    The best steak I've ever had--new procedure and recipe

    It does, doesn't it? But definitely cut from Choice. It was only that marbled on one side. Can't remember if it was the small side or long side. I cut it open and was like, dang, this is more marbled than the side of prime! Thats why I took that shot. But only about 1/3 of the side was that...

    Cast Iron seasoning

    Ok, excellent point. Do not want any food particles, dust etc sticking to the pan (which is also why she said never to store the pan in oil, it gets sticky, stuff gets stuck, then becomes a part of the seasoning). Been meaning to try some Frantoia olive oil that Eric Ripert chose on his show...

    Cast Iron seasoning

    Thanks Kevin, that post cleared up a lot of stuff for me. And boy does that grate look beautiful! Yes the post did not contemplate unrefined oils, but those are usually more gourmet oils anyway correct? I would not want to use expensive oils on this pan. I'd definitely run to your local grocer...

    Dry Aging steaks - Drybag Steaks?

    me too. however, I'm cautiously optimistic. My new foodsaver has a slot (not a hinged opening) with auto seal...I'm wondering if four layers will fit and can be heated through. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Me too. I got a screaming deal on a vertical sealer, so I bought it, even though I was looking for...

    Stainless Steel Cleaner?

    I must get me some barkeepers friend, not only for my stainless stuff but I hear it works well on copper (I just picked up some mauviel pieces). I also hear WD40 works great on stainless. Do not use it on cooking surfaces obviously. But Ive read it cleans it right up. So just use them on outer...

    The best steak I've ever had--new procedure and recipe

    Not exactly getting the wet aging part. it sounds like you are still dry aging the meat. Especially when you talk about moisture loss, as wet aging is usually in it's original cryovac packaging. There is no moisture loss. I bought a whole side of ribeye from Costco and threw it in my mom's...

    Cast Iron seasoning

    The best instructions I've come across was on Chowhound. It was a thread titled "Seasoning Cast Iron without Crisco." http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/433869#2875040 It's about the most complete and informative post regarding seasoning I have ever read (and I've read quite a few) so I saved...

    Dry Aging steaks - Drybag Steaks?

    Hmm, that video (and followup video) seems pretty legit. I notice in the picture above and the followup video http://www.youtube.com/user/fo...search/7/-SaRVzpyVQ8 That the meat doesn't take on a crimson red color inside like some of the other dry aged stuff I've come across. I wonder if it...

    Who makes the BEST knives?

    Darnit Kevin, you had to go and clarify so now, I guess I have another doohickey I want to buy then. I'd have to guess learning with stones is the best (reprofiling, fixing chips etc.) but the Apex sure is convenient. I guess you can put a low grit on there to do simple angle changing...

    Who makes the BEST knives?

    What are the angles on the Apex's? These are recommended quite a bit by knifenuts for those who want a system. But once you get hooked on the sharp edges of your knife, as you are visiting a BBQ forum I'd assume some of you (not all) will get hooked on the screaming edges you can put on your...

    Foodsaver V3840 opinions?

    I got what I think is the V3480, which is a white version that looks like the V3840. When I compare the two on the foodsaver sight, all it says is I'm missing a retractable hose. http://www.foodsaver.com/Produ...id=c&cid=87&pid=6703 Is this model any good? Am I missing anything big without...

    Baby Back Ribs Membrane

    First time I encountered membrane less ribs it was also from Costco, maybe 2-3 years back. Not knowing anyone bothered to remove it, I peeled and peeled until the top rib fell out. I realized there was no membrane. Now I can spot it easily.

    Orange Marmalade Sriracha Wings

    Sambal oelek usually is much stronger than Sriracha in my experience. I've had both in my household since I was a kid. So be careful using the same amount, at least I would. I can cover my bowl with sriracha, literally a blanket of red over my food. Not the same with Sambal.

    Best source for All Clad cookware?

    Right now for some reason, All-Clad is running a promotion on their 12" stainless skillet with lid. I got it for $80 from here: http://www.abt.com/product/41842/All-Clad-51125.html But that was two days ago, it appears it went up to $90. Keep in mind the pan usually goes for $120 or more and...
