    garlic peeler

    Yes, Chris, an interesting discussion. I tried the 2-bowl trick but found that I couldn't hold the 2 bowls together firmly enough to keep them from slipping. Rita

    garlic peeler

    Especially when you want to slice garlic or use whole cloves (chicken with 40 cloves of garlic), the tube works very well to remove the garlic skin. You can also use anything that's flexible and is made of silicone, such as a pot trivet and roll it around the garlic cloves. Uni-tasker or not...

    Temporary Pizza Oven - What Type of Brick

    How'd you like those pizzas he baked? Hilarious! He made a pretty quick recovery of keeping that in stride. Besides being the photographer, I think The Missus might be the official prompter with a list of discussion and explanations they wanted to be sure to cover in the video. I've heard...

    Cooking Frozen Solid Steak. Done. Results Ok

    The trick to have well-seasoned steak throughout, in my opinion, is dry-brining---salt and season the steaks, let them sit at room temperature for about an hour, and then freeze them. If you want to vacuum-pack them before freezing, wait about 5 to 10 minutes before vacuuming so the vacuuming...

    Temporary Pizza Oven - What Type of Brick

    Has anyone watched the second of this series at GardenFork, showing tips for using the brick pizza oven? I think you'll enjoy it, especially the last half. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MC_Akgp7EI&list=PL2D4EC60E5AE471E0&index=2 Rita

    The Stuffed Burger Challenge

    Beautiful, Clint. You grabbed me with the spinach. I'd rather have spinach than dessert. I just might have to try that. As strange as it might seem, I have never stuffed a burger in my life. What's wrong with me? But it's never too late to start, right? In lieu of an original, might I...

    Temporary Pizza Oven - What Type of Brick

    Hi Phil! I've gotten a little smoke flavor by using foil wood chip packets over a burner. They have to be smoking pretty well when you put the pizza in to cook. It's just difficult to get the proper top heat on the pizza. I've tried "building" a 5- or 6-inch high (interior) pizza oven with...

    Temporary Pizza Oven - What Type of Brick

    What a neat idea! Does anyone think that the interior of the oven seems a little high to get good reflective heat for even browning of the top of the crust and a little color on the toppings? His pizza looked pale on top, but to give him credit, it looks as if he was still near the beginning...

    Alton Brown's steamed wings

    OK! That's a plan, Bob. :) Rita

    Alton Brown's steamed wings

    I happened on A SITE that suggests par-boiling the wings instead of steaming them and claims that the wings are just as crispy as AB's. Cleanup was easier. A YOUTUBE VIDEO also suggests par-boiling PLUS cutting the joints of the wings after par-boiling, easier to do. It might be worth a...

    Grill Grate Cleaning

    The manual for my oven says to remove the racks when using the self-cleaning cycle, a major disappointment. I left one in the oven once, while cleaning it and that particular rack never again slid in and out of the oven smoothly without grabbing, so the heat must have affected the plating. Now...

    Asian style pulled pork

    Thanks, Ted. The pork sounds wonderful. We love Asian-style pork. I wonder if we can replicate Wegman's sauce. Here is the ingredient list. You might want to check the reviews (some of the reviewers probably used too much and overpowered their meat). Ingredients: Tomato Puree (Water...

    Just for fun, just for nerds: Why A4-sized printer paper is superior to 8.5x11 paper

    Just remember, it's easier to multiply or divide by 10 than by 12. I love my grams! :) Rita

    All-Purpose Gravy from Almost Nothing (Cook's Illustrated)

    I absolutely agree about having a FoodSaver and getting all the air out of the package...I use mine several times a day. But If you're careful, you can get all of the air out of a liquidy mixture when using freezer bags alone and they are more economical for relatively short-term storage. And...

    All-Purpose Gravy from Almost Nothing (Cook's Illustrated)

    Well, I understand the addiction to gravy, but consider the cons - it bypasses the taste buds...a sad thing. Butter tubs. I don't even remember them; only 1-pound bricks and packages of 4 sticks, but that's a neat trick if you can pop them out of the molds. I don't bother to F/S mine when I...

    All-Purpose Gravy from Almost Nothing (Cook's Illustrated)

    Only a cup? :) Which reminds me, I am out of the gravy base in the freezer and need to make some more. I pack it in 1- and 2-cup portions in pint and quart Ziploc freezer bags, making sure I get all of the air out. Freeze flat and then stand up in a small crate or box. The gravy base...

    Dry Rubs

    Kevin Kruger's BUTT RUB FOR JANE has gotten a lot of attention over the years. I love it. Kevin makes all of his rubs salt-free so you can use as little or as much as you like without under- or over-salting the meat. Salt the meat first and let it stand for a few minutes until it begins to...

    Pork Loin Help

    Eric, you could cook the pork loin roast either way, gas/charcoal/smoker. Your timing will probably be different between a bone-in roast and a boneless roast. I'd suggest brining full loin roasts for 10 hours or overnight. For a slightly rosy center, I usually cook indirect, starting at about...
