  1. Nice looking dinner, ck, yummie.
  2. I have another batch underway but not sure if I can try the fry part tomorrow or not, but Thurs for sure I should some something to report, good or bad who knows. Enjoy the other dinner plans.
  3. You know where this container is going to end up when the ship hits the dock.
  4. and Jon, just wait until you lift the lid using the hinge, oh my goodness it is shear pleasure.
  5. It maybe that we will still have to fry twice but I like the idea of doing SV for the first cooking procedure rather than a pot on the stove. The SV is just so predictable. As you said if you are going to fry once it won't be much more work to fry twice. It would be easy to do the double fry once the potato is cooked inside. We'll enjoy the experimenting:) Thanks for the input Syzgies and I'm sure I will be trying those pan fried potatoes with the ghee too.
  6. Tony, you sure did a lot of experimentation. I do like the interior of the fries cooked at 194 F for 15 mins. It's getting the crispy outside that we need to figure out. I wonder if frying at a lower temp. say starting at 350F drop the fries in and that will extend the frying time and perhaps we would get a thicker crust of fried potato on the outside leaving a creamy inside. I am going to try another batch where I do a soak out of the cut fries to get rid of some of the starch, add some vinegar, SV, freeze then fry at 350F. In the end I want to be able to SV the cut potatoes and freeze for later use. It would be great to just be able to pull some out of the freezer and fry for dinner. That's my goal. BTW, I have bought some extra butter to make ghee;)
  7. mk1, that is an awesome looking pulled pork slider.
  8. They still need to maintain the crispness for longer but they sure tasted great.
  9. tinyfish, that brisket sure looks tasty, what a great cook and the best news is that you will get to enjoy it for a few more days. Now all you need is some rye bread and a little cheese for the best sandwich ever.
  10. What do you mean bryan?
  11. I cooked the frozen ones and while they were a little more crispy, they are far from what I want. The good news is that I did like the interior and they did taste very good. The oil was hotter this time 370. It may have worked better if I'd stuck with 355-360F as the temp before putting the potatoes in the oil. Can't say I'm suffering having to eat these fries.
  12. I find the one Dennis suggests, the OneGrill Roti, to be very good, but that is no surprise is it.
  13. I may have to make ghee.
  14. Thanks, Syzgies. I just finished a batch and cut the potatoes 3/8th by 3/8th sous vide for 15 mins at 194F. At this point they were just cooked. Cooled them to room temp. then deep fried in Avocado oil, starting temp. 360F, for 5mins. The potatoes were sprayed with oil before SVing. They do bubble up and the bubbles have died down some for this pix- After 5 mins. in the oil they look great. Here they are on the paper towel and lightly salted. Back to the drawing board, they didn't stay crisp, tasted fine but soft. I have a few more already SVed potatoes to test tomorrow;)
  15. That's a great idea. We all know how helpful that can be.
  16. Beautiful, PJ, gotta love those teeth and hair too. That is a definite winner.
  17. vkl, lots of very tasty goodies on your 32 inch grill.
  18. Gorgeous cook, absolutely delicious, I just wish I could actually taste it in real like.
  19. Guess I should have trick or treated at your house:)
  20. That's what I'm thinking and I sure hope it works as I find the double frying a pain. Some even say fry, freeze and then fry again. I hope to try another batch tomorrow. Stay tuned or try it.
