Thanks for this Tony.  You sent me down a rabbit hole, reading up about this food stuff.  I now know that the story about being able to keep American cheese indefinitely outside of a fridge is not apochryphal and is in fact close to the truth.  I also know not to be snobbish about it because it is its own thing with stretchy melty cheese goodness.  Not something I plan to try anytime soon though.  I still like the variability and interest of the real stuff even though it might not always behave as you want it to.  And yes, i know that I can't spell apochryphal and am not even sure if it is the right word to use but I'm going to roll with it.

You do realize that as kids we had no choice and somehow liked it. As adults we carefully read the packages to make sure it never passes our lips ever again. 

 

My son is lucky - I knew better before he was born. He's never had the privalage.

Thanks, Aussie. The whole belly was about 6kg. I cut it in half and froze a section.

This was interesting, I thought I'd make potato scallop and bake squash to go with a precooked frozen beef pattie. 3/4 of the ways thru the veggie cook I unwrapped the pattie only to find out that it was raw. Did a made dash to the KK, fortunately there was old coals in it so I was able to get it heated up very quickly.

Put some of my perfectly melting cheese on top of the burger.

Yes, it happened to me a couple of times this week.

Nice recovery, it looks very tasty.

One more step closer to cheese burgers, I've got the cheese slices and I now have the buns. This was a recipe from King Arthur Flour and my first time for making it but it won't be my last.

[MacKenzie]

Put my cheese and buns into action today, cheeseburgers.

Ground beef chuck roast for the burgers.

Sprinkled pepper and purple crack on top, other spices inside the burgers.

Buns are ready for the star of the show.

 

I almost forgot the tomato slices.  

 

[Bruce Pearson]

Looks delicious Mac. Those are nice looking buns for sure.

@tekobo - you MUST try Drago style oysters. They are seriously fab! There are several "copy cat" recipes. All are good, you can't really go wrong!

So, I took your advice Tony.  Taking your advice was a good thing but my execution needs some refinement.  

I followed the recipe above and the Drago oysters were just delicious.  The Husband kept shucking and he, our nephew and I kept eating.  Even nephew's oyster averse girlfriend joined in with bread to mop up the juices.  The downside? I took the instruction to cook over very hot heat a little too literally.  The oyster shells started to pop and send shards and powder all over the kitchen!  I ended up wearing safety glasses to cook.  Next time they are going in the KK on a bed of salt!

Here are some oysters cooking.  Note the new grill bars, courtesy of @ckreef and the KK shopping channel.

And here, at last, are some Nigerian suya chicken wings done on the konro.  I had to keep them away from the super hot centre and they came out nice and juicy and didn't burn, just so long as I kept turning them over.   The gooseberries in the middle were defrosting so that I could use them in a klafoutis that I cooked in the KK.  The white stuff all around is the residue from the delaminating oysters.  As I said at the start, I won't be cooking Drago oysters using this method again!

Very nice Mac.  I just love how the cheese envelopes that burger so nicely. Yum.

Awesome looking cooks everyone!

I’m busy planning a BabyQ, my wife is pregnant and instead of a baby shower she has requested a BabyQ so that everyone can come along and celebrate.

We’ve got about 40 adults and 10 kids coming over in a few weeks, I’ve got a 7kg brisket, 2 big pork shoulders, 4 racks of cape grim beef ribs (I’ll slice each rib into 4) and then we’ll have a load of sausages and chicken wings, loads of salads and breads etc.

Do you think that will be enough for 50ish people?

Here’s the pork belly bao from last night, I love this dish!

Now THAT is something to celebrate, congratulations.  Menu sounds wonderful and your pork belly bao looks wonderful too.

@ tekobo, wow exploding oysters, they look like them might explode in my mouth.  Actually for those in love with oysters they look wonderful, wings are looking very tasty and I must remember your trick of keep turning them. Thanks. A nice Konro cook for sure.
