Tangles Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Roast duck on a school night. Crispy skin and nice and juicy inside. First time I have cooked a full duck so pleased with the results. Roti worked well. My dad seasoned it. Will need to know what he did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Wow indeed. That duck looks great @Tangles. I am imagining my teeth breaking through the crisp skin and then chewing the nice moist meat beneath. Ooh, yum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) @tekobo Now that's a blue steak, even by my standards! Next time do the double experiment and sous vide first. I think you'll be amazed at the results. Nice looking duck, Tangles! Edited June 8, 2018 by tony b 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Not a KK cook. This is my kryptonite. Rhubarb pie. My superpowers are definitely failing as I wait for it to cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I love rhubarb pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Instead of rhubarb pie I made a pizza pie. Busy for the last several days working on getting my garden done even though I had to wear my winter coast it was so cold. I can see the end, thank goodness. Tekobo, sorry I just couldn't bring myself to make and an amoeba pie. This pie was done in the oven and and I know it would have tasted better done in the KK but I am just too tired. Baked. Add some basil from the garden. The crust is nice and light. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Lovely looking cooks. Do Americans do crumbles or just pies? Rhubarb crumble is a nice variation. It was pizza night here last night. I screwed up the dough, too wet for some reason, but was rescued by our new Italian toppings. Wow. Lardo is great on pizza. Still not round like @MacKenzie's but will keep working at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not round like @MacKenzie's but will keep working at it. Crumbles, cobblers, crisps. You name it. Americans eat it. And airline seats keep getting smaller. I had hoped to make this: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/04/rhubarb-crisp-recipe.html But the in-laws are visiting, handed me a bag of rhubarb from their “garden” (a single rhubarb plant they thought was a weed until I showed up), and insisted on pie. So pie it is. When it comes to rhubarb, there are 11 types of people: Heathens (haters), purists (must be prepared with NO other fruits), infidels (those that think it requires strawberries or some such nonsense). Guess which camp I’m in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess which camp I’m in? How odd. I always thought there was only one type - purists. I empathise with your in-laws. I have five rhubarb plants on the allotment. We eat a LOT of rhubarb desserts through the winter. Try the rhubarb fool from this link: https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/foodanddrink/darinaallen/april-bloomfields-rhubarb-fool-with-cardamom-cream-and-pistachios-224799.html It is great layered into jam jars and it means you have dessert already to go ahead of time. I have even sent friends home on the train with their very own takeaway jam jar dessert and a spoon. It is that good. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Ru barb? haven’t had any that I can recall. I’ll ask my daughter about making me a pie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) There are very few rhubarb purists that I’ve found in the US. They seem to be mostly clustered in the Midwest - land of my youth. Ruining rhubarb with strawberries is the usual approach on either coast. Except in California, where they like to sneak kale into everything. @Bruce Pearson - put rhubarb on the list after you down that Vegemite. Resist temptation to ruin the rhubarb with kale or strawberries. @tekobo - I’m no fool, but I shall surely try your fool.

Bruce Pearson Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hey I know what I’ll do! I put the Vegemite on the rhubarb like peanut butter on celery hows that sound? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I’m cooking a tri tip this Sunday for my birthday (75) sheeeesh where did the time go? Anyway I’ll be cooking it on my Traeger grill. I bought it a couple years before I got my KKand have never used it, so thought might as well give it a try, even though I kinda feel like a traitor to my beautiful KK. I’ll ask my daughter to make a rhubarb pie as a birthday present lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonFire Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Cover the KK so it doesn't get jealous, and happy birthday mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I second that, @BonFire. Have a lovely birthday @Bruce Pearson. It sounds like you will be experimenting with rhubarb pie AND a go on your Traeger. I admire the fact that you are trying out all this new stuff and hope it all turns out nice.
