I just did the pressure cooker barbecue ribs again tonight. I pressure cooked some untrimmed pork spareribs for 20 minutes and yes they do come out of the pressure cooker looking awful gray and nasty. Then I applied my rub which was nothing but brown sugar and ground cloves, that's it. I smoked them on a fire with apple wood chips. It was an indirect fire at 300° for the duration. The ribs smoked to a beautiful mahogany bark for two hours before I took them off. They came out fantastic as usual! I took a short 50 second video but could not get the damn thing to upload sorry about that. I have them under foil and towels right now and do not want to take that off to take a picture because I don't want to lose the heat but when Penny gets home to eat and I uncover them I'll snap a photo. I'm pretty sure I can get the photo to upload where the video would not. Brown sugar and ground cloves may seem like an odd rub but it sure makes for some tasty pork ribs! They come out super moist and succulent this way because they only spent two hours on the fire instead of 4, 5 or 6 hours which would allow them to lose that much more moisture. Try this rub on a little test rack of ribs to see if you like it.

What is the grill you are using for now?

ODK prep for winter in Kerrville: Put on a pair of shorts, grab a beverage, go out back and cook something.

Veggie? What's that?

Nope. Go get it looked at tomorrow. Don't wait a week. If it needs a stitch it needs it now. I am f serious.

Played golf today in shorts and short sleeves. Got sweaty...

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, roadside chicken style.

danioro had a braai thread a few years ago...

As long as we are bumping chicken threads let's not forget this one: http://komodokamadoforum.com/topic/3118-loaf-pan-chicken/?hl=%2Bloaf+%2Bchicken

Unbelievable. The new fuse fixed it. I am stunned, and pleased. Four bucks and 15 minutes later, all is well. I have no hesitation to recommend the Secura and get the three year warranty from Amazon.

I took out the old fuse and am awaiting arrival of the new fuse. I suppose a thermal fuse could have some sort of intermittent weird conductivity but I normally think that a fuse is either blown or functioning. Standby for an update once I replace the fuse.

There are some nice homes available down here in Texas.

Cook a pork shoulder on Sunday. Best first cook!

Ken, Tony, Ed, Michael hello you guys!!!

Never heard of it but have some en route to try. Thanks for the tip.

I understand many people have reasons they will not wish to do this. However, if you don't mind doing it, how about adding your first name to your signature line? Or even your last name if you don't mind going that far. Not at all necessary, it just might make things a little more familial; and club KK is nothing else if not very familial!

OK, Secura is sticking to the one year warranty. They said to change the fuse but I doubt that is the issue because a blown fuse should result in total failure, which I don't have. I have weirdo electrical gremlins. I might change the fuse anyway just to see. I would buy the Secura from Amazon with the 3 year warranty, definitely.

Where is the Black and Tan rescue you speak of?

The temperature can be all over the place and you still get a great result. In the past I talked about the hybrid hot fast where you start out at a more typical temperature like 225 for the first phase of the cook and then after you wrap in paper bump it up to 300 something. For example you could start at 225 and then go play golf. When you get back you should still have plenty of time to hit 165 or thereabouts before you wrap it in paper. Then kick the fire temperature up to 300,325 or 350. There is a tremendous amount of flexibility available to you in this cook. As you quite obviously discovered!!

One Black and Tan Coonhound, four Treeing Walker Coonhounds, and a Beagle... all rescues. Dixie there in my avatar is actually a Treeing Walker mix. She was fixing to be euthanized in Dallas and I called up there and said wait one day and I will come get her. Someone chained her to a fence and then moved out. One of the best saves ever!!!

I did notice that if you buy the Secura six in one from Amazon you can get a three year extended warranty for about eight or nine bucks and I would absolutely take that deal!

I am using the Secura 6 in 1 but after 2 1/2 years the electronics on it are starting to fail. I am in communications with Secura about this right now so hold off on buying a Secura until I find out what kind of support I'm going to get from them. For $105 I expect it to last a little bit longer; although I am quite sure it is out of warranty they might do something. According to the Amazon reviews they are very good with customer service. The other product that people really like on Amazon is called Instant Pot. Look for a pressure cooker with a stainless steel pot rather than nonstick. They are very easy to clean and you don't have to worry about those supposed health issues with the nonstick stuff although I have no idea how true that bullshit really is.

Penny got that couch at an estate sale and we've been talking about recovering it for years but it is so crapped out we let the dogs get on it. It looks like something from your grandmothers parlor!

Do not expect your first few pressure cooks to come out perfect, there is a little bit of a learning curve but once you get it down you will be thrilled with your results . Go here: http://www.hippressurecooking.com/ And here: http://missvickie.com
