    So finally my freezer is getting delivered this week. I am already dreaming about doing at least two shoulders for PP to food saver. Reading the forms PP freezes well.

    little impromptu stuffed pork loin

    So I had half a small pork loin in the freezer and poked around the kitchen to see what I had laying around to throw together. I wanted to practice cutting the loin and “unrolling” it like a roll of paper towels and much to my disappointment it fell apart in two pieces when I unwrapped it. At...

    question on casings natural vs fibrous vs collegen

    I am going to get started soon on experimenting with some charcuterie and I dread natural casings. You may ask how do you dread them if you have not even started yet. Well being Greek I have been around quite a few lamb preparations and I have had the job of "massaging" and hosing out...

    Can I please have a definite answer for steak temps.

    I am always hit or miss on my steaks. Once in a while I get it spot on and they are the best steaks I have had in my life. Most of the time they are too rare then I overcook them. My themapen is waiting for me on my porch tonight. I googled till I was cross eyed and the range of temps saying...

    Kind of off the wall question about handling hot coals / stirring etc.

    So one day I got bold and just stuck my hand in my WSM to rearrange the coals wearing your standard 2 pack grey (pigskin I think) work gloves. It worked great. Now I always use them to add coals or stir them up and anytime handling anything hot that has to do with the smoker. Granted I am not...

    My bacon and a little reflection :)

    It looks like a few people have been bit by the bacon bug lately… including me. Thanks for everyone’s help. My only regret I was nervous about it and did not make enough!
