I'm no food scientist, but when you heat meat it's doing it's darndest to expel all the water inside of it. I'm not sure how you can sneak anything in past it. Akin to facing a stampede ...

Cooks Illustrated finally did a proper testing of Japanese knives. They actually did a pretty decent job. http://www.cooksillustrated.co...view.asp?docid=20986 Just like anything else, it's the cook, not the tools. But the tools make cooking fun sometimes. Plus, some of the Japanese...

I tried it, and it was wonderful! Actually I tried it twice, and the first time, I had my timing wrong so my lump was barely going on a reverse sear (took longer in the oven then I expected) so it was still hot, but not my usual scorching hot. It seared nicely, but I went a tiny bit longer...

$5? Mother of God. I paid $80 for something similar. Oh well, all good deals. Mine just needs some ignitor parts (hope they're not too expensive)

I'm with Kevin. Get something that you can do yourself, it'll save money in the long run, and you'll always have sharp knives. Are you using German knives or similar? A Spyderco Sharpmaker may be the ticket. and cheap (around $60 or less online, they have a dvd for $5.95) They have two...

Hmm, forgot about this, I'll take a look, I love the concept. Interestingly enough it carries the "sam the cooking guy" brand, a local TV cooking personality.

The Shun is a hybrid knife, in that it uses a Japanese steel (VG-10) while retaining western style geometry. The angle of 15 degrees is pretty acute, compared to softer knives, but can be taken higher. Might be something you may not even want to look at, but I suspect if you take the Shun down...

I actually read on another forum someone who does not believe in high heat pre-heats. Says they're a waste of fuel, and they burn off "seasoning." Clarified to include non-bare cast iron as well. I thought he was crazy, but it kept on my mind. I do notice after cooking something delicious and...

Doesn't matter what you cook on, it matters how you enjoy its taste. Ok, maybe it matters just a little ...

Its normal. My GF found it a bit curious at first. Told her I wanted a collection for our soon to be home, with all different colors and types. Then i found a weber performer (she likes that). I told her I was going to buy one, used. To soften the blow, I said I was selling my ohter grill (I...

As always, thanks Kevin!

That would be trader joe's correct? Jane, not too many Italian markets in my neck of the woods unfortunately

any in particular? Or just whatever is available out the local store/target? I need to clean my 3 coal grills (and I guess my gasser as well). Easiest laziest method preferred. I've never cleaned my WSM since I bought it in 2004.

Been eyeballing red 22s for a while now (I lost one due to it being far and me being lazy ... regret!) can't wait until someone buys the red one and finds out they don't like charcoal, so I can snatch a new one on CL.

Was thinking the same thing myself. Since my fam is vietnamese, I've been drinking Sriracha and Sambal Oelek since I was a baby. Sambal Oelek has a very different flavor profile though. I find Sambal to have more tang. There are certain things you eat with Sriracha, and certain things we eat...

I want to give this rub a shot, been looking for something different and this sounds wonderful. Any idea where to get cheap dried mushrooms? At my local grocery stores they're absolutely outrageous how much they want to charge. $5 for a package with like three shrooms in them. Henrys? Whole...

so lucky! I'm going to keep my eye out.

I don't even think all the parts are there. I have to compare it to the manual to see whats on it, and what's missing. The tank is there. The hose from the bowl out is there, and some weird thing at the end, but having never examined one I can't tell. I did find one chip on the bottom...

I will pay anyone a profit if they find me a copper kettle like that! I have a copper EP-320 (lady got it free through Marriott rewards!) so that would be an awesome match. Where did you get it?
