Why would you refrigerate bacon grease? :psyduck: Do you refrigerate your vegetable oil? Butter is a little more delicate, since it hasn't been rendered but separated, and even so you can usually keep it on the counter for weeks.

While I agree with most of this. Butter is really dependent on you location and ambient temps. Living in Az has change my butter habits of leaving it on the counter :( I love soft butter but got to be careful with it in the summer months.

That looks incredible, but newbie question: does the amount of time you SV something matter? I got one for Christmas this year and it made even a cheap steak taste like heaven, but that was only for 2 hours. I have some strip steaks ready to cook that way, but I need some more plastic bags before I can do so.

Yes time matters especially when cooking at lower temps as it provides more time for collagen to break down. It does vary for different meats. Like I don't think cooking a ribeye or beef tenderloin is going to get you anything after a couple of hours. Things like brisket, pork belly, flank/hanger steaks, ribs do benefit from longer cooks but there is a cut off. Take a look at this chart for brisket. where they keep temps same but show over time the changes. Also read some of the description of the recipe and how it changes the meats.

Alright, did the welly today. I'm not sure what I expected. It was good but not sure it was worth the effort. Also I'm not a huge mushroom fan so maybe that has something to do with it. I'd be interested to have it out at a restaurant to see how it compares.

Most of us in the western world, with white parents, experienced vegetables as children as "here's some Boiled Plants" and so we mostly have hangups where we expect you have to do a Lot to make them taste great. I'm not making assumptions on your background, it's just a very common thing to not really have this general childhood-level knowledge that vegetables are easy to make delicious.

Why can’t the kids have ramen?! I’ll take the fish sticks though as a pre-ramen snack...

It's not a can't issue. It's a want issue. They are still trying to figure out what they like. At the very least I got them to try the broth and I got some interesting face. Yet they will gladly eat pre packaged nissin ramen. As an example the youngest doesn't like jelly on his peanut butter sandwiches. The oldest eats baby carrots with ketchup. Anything I make is too spicy while they are knuckle deep in a bag of spicy Cheetos or takis. They both love broccoli though. Kids are weird.

Hi goons, I'm new to the thread. Please be gentle.



I picked up a simple charcoal grill last weekend. Made kabobs on it first, and today did tacos. Grilled some chicken breasts and pineapples (was a friend's birthday and he likes pineapple so we figured why not), shredded the chicken, seasoned half with taco seasoning and the other half got teriyaki sauce. Had a side of fajita vegetables, cheese, the aforementioned grilled pineapple, lime wedges, pico, and guac (the latter were store-bought because it's a weeknight and we were lazy).

Nice, Looks delicious. Keep it up and post more pictures!

Spinach artichoke & havarti stuffed pork chops.

Have tons of extra time to cook so figured I'd make this for a monday night dinner. Asparagus is a bit overcooked but meh.



Meat Pocket. To only be used for cooking!

Wilt spinach, squeez out excess moisture.
Dice artichoke harts
Grate your Havarti




Garlic salt, pepper, Parm & olive oil.



Same dish from ages ago before I knew how to cook, take better photos, plate etc. It's cool to see the changes. I question how it was even edible, I was proud of it back then too.

:holy: truly inspirational. I'm gonna try your recipe and not change a drat thing! Did you pipe the filling in? Do you sear the bacon edges on screaming hot or just high heat?

Make sure you have some pretty meaty 1.5-2in porkchops.

When making your meat pocket try to keep the entry hole small. I don't know how to explain how to cut the pocket but here it goes. You want to face the blade left. Push the tip all the way to the right wall of the pork chop. Wait till you feel the poke of the tip of knife though the wall. You're probably going to poke your fingers Then you move the pork chop back and forth on the blade all the while moving the point up the right hand side, to the back and down the left side of the pork chop. This should make the inside pocket as big as possible. I do pipe the filling it. It takes some technique. Here are some suggestions on the filling.

for 2 pork chops I use
10-12oz if spinach
Wilt that down. let cool a bit. Then squeeze out the excess moisture, there is more than you think.
Grate 4oz of Havarti
Dice on the small side your artichoke hearts
Chop the spinach then combine all 3 add to piping bag

Try not to over fill the pork chops as they will turn rounded and not get a good crust/sit flat in the pan. As for heat it's med high/high. Just something that's going to get me a good sear. I intentionally don't sear the bottom as they are going to sit in the pan while it finishes in the oven.

Cook time for ~150f @ 400 is about 15-ish min

A lot of secret family recipes are like this. I remember reading that someone collected like 200+ 'secret' recipes and of those something like 90% were exactly or almost exactly the same as a recipe found on a can of evaporated milk printed in the 40's or something.

Edit: I can't find it. I found the reddit thread where I think someone was talking about it but can't seem to find the comment where they linked the article.

NICE! That's cool to see someone else take a stab at something that I've worked on over the years. The peppers are a nice touch too. Yeah there is so much liquid that comes out of the spinach. I've never blended my stuffing just because :effort: dicing has always worked.

How'd you like them? Hope it was a nice change from standard porkchop. As for the leftovers Chicaroones is always delicious and like you said make pork stock for uh...chashu ramen, idk.

Looks good. Is that a cedar plank? Is there *any* nuance of the cedar in the fish after cooking (scent wise)?

I've done this with planks and the fish can pick it up pretty easily and can almost be overpowering at times. Costco was selling the planks and it had a recipe for one of my favorite salmon seasonings.

Coastal Cuisine Dry Rub
2 Tbls kosher salt
2 Tbls brown suger
1 Tbls black pepper
1 Tbls garlic powder
1 Tbls dried basil
1 Tbls dried tarragon ( optional )

Edit:
This was one of the other seasonings they listed. Never tried it.

Rockin’ Dry Rub
Ribs, chicken, steak

⅓ cup paprika
2 Tbls chili powder
1 Tbls dried oregano
1 Tbls garlic poweder
2 Tbls celery salt
2 Tbls black pepper
2 teaspoons mustard seeds

This was the recipe
Rockn’ dry rub ribs
Presoak planks for 2 hours. May need 2.
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
2 rack baby back pork ribs
6 tablespoons of rockn’ dry rub

Mix vinigar, water and two tablespoons dry rub in glass bowl.
Baste the ribs with vinegar micture and place on plank, bone side down. Set on preheated gril and close lid.
Baste and flip ribs every 20 min. Grill for 1 ½ hours or until ribs are brown and meat pulls off.
Remove plank from grill. Baste ribs with remaining sauce & sprinkle Rockin’ dry rub. Cut racks and server.
