C6Bill Posted April 6 Report Posted April 6 (edited) I needed some quick meals to stuff in the freezer and pork loin is great for that. I take the whole loin and cut it into 4 2.5 lb sections and cook it low and slow (250) until I get to about 145 internal. It will carry over a little. Then i slice it up and vac seal it. I like to cut it up and add it to salads Edited April 6 by C6Bill 4

tony b Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 @SteveL - it's probably what the KK does best. Almost impossible to overdo it. We actually had a member back in the day do an experiment to see if you could actually dry out a chicken on the KK. NOPE! He gave up after several trials. 1
SteveL Posted April 12 Report Posted April 12 Tony b-that would appear to be true. I pulled it at 170 and it’s still moist and delicious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Needs bold foods as a pairing. Yours is on point! Tannat is up and coming in Virginia, but most need about 10 years of cellaring. What’s That has tamed it into something more fruity and medium bodied. Good everyday red as a young wine. Really nice pairing with grilled pork, lamb or beef.
tony b Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 I recall cellaring a bottle from Bonny Doon for several years. It still had some grip to it.
tony b Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 Got a short break in the weather last night. Threw a steak on with some asparagus. Plated with a 2x baked spuds, shrooms and a salad. Everyday Cab. 5
SteveL Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Last year I bought a salt block and never used it. All winter long I’ve been looking at it and I decided to try it today with my fish infatuation and made Red Snapper with Pipian Sauce. The recipe is coastal Mexican so my wife made delicious TexMex Coleslaw to pair with it. Whoa, delicious!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
