jmagaram Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 I received my KK a couple days ago. Made chicken the first night and beef chuck yesterday. I have more leftovers in the fridge than I know what to do with. So today when I started getting excited about possible cooks - seared steak, ribs, spatchcock chicken - I realized I don't need any more food and might have to wait a day or two before using the KK again. My heart started beating fast, shortness of breath. Like a panic attack. Withdrawal symptoms. So here I am sitting in my car in the parking lot of Whole Foods debating whether to go in and buy those meats. Or should I resist the urge and wait a couple days? Help! 4
jmagaram Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Posted March 21, 2014 I'm sure you know how this ended. See the photo. Where are the other food groups?! Where is the balance?! I need a sponsor - someone to call in moments of weakness. 2

dstr8 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Precisely why I feel compelled to bake 3 pizzas several times a month on my KK...just for the two of us
tony b Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Why I bought the Food Saver! Best investment I've ever made. Now, I get the side benefit of being able to use it for my sous vide cooks, like the ribeye in the water bath as I type this.
DennisLinkletter Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Yes FoodSaver is a must.. just drop the Q in hot water and slowly warm later and it will be just like out of the KK except bark of course.. Giving pouches of Q away will also make you more popular with the recipients..

Just because you have the protein portion of the meal in the fridge, doesn't mean you can't get your "fix" by grilling some sides to go with the leftovers, or baking some bread, or even just tossing a piece of mild fruit wood on some hot coals to provide some ambiance when your hanging out on the patio!
CeramicChef Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 jmagaram - as I tell my friends "Welcome to The Addiction!" I take extra portions to the local Police and Fire Stations. Those guys kill for Q. I also have been known to take care of my butcher! I'm always bugging him for special cuts of better cuts or deals and I always make sure to take over a mess of ribs or pulled pork by 10:00 AM. The guys LOVE it! They take care of me and I take care of them.

Syzygies Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 You do have neighbors? It's amazing how accepting people are of the sort of obsession you describe. There are many a tale on the web of extended power outages after natural calamities (as simple as an ice storm, or for example a hurricane) where a ceramic cooker runs 24/7 preserving the food from everyone's thawing chest freezers. Lesson: Keep plenty of charcoal on hand for the zombie apocalypse!
