MacKenzie Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 EGGARY, that is a beautiful chicken, lovely colour.
tekobo Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Nice looking chook @EGGARY. I am longing to enjoy the MEATER as much as you are. Their tech team in the UK tested my replacement thermometer last week and declared it defective. That was a relief because I thought I must be a rubbish user of thermometers! New, tested, one on its way and I see a brisket cook in its future. Hopefully third time lucky. Like you I am keen to get hold of the block, just as soon as I can get the single thermometer working reliably. @tony b do the MEATER updates get uploaded via the app or is there something different or special you need to do to access them?

KlausVanWinkle Posted March 6, 2018 Report Posted March 6, 2018 Went for an Argentinian-style steak dinner this weekend. One of the better steaks I've grilled. We went for an Argentinian-style meal. Grass fed skirt steak. Kosher salt/corn starch rub, with a quick trip to the freezer. Then reverse seared with mesquite smoke. Topped with a chimichurri sauce. My wife added home made sour dough bread, pasture raised butter, and great northern beans cooked in a made from scratch stock. And we opened a 2010 Tempernillo Reserva. Now go through the process with me: 7
MacKenzie Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Made a little flat bread for breakfast this morning. We are in the middle of a nor'easter so no place to go. Add a little Parmesan Cheese. Fold it over and devour. 4
tony b Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Nice, MacKenzie, except for that one little thing! 1 1

MacKenzie Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 The last of the butternut squash until next fall. It has been a while since I did a potato scallop and it just seemed to be the day for some comfort food. 2
tony b Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Inspired by AussieOra's Pineapple Head cook, I decided to give it a go tonight. Pork Steak w/Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head and Purple Crack. To be basted with the Hawaiian BBQ and Pineapple hot sauce from Adoboloco. On the KK direct, @ 300F, with a chunk of peach wood. Done and plated with a nice baked potato and side salad, with crusty bread and a bottle of Syrah/Shiraz. 5
MacKenzie Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Tony, that is a delicious looking and colourful dinner. 1
Paul Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 So I went to the Sonoma County Meat Company and picked up a few goodies. A bacon wrapped pork loin No cooked pics but, believe me it was delicious. A couple rib steaks I got a Anova Sous Vide so I had to try it. Coming up to temp. Steak with garlic and butter And served with some broccoli I also had some baby back ribs that needed to be cooked and I thought I might as well through a pork butt on with them. Here's Bob smoking away About 4 hours in Ribs are done. Another 4 - 5 hours for the butt No plated or pulled pics. It made for excellent night shift meals!! 2
Paul Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 I should mention that in the SV coming up to temp pic I didn't cook my steak to 140. It was dropped down to 112 and a nice rare steak was served.
MacKenzie Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Things are looking good at your house. When I do my steak I usually cook at 132F for the entire cook, a few hours depending upon the thickness, and it will come out looking like a medium rare steak but at that temp and time all the nasties have been taken care of. 1

tony b Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 Nicely done, Paul! Loved the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in that pic, too! For the Record - that pork loin was wrapped in caul fat. That was a major score! My local butcher can almost never get me caul fat when I ask for it. It's the fatty membrane layer that holds all the internal organs in. An almost "must have" if you're making a nice pate or terrine. Bacon is actually a 2nd class substitute in that case. (I know, heresy, bacon is king for almost everything else!) 3
Bruce Pearson Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 Nice cook Paul looks delicious, you really kicked butt! 1
sfdrew28 Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 I’m interested in that wrapped pork butt. Next time I’m up near San Ro I’m stopping in. Pretty sure it’ll be soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
