Ahhh… You have met them.

Nothing! We have the family over for breakfast. To hard to juggle 4 kids with 2 places to be. Presents after breakfast then everyone’s free to go do what the want the rest of the day.

Thanks for letting us know.

I posted a picture of my boys back in 2022. Here they are, both turned 5 on Dec 14. Ben & Jerry. Jerry is on the left. I wish they were an innocent as they look. Definitely not for beginners.

I found this recipe online. Recipe calls for cooking in the oven. I cooked it in a CI skillet over JD lump on the performer after browning the chicken over the coals. Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Servings: 6 Source: asimplepalate.com Ingredients 6 chicken thighs you can use...

Whoa. The delamination you are experiencing is not good. Does the thing get hot all over?

I use only 1 charcoal basket. Be sure to balance the bird (weight adjustment) Put veggies (partially precooked) in the drip pan to serve with the bird. Figure 60 to 75 minutes for a 4ish pound chicken.

100 apologies for not converting the measurements. The Switzerland in you name should have been a clue. I prefer the lower salt in the brine but I do store smoked fish in the refrigerator.

You are welcome. The time part came from my best fishing buddy (RIP) many years ago. Haven’t had too salty fish since as salt level concentrates when the fish is dried. Another thing I never skip is the drying step. This IMO is really important to the quality of the finished product. I do...

Looks like the intent is to put a “kettle” in between the performer and the WSK. Guess we’ll have to wait and see…

One last question if I may. What led you to a Samsung?

Yeah. Looking at the different induction ranges they had way too many bells and whistles. I do not need or want WiFi, cameras, or an air fry function. I acknowledge that induction costs more but I was ok with that. Does your range make buzzing noises when on high? My DACOR DF range doesn’t...

Bought an induction burner (Duxtop 9600) to try out the technology. It recognized all my CI, Turns out that my Cuisinart multiclad pro cookware sorta passed the test. The skillets, and (funny enough) the pot lids worked. My saucepans did not work tho slightly magnetic. A quick email to...

Thanks Not bad for a California boy.
