  1. Very, very nice. Great to see the comparison between the two. Thanks.
  2. Best part of the holidays is cookies! Nicely done.
  3. Nothing wrong with using a Guru "crutch." I use mine on almost all long cooks (>2 hours). My KK is on an elevated deck in a windy spot, so I don't fret temps getting away from me by using it. Peace of mind.
  4. No, Mackenzie, the applesauce goes on top after they are cooked. Doesn't make them mushy. I got "trained" in latkes by my Jewish friends a long time ago.
  5. Plus, I don't like that it makes the crust mushy and I'm not a big sauce guy to start with.
  6. Game on! Can't wait to see them in action. Why just the wings - do the whole bird!!
  7. Where's the applesauce for the latkes, MacKenzie?
  8. No, they're in boxes in the basement, too! I have 3 shelves of cookbooks in my kitchen for the ones that I refer to most. The 3 ft stack on the floor in the guest room are the most recent acquisitions. The boxes in the basement are for the ones that I bought, read and pushed aside, as I knew that I most likely would never cook out of them.
  9. I checked that service out a while back, I think when Pequod first posted it. While it sounded like a good idea at first, it hit me that I'd have to gather up all my cookbooks (hundreds), type in their names into the list, and then when I did a search, try to remember where that book is stashed - they're scattered in boxes all over the house. I'd be more inclined to use it if it pulled the actual recipe up for you to print out, so I didn't have to go rummaging for the book.
  10. Can't wait to see the pictures! What a Merry Christmas it's going to be around your house! I see Christmas dinner cooking on the new KK!
  11. @Dirtman - that's why she's our KK Goddess!
  12. Pizza #2 looks even better than Pizza #1, which is hard to believe! @ Dirtman - they are hard to source, as the supply is limited each year. I think someone else here recently found some here: https://www.worldspice.com/spices/pepperberry-tasmanian
  13. Serious sammie, Aussie!
  14. I have actually stabbed myself - yet, but usually find a way to slice a finger - typically on the tine NEXT to the one that I'm trying to insert into the meat. I should probably look into getting another one of those gloves myself. I have no idea what happened to my old one?
  15. Not complicated, just drawn out over several days. I just follow Wilburpan's classic method on here. The biggest challenge for me in the past was how to blow air under the skin to separate it from the body. Then I read some online posts to use one of those air pumps used to inflate air mattresses. I got this one on Amazon and it worked like a charm! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FE9CGE What I'm looking forward to the most this time around is being able to do it on the rotisserie. I didn't have it the last time I did a duck (it's been a while!) If the weather cooperates, I'll take pics on the grill, but will definitely take some of the process, too.
  16. One thing that I hope you figured out right away - OctoFork tines are damn sharp! Never a problem skewering anything with them, including my fingers! I have learned to be very careful so as not to slice a finger pushing meat onto the tines.
  17. Just bought one. It's destined for Peking Duck on New Years Day!
  18. Just that we're seriously hip is all!
