tony b Posted March 30 Report Posted March 30 @remi - very nice brisket cook (+ sides!) I'm betting it was the quality of the meat that was the key difference. 2 Quote

Troble Posted March 31 Report Posted March 31 This is a sample of what I’ve been cooking on the KK lately, lot of chicken breast used for other things this is a Mexican bowl and I used my ONE Fueryr avocado that I got from the tree I planted four years ago to just aji a the avocado instead of making guacamole. Fuerte is one of my favorites and I’m looking forward to staring to grow my harvest exponentially this year 5 Quote

Fresh home grown avocado. I think I need to move to warmer climes! 2 Quote
Troble Posted March 31 Report Posted March 31 @tekoboi planted 7 different types so that they would bloom during various months of the year. This Fuerte is moving the slowest 1 avo in year 4. My others gave me 1-2 in year 2/3, 10-15 In year 3-4 1 Quote
Troble Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 This is the other stay I’ve been cooking which you’ve all seen 100x pork tenderloin with air fryer potatoes tossed it duck fat and dusted with Parmesan cheese once removed too lazy to even cook a veg! 3 Quote
C6Bill Posted April 1 Report Posted April 1 (edited) When I'm too lazy to cook a veggie i just use the birdseye steamfresh veggies, typically brussel sprouts. They get the job done Edited April 1 by C6Bill Quote

They get the job done Well I planned to do grilled carrots or asparagus but just too busy managing work and kids being home from spring break, but will pick up some of those Brussels sprouts next time iM at the store sounds like a great idea……thanks @C6Bill 2 Quote

Pulled myself out of that rabbit hole when I remembered that I probably eat no more than 2 avocados a year and that increasing my intake by the magic of shopping might be a better option. 4 Quote

David Chang Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 baby back ribs havent cooked on the kk in a long time but still nailed my temp in two adjustments.. 6 Quote
tony b Posted April 11 Report Posted April 11 Home from vacation and it was warm enough to fire up the KK for dinner last night. Pork Chop and Corn. This early in the season, I'm guessing the corn is from FL? It was OK - a bit tough (expected if shipped from that far away), but it did have a bit of sweetness to it, so not all bad. Direct, main grate, 325F, with a chunk of peach. (BTW - just got my box from Fruita. Sad to see them go!) 5 Quote
Tyrus Posted April 11 Report Posted April 11 The KK missed yah, and no that doesn't look like Iowa corn, they say Iowa corn is as high as an elephants eye...but how would I know, never been to Iowa, only on a map. 1 1 Quote

remi Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 (edited) One of my favourite meals to cook on the KK is paella. Especially since moving to our new house, which has an induction cooktop. Steel paella pans are never perfectly flat, so induction cooking is a pain. And then there is the mess. Cooking a paella outdoors, over fire, is one of life’s great pleasures. And that’s all traditional paella was- a rice dish cooked over fire in a pan. Having spent some time in Valencia, I’m well versed in traditional paella- and often make a traditional inspired dish with chicken, green beans and sliced Roma tomatoes. At other times- I go maximalist. Tonight, with my parents visiting from interstate, was maximalist. Chorizo, chicken thighs, baby calamari, prawns and mussels with Roma tomato, saffron, spicy smoked and sweet pimenton, fresh rosemary from the garden and green beans on top. My friends always complain that I say that each iteration of a dish was the best ever. They have a point. Nevertheless this was the best paella ever- smoky, spicy, redolent of the aromas of fresh seafood and herbs, the bitter crunch of the soccsrat from the bottom of the pan. Sharpened up with a healthy squeeze of fresh lemon over the top. Heaven. Edited April 14 by remi 8 Quote
