  1. Sous vide some carrots fresh out of the garden and then seared them on the Konro. Ricing potatoes - There is a story here. Many moons ago I bought a Braun machine with all the attachment that was supposed to do everything. Well it did but did nothing well and I swore I'd never buy all the attachments again, just get the machine and use it for what it was mainly designed to do. I need a mixer several years ago and settled on the Electrolux Assistent from Sweden which is now called Ankarsrum mixer. I bought a couple of attachments and they worked so well I bought most of them, except the cookie press. It has been a work horse in my kitchen. The last time I had creamed potatoes I used my hand ricer which I hate, it's messy and takes a lot of effort. So today I though just maybe my Electrolux would work. Sure enough it worked perfectly. I know how I'm ricing potatoes from now on. I use it for bread making, pasta, grating cheeses, nuts, etc. I think I've beaten this drum to death. Dinner is plated.
  2. Best taken internally.[emoji16]
  3. Aussie, dinner is looking tasty indeed.
  4. Geo, thanks, the temp. 350F for about an hour until the I. T. reached about 145F.
  5. Love it, no mess at all. No pans, nothing, just the rod.:)
  6. I had some old Primo Pork rub that someone gave me years ago and I am in the use or throw it out mood, so I used it.
  7. Thanks, you are going to love the spit rod. I also have the OctoForks and love those. Sounds like you are going to have a fun trip.
  8. Just the KK pizza stone is required. I'd aim for 500-550F and heat soak for about an hour, if you have an IR thermometer you can check the stone temperature.
  9. Thanks, Foothill, I did this for future meals but I did eat one slice to see how it tasted and then I ate another just to confirm.
  10. Here we go- Ready to spin. Roast is done. Resting. Sliced. Clean up, 1 mins. just the rod.
  11. Congratulations on the baby and glad to see you getting a chance to use the KK more. #3. The rubber bung comes out and you will notice if you look very carefully there is a split in the rubber so you can open it up and get the probe wires in before inserting it back into the hole in the KK. If the bend in the probe is too much to allow you to feed it in through the hole of the KK you can straighten the probe just enough to get it through. I put my probe between two decking boards and ever so gently straightened it just enough so I could feed it in thru the hole of the KK. Hope this helps some. #4. I have never used that big heavy duty heat diffuser but have used the stainless one.
  12. Wow, talk about a great first cook on the Konro. Love the charcoal, I just wish I had some. One of these days I'll give some chicken wings a go. Great way to put out the binchotan. Didn't I read you could also put it in a bucket of water?
  13. What an awesome collection of peppers. It will be interesting to see how you use them. I see that fish pepper, hope it is for fish and doesn't taste like fish.
  14. Alimac, dinner is looking and sounding extra tasty. Thanks for posting the links.
  15. I can speak from experience on that Steve You only need to get them wet once to learn that lesson.
  16. Thanks, Tucker, I think I'll give them a try.
  17. The few times I used the Baking Steel in the KK I had to be careful or the bottom of the pizza or bread would get too dark. That's the beauty of the KK stone, I don't have to worry about the bottom getting too dark before the top cooks. I do love the steel for pizza in my oven for the winter.

    Bottling Summer

    Bruce, that reminds me of another story. I was in Belgium in the summer and it was hot hot hot, a friend and I went to a cafe to get a cold drink. I asked for a coke, although I really wanted a Pepsi, then I said, "Is it warm?" She responded with, "Don't be silly, it's not warm." When I the drink arrived, I took one sip, yikes, it was warm, revoltingly so on such a hot day. I then realized that when you ask is it warm, they think you mean is it heated. I'll never forget that drink.
  19. I don't know if Baking Steel steel does this or not but they used to make custom steels. You could ask them if they can do one to fit your KK. Mind you I perfer the KK stone in the KK and the steel in the oven.[emoji16]
  20. Yes, I did like it, Bruce and my friend has more for me so I am looking forward to try the one with sausage and pork in it.
  21. That chestnut does look like a little brain.
