tekobo Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Brazilian BBQ night here yesterday. Shoulder of lamb smoked with pecan and apple chips in the 32 using the double drip pan from the 23. Picanha prepared and then spun on the 23. Nice spread. There were just six of us to dinner. Lots of lovely left overs for me to eat this week. When I was cleaning the double bottom drip pan this morning I thought I ought to show it off again. I soaked it with ordinary washing up liquid and it came up beautifully clean this morning with minimal scrubbing. Never ceases to amaze me. I find it to be a really good cooking utensil that doesn't warp and is so easy to keep looking good as new. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I’ve been feeling bad about not posting any cooking pics for awhile and posting bora bora pics in here so I thought I’d throw up some “simple” chicken breast pics. This is a pretty standard cook for me on Sunday when I want to prepare food for the week. Especially coming off a big trip when I’m trying to save money. I did this last week and am doing it again this week. im always amazed at how well the KK cooks chicken breast and how juicy they are. My standard rub is this “Chicken Shit”. Bought the value pack of chicken breast at the market and cook them Indirect at 325 with mesquite wood so tonight I did my summer strawberry salad with arugula, candied pecans (usually do candied walnuts but Trader Joe’s has been out for months), strawberries, Parmesan cheese & raspberry vinaigrette dressing tomorrow I’ll use a couple breasts for a salad with spring mix, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, avocados, apples & avocado Tuesday I’ll pick up some freshly made tortillas and will make chicken quesadillas (secret to success is adding garlic powder and oregano inside) Wednesday I’ll use the same tortillas with a pre made Caesar salad mix and do chicken Caesar salad wraps side note….you know inflation is real when my normal package of handmade tortillas has been $2.99 for the last decade and now it’s $3.69 when you don’t see me posting I’m usually running this playbook for the week. One cook, 4 meals, budget friendly Edited October 17, 2022 by Troble 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ora Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Great cooks everyone i got a new chook drumstick rack gave them some egg base rub and left them to dry out in the fridge then some of Tony b islandic chook rub plated with some veg and cornSent from my SM-T835 using Tapatalk 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Nice rack @Aussie Ora 🤪 Reminds me I have one of those folded away somewhere. All round crispy drumsticks, what's not to like? @Troble your budget friendly cook has some cool links for me. I always buy whole or half animals and find it a cost effective way to get good quality meat. I recently realised that it wasn't quite as cost effective as I thought when The Husband worked out how much it cost to run our industrial scale freezer. 😱 We have now got rid of it and bought something that is much more energy efficient and I am focussing on using the space for things that need to be in a freezer rather than as a very cold and expensive cupboard for things like bags of flour! The next step to value will be to finally get around to following your advice about solar and find out what's available (and viable) to install on our roof to help keep our energy bills down. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMorg82 Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Taking advantage of the never ending summer here in the PNW before rain moves in this weekend. All about pork. A no wrap pork butt for the first time. I was interested in seeing how good the moisture retention was without wrapping. Overall it tasted excellent. Bark a bit tough if you get a big piece of it but not something I mind. Also tried some pork belly for the first time. Made burnt ends out of it. While the flavor is very good, they weren’t quit melt in your mouth. I just smoked open the whole time and then carmelized at the end. I missed the step where I was supposed to place in a tray and cover with a stick and a half of butter and brown sugar. Still good though just a little tougher.
