Thanksgiving Spin

Recommended Posts

Wasn't really in picture mode but I have a few pictures from the Thanksgiving meal.

It started thanksgiving eve with a pumpkin pie, chocolate cheesecake and cornbread to go in the dressing, all cooked on Cassiopeia. Doing all that cooking made us hungry so we put a few steaks on Prometheus

Just a few pictures from Thanksgiving day. Not the best pictures but you get the idea.

While that was spinning cooked a couple of dishes on Prometheus. Candied yams and standard green bean casserole.

The only money shot I got was desert.

You had me scratching my head for a second with the 16's main grate down below.. LOL

Great looking cook.. Why the upper flipped on the main for the three chocolate deserts?

Good question. I was just checking it out in a position that would be a little higher than the main grate but not fully up in the dome. Probably no real benefit to doing that. Either the main grate or upper grate in the dome from here on.

Very nice cook. I am impressed with the Chocolate Cheesecake. What makes the cheesecake rise like that ? Recipe, please.

Just used the standard Philadelphia chocolate cheesecake recipe off the Internet. I actually don't like the rise as then it sags in the end and doesn't look pretty although it tastes the same.

Going to work on this in the future.

Looks terrific, as always!

A general question on making desserts in a kamado: I would assume that you would not want a smoky profile on your pie or cheesecake. Do you do anything to limit/get rid of the smoke for cooking dessert?

A Smokey profile can be an issue with baking. Best solution is to use Coco char. This was about a 50/50 mix of Coco char and RO. Couldn't taste any smoke flavor.
