I still need to get me a grill basket like you have another “gadget” that will need storage. I love the fact that the guy asked if you’re having a party, but when you’re cooking good food night as well make a lot and store it. Lovely meal you and the Mrs put together. Happy New Year I think a grill basket is pretty easy to clean - contact area is much smaller due to the grain of the mesh and I find that they clean up well. If that helps persuade you. Also can be stored easily in the KK or hung off a hook as they're so light. Happy New Year to you too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hard. Anyone can do it. The key ingredients are available from Amazon. I measured the skewer just now and it was 11 3/4 inches. I had to push it to the back of the KK for it to fit under the done but that was no problem. I’ll do the instructions tomorrow That meal looked awesome. Look forward to the instructions. If my wife sees your post, I fully expect a trompo stand to enter our lives in 2021! Looks similar to a Shawarma in method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Very nice al pastor! Sorry, dudes, but $50 for a garlic press is a bit over the top. I'll stick to my Oxo. Plus, most chefs don't recommend using one in the first place (One of Alton Brown's infamous "unitaskers.") Most of the time, I just smash the cloves on the cutting board with the side of a chef's knife and a quick mince. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use their spoons - brilliant for non stick. Was about £15 if I recall which is going rate for anything of that sort. Depends on what I'm cooking or how much of a hurry I'm in. I use the two bowl method to peel and then throw into a Bamix if I'm doing a lot or I do chef knive and crush method you use for marinades. It's a well made piece of kit, can't fault it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braai-Q Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Pizza and naan night tonight in our household. Pizza was good, Mrs BQ has been varying the salt content based on how long we have to prove the dough. I think there is a biochemist trying to get out. The reduction in salt content does reduce the elasticity or rather the bases when stretched out are more prone to tearing. Interesting how micro adjustments (reducing salt by a couple of grams) manifests itself so obviously. Topping was homemade passata (San Marzano home grown) with French goat's cheese, saucisson sec, caramelised onion, mozzarella and prosciutto. The naan was a complete failure. I forgot to make the dough as I got distracted with a DIY job that was more complicated than originally thought so I think that'll be for curry night next Saturday. Been meaning to do it for ages. Had some brioche that was nearly stale and decided to do a bread pudding dessert. Brioche soaked in custard (made from milk, egg, Bourbon (Woodford Reserve in this case), vanilla essence. Add banana and pecan (my wife doesn't like nuts so had to forego), leave to soak for up to an hour prodding it to let the brioche absorb the custard. Sprinkle with demerara sugar and then bake for just under an hour at about 180 which was a good use of the residual heat in the KK. Serve with some vanilla ice cream. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Meatloaf and potatoe scallop for dinner this evening. Both dishes were cooked on the 16 inch KK. We are under a heavy snowfall warning. Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. First I'll have to get Little Barbie the snow blower out. That little thing will out blow machines two or three times the size. Edited January 3, 2021 by MacKenzie 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would call out the national guard if we ever had a snowfall like that. At least you have a refrigerator full of comfort food. 😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 @Troble just for you, buddy! The scene outside my patio doors this morning. It's called Rime ice (frozen fog). Not to be confused with "hoar" frost! LOL 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Tony b. I love the snow and ice. We had freezing rain last week which is beautiful. The roads were too warm to freeze so it made it very pretty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Exactly, Tony. The air is soooo clean and fresh not to mention how bright and clean things are after a snowfall. I LOVE IT. This year is very warm for January -5 to 0 C, I'm still wearing my spring jacket. Not sure how much longer this is going to last, but the forecast is good up to at least the middle of the month. I have a bucket in the ODK with pork loin curing. I leave it out all day and bring it in at night. Expect to smoke it probably Fri. Edited January 5, 2021 by MacKenzie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
