MacKenzie Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Looks delicious, Pequod. I had my Konro going today to do burgers, just used my regular lump. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Great looking burgers, MacKenzie (at least I didn't see any beets - LOL!!) We finally started seeing local corn a couple of days ago. Today was my first time to get some for dinner. Still a bit early, but better than supermarket, for sure! Cooked up extras for leftovers tomorrow and Monday. Dinner on the deck (kinda humid), plated a steak with melting potatoes (alternate cooking method - InstaPot), corn and baguette. Made a nice sauce of horseradish, grainy mustard & mayo. Tasty Tuscan Red, too. While it was nice to do the potatoes in the InstaPot versus firing up the oven to 500F for the "regular method," it was a bit more labor intensive - multiple steps using different settings on the cooker. Couldn't tell any difference in taste/texture. Will only use it again if I don't want to heat up the kitchen just for the potatoes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Fantastic dinner, Tony. Lucky you, finding local corn. I'm still waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Must be konro season! I made beef skirt and chicken wing suya for my visiting Dad and Aunt last week. No pics of the board sauce but I capitalised on @Pequod's innovation and chopped up the tomato and red onion with some shredded basil in place of the large chunks of tomato and red onion that normally accompany your newspaper wrapped suya in Lagos. They both enjoyed it very much and didn't criticise me for being a deviant. Result. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the chimney starter method. First light a few chunks of lump at the bottom, then add binchotan once the lump is red hot. Worked great! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 @tekobo intrigued by those blue handles on your skewers. Where did you get them and do they work well? I have converted to the flat ones with handles for ease of flipping. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D184MRD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Since we are on the Konro trail, here is the breakfast bacon I did this morning. Slow roasted over and open fire. This bacon is sooo much better than when done in the frying pan. Breakfast on the deck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Roadkill sportin’ a Meater on the 23. Just for some perspective on how large the 23 is, that’s a 12 pound chook. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Beef back ribs today, 220F-240F more or less for 5 hours. This was my first experience with beef back ribs, not my last. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Darn Mac I was looking at your hamburgers this morning and then the bacon and eggs this evening now I’m all bass ackwards I wanted to have hamburgers for breakfast and bacon and eggs for dinner. Anyway both meals look deeeeelicious, and those ribs are looking pretty yummy also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) This was Canadian style deep fried chicken my mate cooked for me last xmas. Sorry about the poor quality lighting and photography Took about 10 minutes to cook outside in minus 10 deg C I'd never seen this done before,...... and probably won't again, despite it being delicious.

tekobo Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Lovely looking cooks, one and all. Happily I had a good breakfast before I ventured onto the forum this morning so not in my usual desperate post viewing state! 15 hours ago, tony b said: @tekobo intrigued by those blue handles on your skewers.

Can't really see the point and I don't have enough of them. I bought them really cheaply in a US catering store and may well not use them again. They were part of the search for the square ends that @ckreef has on his metal kebab sticks. Being able to turn a kebab a quarter turn a time would be awesome but the brand that he has appears to be out of production. Yes, I like those flat skewers that were on your link. I get them from our local Chinese store and they are really good. Used up my last batch at recent party, must get some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
