just make burgers, slather with pesto and serve on, like, toasted brioche. It's not a recipe but it probably wouldn't be bad. Especially if you add fresh tomatoes and some complementary cheese.

THE MACHO MAN posted:I have left over uncooked corn on the cob from a bbq. 5 ears. Any ideas? I just used some of what I had left to roast up and throw into a bean chili. Succotash. Cut the corn off the cob, add some pierced cherry tomatoes (or plum or whatever small size tickles your fancy), then coat in olive oil, salt and pepper. I like to add diced green chiles from a can for some heat and a bit more depth of flavor. I typically just throw this in a foil packet and let it cook on the cool side of my grill while doing the meat on the hot side, but you can also just throw it all in a covered pan and cook until the tomatoes pop and the corn is a nice bright yellow.

Tyson Tomko posted:Crock pot question. I doubt that the "pot" part of the crock pot has warped, as I'm fairly sure that's a ceramic that will hold up to high temperature just fine. The heating element may have become a bit warped, though. I'd probably try it, and if it gets hot without smoking or otherwise indicating something isn't right, you're probably fine.

Tyson Tomko posted:So far so good (and smelling awesome), thanks! Addendum: were the heating element not in contact with the pot, you'd likely start to hear some popping noise during heat up as the element can't dissipate heat into the pot and instead starts to overheat and locally expand. Doesn't sound like anything's wrong though.

Hm, the recipe I followed didn't call for any liquid other than the ketchup, vinegar, and a bit of mustard. And it turned out so acidic that it both made me gag from the scent and also irritated a giant portion of my gums. I'll try adding another half pound of ground beef and a can of beer and see how it turns out. I figure I can't make it worse than it already is. God, for someone who considers himself a better cook than most, I'm embarrassed to have hosed up sloppy joes.

NESguerilla posted:Is it a bad idea to leave something in the crock pot on low for like, 12-13 hours? I want to start some shredded beef for tomorrow, but will probably want to sleep in sort of late. I haven't had a time in the past where I've had something in there for more than maybe 8 hours so I don't want to gently caress it up, but I imagine it shouldn't be a big deal? If you have an analog crock pot (switch for high/low/off rather than buttons or something) and an outlet timer you could just delay the start. That said, I doubt your food would be flavorless, but it might be mushy. I've never done a 12 hour crock pot session before.

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:Radish greens are absolutely amazing for saag. Beet greens, chenopodium, whatever you have are a good addition. My favorite saag is sarson ka saag, but you can go a lot of ways with it. I'd use some spinach and kale if you don't want to seek out special greens and don't have any. Radish greens on their own can be a little plain, though they have an excellent texture and taste. Sweet, I'll ask my Indian friend () if he knows how to make saag and has a recipe. Else I'm sure I can find something online. I'll check the wiki.

I've never done a non-Campbell's soup and lovely Kraft singles variant but was looking to branch out. When I was in college I used to make grilled cheese with Kraft, but I would add deli salami or roast beef and make it with rye bread. True, this may now technically be called a melt, but it's drat tasty and easy. Now I would make it with shredded cheddar or pepper jack or whatever you like instead of the Kraft, but the important point is to try different breads and/or meat fillings.

Shooting Blanks posted:Roasting a chicken tonight and cannot find my drat meat thermometer. How long should I roast a 6.5 pound chicken, or should I do something else tonight and just buy a new thermometer tomorrow I cooked a chicken of nearly identical size about 45 minutes on each side, breast and back, over a roasting pan full of veggies with a tarragon/thyme butter mashed under the breasts, and spread over the back at flipping time. 450 F oven. You may want to overshoot that a bit just to be safe. It's a roast chicken, so it won't necessarily be inedible dry and bad if it's overcooked some. You can and should make a pan sauce or gravy with the drippings to mask any overcooking. I was lazy and added about 3 oz of box white wine along with cutting board drippings from the rest period and about half a container of boxed broth, and thickened with some onions I caramelized then blended till slightly chunky and Wondra (told you I was being lazy).

Casu Marzu posted:I would not roast pork to 130ish unless you really, really, really like the texture of raw pork AND you're getting the pork from a trusted source. A few years back the USDA revised the suggested internal temp for pork from something like 165 or 170 F down to 145 or so. The bacteria that caused the higher temp requirement has apparently been eradicated in the US pig population. That said, agreed that 130F sounds pretty low to me, and you don't really need to worry about cooking pulled pork to a certain doneness. If you're doing it properly, a hell of a long time in some fatty liquid at low temp will cook the meat through, and you'll know it's done by tenderness alone.

The smoke was pretty bad but didnt stink and dad kept venting it; the food turned out very good. I'm sure we took a risk eating that chicken but its been a few days and so far no ones got a lacerated intestine yet so we might have made it through ok. You basically made some obsidian-like dust, I imagine. Probably generated a lot of tiny glass particles when the piece shattered, which then oxidized heavily at a relatively high temperature, resulting in the blackish powder you see. It's deposited onto the glass chunks but you may also find it on the floor of your oven. I'm indulging my own conjecture here, so I'm sure chemmy will come by and insult then correct me soon enough.
