Chanly1983 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Sooo... more boxes of goodies came today! It included 6ozs. Of crack berries. I have been in 4 and 5 diamonds from 14 till my mid 20’s, spent some time at SBCC for culinary and hotel managment and done some traveling to some nice resorts around the Caribbean and never once heard about these little gems. So Let’s have some ideas on what to do with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new to the Tasmanian pepper berry game, but have found it to be good on just about everything. Have a nice dedicated mill and it bounces back and forth from the stovetop to the tabletop. Had to throttle my husband back and put him on a ration, he was getting a bit out of control... lol. I’m with you on the Staub. I have both as well and the finishing on the Staub is always top notch whereas the Le Creuset is nice, but often (at least in my experience) has minor imperfections. That dark interior can be a bit iffy to keep clean looking though. A quick wipe of oil will do the trick, or a nice acidic tomato based cook.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think that I named it "purple crack?" I use it in just about everything anymore. Great on fried eggs, mashed potatoes, salad dressings, mixed in with dry rubs for grilling. I even used it making beers (Purple Crack Wheat - a blueberry wheat beer with pepper berries and a Purple Crack mead) and brining pork belly for bacon. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I’ve heard that purple crack whipped into butter and spread on a nice beer bread is seriously addictive. But spread thin alone on toast can result in a lost lunch. Haven’t tried either, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my cowardly way of saying I don't like it. Don't drum me out of the club and don't think me weird for promoting marmite butter. Am even thinking that marmite just might bring some umami flavour to a meat rub. Here's your challenge @Chanly1983, if you wish to accept it: make up something that makes us all love Purple Crack AND marmite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 First, I must say that is one cute dog. It must be pretty exciting at your house these days what with all the new toys and the arrival just around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanly1983 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 @MacKenzie Yeah he is my little show pony! I have no room for all my new toys so I am loading up my oven until my cabinet gets here in June or July. I hope I remember that next time I need to bake something.... As for “the arrival” I am so happy and nervous thinking about first cook, burn in, moving it, etc. But talking to everyone here and Dennis has made this whole experience easier. Thanks again everyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanly1983 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes I got it and I love it. I started a new thread called 32” terra blue. With arring, unpacking and setup photos. Did I say I love it? This was worth every penny! As for things I should of gotten when I ordered it. Maybe just another charcoal basket and the double drip pan. But I’ll order at least the double drip pan this winter. These things are a absolutely amazing. I cooked huli huli chicken when it arrived and even going to 175 on accident it was still extremely moist. If you want to stop over and see one let me know. You will not be disappointed. Guys are giving me crap at work and saying you can get a green egg for a lot cheaper. But there is plenty of stories of those having shorter life spans. I am a firm believer of paying once, crying over it once and enjoying for the rest of my life. Also @DennisLinkletter is an amazing guy to work with! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 You can get an egg for less money, there’s a very simple reason for that....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chanly1983 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 My thoughts exactly @5698k, I am 35 so I could by and egg for same $3000 with table and accessories. Let’s just say I can 10 years out of it. If I plan to say live to 100 I have 65 years to go. We’ll divide that by, 6.5 years now times by $3000... $19500 about double what I payed for my 32”, table and accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
