Pequod Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Memorial Day Weekend, so Shanks for the Memories! Moroccan spiced honey lamb shanks from my pal Adam Perry Lang. Reducing the glaze after an all afternoon braise. Perfect with pearl couscous and a nice Petit Verdot from a winery up the road.

Troble Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Pizza night. Cheese pizza, pepperoni, Hawaiian, veggie. 6 weeks of consecutive pizza cooking and I can say my crust game is improving. I finally nailed the sauce and will be using this recipe going forward 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key is once you clear the stall, around 165 - 170F, wrap the brisket in pink butcher paper for the rest of the cook (IT = 203F), then wrap everything (yes, leave the brisket in the paper) in foil, a towel and toss into a cooler for at hour or so. Then unwrap and enjoy a nice, juicy brisket. I won't shuck out the bucks for Wagyu, but I will pay for Prime grade. The only deviation, is if you want to make burnt ends, separate the point from the flat before you put it in the foil; then wrap the flat per the above. The cube up the point, season (wet or dry or both), put into an open foil pan and put back on the KK for about another hour. Meat Candy! Sounds like Franklin cares more about the color of the brisket for when to wrap.. Not related to the stall. He also does not always wrap.. Talks about it in the first two minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMIlyzRFUjU 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just going by what he wrote in his book. When you've cooked as many briskets as he has, you can fly by the seat of your pants (gauging by color). Plus, he's talking about all the variables - type of smokers (all of his are off-set stick burners), green vs aged wood (He doesn't use charcoal), etc. So, just experiment and see what techniques work best for you is the main point. What I wrote works for me. YMMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 All these gorgeous pizza cooks, I'm inspired to going for it tonight. Last night was repeat of a recent favorite: Peri-Peri chicken thighs. Direct, 325F initially, bumped up to 375F to crisp up the skin, peach wood chunks. Plated with roasted garlic couscous, carrot salad, and a nice peanut sauce. My fav summertime wine - Vinho Verde (Broadbent). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Pizza night. Sourdough crust with 10% fresh milled hard red wheat. DOP San Marzano tomatoes. Fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and artichoke hearts. Baked on the KK 23 with a baking steel for leopard spotted crust. There were no survivors. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
