Poochie Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 That's cool David. I rate those chicken butts like I do the hard no-meat part of the wing. It taste better overdone and crispy. But I wouldn't want to make a meal of it. On the other hand, the picanha looks delicious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Chang Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 tonight was a series of high temperature bakes starting with: 1. levain chocolate chip cookies. baked on two levels. https://www.joshuaweissman.com/post/levian-chocolate-chip-cookies this was underbaked but i finished them in the oven. tastes good, but tastes better from the original levain bakery in nyc. 2. originally we planned on making pizza using vito's double poolish dough, but we changed it up to turkish pide. this was the wrong dough to use. i need a thinner, less leavened dough. although i took the kk to 550, i pushed it to 650 because it was just taking so long. at the end, i think i will leave these types of bakes for the wood fired pizza oven. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7Hd6ZzKgBM 3. sourdough loaf. didn't want to deal with ice cubes so i used my trusty ceramic cloche. not enough clearance on the upper level so i used the main level grate with the baking stone underneath. came out ok. bottom got charred a bit. probably would have been avoided using upper grate.. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Feast to famine! Took advantage of the weather yesterday (cooler than the 62F we had on Saturday, but I could have done without the tornadoes - 7 dead, including 2 kids! 😢) to do a nice Prime Sirloin. Direct, lower grate, mesquite wood chunks. Plated with a nice 2x baked spud, sauteed mushrooms and chimichurri sauce. Nice side salad of cherry tomatoes - the yellow ones are off my hydroponic plant! So now to the famine part. This is what I woke up to this morning! Welcome to Springtime in Iowa! Folks, THIS is why you buy a cover for your KK! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonj Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 @tony b, I know about the midwest weather! I just pulled the ribs off and shut down the KK yesterday afternoon when the rain started. Within 30 minutes, the sleet had begun and fortunately, by then, the KK exterior was cool enough for the cover to be replaced. Sleet was followed by snow, although not as much as you received. Ribs turned out great but, no photos; didn't happen... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 David: The cookies were monsters! I'd love one of those! I've never heard of Turkish Pide but I know I'd eat it. Tony: Another winner complete meal. Steak looks great with the mushrooms and spud. The salad...I'd eat that one Tony and jonj: You think you guys have it bad. I had to mow the lawn today in 75 degree weather. Terrible with that sun beating on my back. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 @Poochie - you mow your own lawn? Son, I haven't owned a lawn mower in over 25 years. Better things to do with my time in Summer! Hire a kid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Take a survey. I'll bet most guys and gals mow their own lawn and plant their own flowers and veggies. And shovel their own snow...whatever that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrus Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Always lookin good Toney, wish I could say the same for those grates, ahhh adds to flavor. Think you may have to make a 3/8 high performance wrench to tackle that, you may break the grill floss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been a bit cool lately, so I've slacked off cleaning the grates as part of my shutdown process the last few cooks. Heading into Spring next week with temps in the 50s to maybe up to 70! So, some opportunity to do some KK maintenance - inside and out. @Poochie - While I don't mow (HATE IT!), I do snowblow the drive and plant all my flowers, tomatoes, etc. Just sayin' 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C6Bill Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) I mow, I shovel and I plant. Since I retired I don’t have an excuse not to do it anymore lol Edited March 9, 2022 by C6Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Me too. I was mowing an elderly neighbor's yard, my Dad's yard and mine for a while. Rest assured if Tony is planting something it's for stuffing those left handed cigarettes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Finally some warmish weather. I decided to make the most of it with a KK wing cook. Yummie. Steamed some cabbage then charred it a little. It was wonderful to be cooking in the ODK. 😍 Edited March 12, 2022 by MacKenzie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Great minds, @MacKenzie. I did wings last night, too. But, I did mine in the airfryer. Still a bit nippy out here. BUT, tomorrow turns the tide and we're in the 50s everyday going forward, with some 60F days tossed in along the way. So, I plan to toss some chicken thighs (or something) on the KK for dinner tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poochie Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Good job MacKenzie. I was worried about you since you've been so quiet. Great looking meal! Tony, air fryer?? MacKenzie getting ready to use her KK (in full uniform) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
