Iowa Chops and Hasselbacks

Options
Took some Iowa Chops and brined them in water, salt and Worcestershire for about 2 hours. Then coated 1 with Hot Rub @saluki2007 , 1 with salt and pepper and last one with trader joes coffee rub.  Hot rub was great, s&p always good but wasn't a big fan of coffee rub.  Hasselback potatoes were garlic, Parmesan and cheddar. Good stuff for sure, chops were direct at 400 with a chunk of cherry and pulled at 140. Potatoes were indirect at 350 for about 45 minutes. Pics in random order

    @RRP Thanks! Lots of new ideas for hasselbacks the next time.  Definitely need more seasoning on the Parmesan ones as they were a tad bland.

    Just be happy you cut them freehand vs the measured slices I posted a few years back. It took years to get over that sh*t storm!

    I still laugh about that. That was just all in good natured fun, though. Should laugh at yourself more, Ron. I make fun of myself all the time. 

    And I'm sorry but using a steel ruler and a pen to measure your potato slices is just funny, even though its pretty ingenious.

    @RRP don't worry, I'm a tad OCD and the thought definitely crossed my mind.

    Well damn. I do know he got my email after you sent it to me. He may have been one of those who wanted a peel and stick. I tried to tell him. Well, sorry. Tried to get a customer. Thanks for all your effort. Sorry you wasted your time. Im gonna need one myself soon so I know damn well you'll sell one anyway. I may go on and by extra for my small and my medium vision, too, just to keep on hand.

    @YukonRon Thanks! I even pulled the S&P one a little earlier like 135 so when it get's nuked it has a little chance of still having moisture.

    Wowza!  Great looking grub right there.  Glad you liked the rub.  It really shines on ribs and butts.
