    Interesting new gadget to my coffee arsenal

    Well this one simply dealt with storage. Nothing more. And I thought they were interesting gadgets to help with the challenge of keeping things fresh. I have a very nice French Press I purchased. Quite honestly it's FAR better than it has a right to be based on how cheap it was. Link here...

    Not sure where to stick this

    I've found that the indications change based on how long the meat is in the package. But, they do perform the ritual on everything. Just watch the cutters in the back room when you're there. Pretty indiscriminate. IDK I find it a fairly brutal process.

    Interesting new gadget to my coffee arsenal

    So, I was perusing Amazon and discovered a new product for storing coffee in. Ever the "issue" if you're buying in larger quantities (think Costco, Sam's, etc) Anyway keeping things fresh is an ongoing battle. I looked into and actually bought an air displacement type canister. Works fairly...

    Filet is the only thing they don't do it to.

    It's Costco's policy. Look at the label. If it says "Blade Tenderized" "For your safety cook to minimum 145 then they've been done. They have to disclose it because it can and sometimes does introduce bacteria inside the meat, where cooking to rare-mid rare can cause food poisoning. I spoke to...

    Weber Sear Zone burners and orifices

    I think (not sure) the "sear zone" is simply an extra burner stuffed in between. If you're asking to change fuel types think twice. In most (nearly all) Weber grills they make them so a simple orifice swap will not work properly

    Not sure where to stick this

    On the rare occasion I buy precut steaks I steer clear of Costco because of their insistence of "blade tenderizing" the meat for all except tenderloin. But even chuck roasts and prime rib roasts they ruin. So, basically while I like the convenience occasionally of buying steaks pre cut I steer...

    Not sure where to stick this

    I will give this a good watch. I've been watching a lot of The Butcher Wizard but he seems to lean more to getting big piles of ground chuck and I "get it" some folks like a lot of ground beef. We don't. We prefer cooking whole or larger pieces of meat. So I am hoping this video leans more...

    I will just leave this here

    I have to wait for the weekend. I only partake of the "malts" on weekends. :D Oddly I have to watch them as they tend to push my blood glucose down and can actually cause "lows" if I don't balance it with something else like say some cheese and crackers

    Not sure where to stick this

    First off we rarely see tri-tip around here. And when we do it's crazy $$$$. I think the cheapest I've seen (in a non warehouse setting) is $18-$22lb and also around here $9.99lb for a good piece of beef is crazy cheap. Especially when you see lowly chuck roasts being priced at $15lb and up at a...

    My estimation is I'll get 4-6 steaks outta this package

    So at Costco today and noticed something quite different. Never saw before. Anyway these make for good relatively cheap but good steak for the grill.

    Weber Genesis Silver restoration project

    Except Bruce not everyone keeps spare fire boxes around like you pros do. So better to use the safer methods rather than the faster one

    Re Ninja Woodfire issues I reported on

    I will say, these little Ninja Woodfire units make the absolute best rack of lamb ever, and the best Chilean Sea Bass I have ever produced bar none. What I love (especially on the lamb) is I can put some serious heat on them and not erupt in flames. It just builds a great crust. And with the...

    Re Ninja Woodfire issues I reported on

    So a while back I think it was Jon I responded to re my Ninja giving me some "issues" with the pellet side of things. Sorry for the late response and also I cannot find where I'd made that actual response. So I am simply posting an update. On a whim I went to Harbor Freight (not important as to...

    What a score today!

    I have enjoyed a couple single malts tonight. But this will not be happening on "cocktail night" since I only partake on weekends :D But yes I will follow directions :D
