ckreef Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Tacos look great. What kind of cheese. Benton That is the block style, crumble, queso cheese. 1st time I've bought it. It won't be the last as it was a good deal for the amount you get for $5.Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrillingMontana Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I just stumbled on this thread, and I love it! I will add some cooks from time to time, and I apologize if I double up something that I posted elsewhere. This is a fun one for me to start with- Slow and low for hours until pulled pork temperatures were hit, then jacked the KK up to 550 to bubble the skin on the roast. I ordered this from a butcher an hour away and he told me he would call the next time he "did" some hogs. Without going into too many details, they typically do not leave the skin on yet they totally hooked me up. I got to hang out while he finished cutting to my spec's. Crisp skin was insane!

tony b Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I was bummed at my last Trader Joe's visit, as I was looking for their Porchetta, but didn't find any. Bought one last year around this time and it was insanely good! My only attempt to make one from scratch didn't come out as well as I wanted - the skin wasn't crispy at all. But, you gave me a couple of tips that may help - didn't cross hatch the skin like yours (great idea) and didn't jack the temp up that high either (another great idea).

tony b Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Well, over the last month, I've hit up 2 Trader Joe's - one in Minneapolis and one in Chicago - no Porchettas!!! They have something labeled "Porchetta" but it's only a pork loin roast wrapped in bacon - NOT the same thing! Seriously Bummed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 1/2" thin pork loin chops. Marinated in semi homemade Italian dressing for a few hours. CI seared on Prometheus @400*. 1.5 minutes for the first side, a little over 2 minutes for the second side. Came out way better than I thought they would. Very moist at a nice MD doneness, just perfect for the family. Sent from my QTAQZ3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckreef Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Pepper Merlot Street Tacos (pulled beef) Seared then low-n-slow for a little over 2 hours. Peppers and onions. Add a Merlot braise liquid and the beef. DO at 300* for a little more than 3 hours. Dinner is served a little late even by our standards. Note: color in the bottom picture is a little wacked - oh well just a quick post. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
