original post...waiting approval. I took out the link to my old thread but it was pretty funny.
Some of you may remember my post a month or so ago about my father in laws take on useage of the egg. We all got a good laugh!
Well, he is gone but my mother in law is back helping with the baby and she wants me to cook them this time. I told him I would not be using his methods! But now I don't know how I should cook them. Any tips? Ive never cooked them before. She wants them pink on the inside but warm...temp?
Thanks.

Here's what I did last time, sorry no pictures:
Beautiful lamb chops from Costco, about 1 inch thick
Crushed fresh ginger root and garlic through a garlic press
Put in plate with olive oil, salt , pepper, and minced fresh mint leaves
Coated liberally onto lamb chops, then put it all in a ZipLoc bag in refrigerator for about two hours
Big BGE, direct, extended, at about 375-400
Cooked for 5 minutes then turned and cooked another ~15 minutes to internal temp of 130-135
Came out perfect, very juicy and perfect medium rare
-
Marinate them in mint sauce from a store-bought jar - that's it - preferably in a vacuum-sealed bag. At least for a couple of hours and plop 'em straight on the grill - 5 minutes one side, 4 minutes on the other for rare - 7 and 6 for medium. I do the same thing for a roast leg and it's delicious.

zatar seasoning with salt, or a short marinade of balsamic, oil , lemon juice, garlic, salt, and rosemary. my preferenc for the chops is the tbone style center cut chop with the center bone. trex or hot tub and off the grill before 127fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
-
Im not looking for recipes but rather methods. The mother in law has the seasoning taken care of....she doesn't want to try anything different. I do appreciate the recipes thougha nd will try them each in the future!BTW, anyone else having trouble posting from internet explorer? It keeps telling me "body required" so I have to log into chrome in order to make any posts.

its pretty much the same as cooking a steak, same methods, same internals. if its thick i go with the trex method, if its thin i go with hot tub and hard sear. the center cut tbone style chop seems more forgiving to me and i would rather do leg of lamb cut up and skewered with rosemay stalks over a regular lamb chop, just dont cook past medium rarefukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

@Little Steven. What temp and for how long in the hot tub? And would you do a steak the same way? ;;)Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl ! -
Granny, I usually use 100* to 110* water and generally go 40 minutes per inch of thickness. For chops I might go a little longer cause of the bone.

So are you saying you soak them in hot water and then put them on the egg? Im confused (happens easily)
-
Sorry, hot tub is a term used frequently around here. You either vac seal them or put them in foodsaver bags and put them in water that will raise the internal temp but not cook them. They don't require as much cooking time this way and you will get a similar effect to sous vide where your protein will be at the same level of doneness from side to side

Thank you Steven. I'm sorry if I created confusion by using the term "hot tub" when i was talking about sous vide. ;;)Every day is a bonus day and every meal is a banquet in Winter Springs, Fl ! -
Granny, yes I do most of my steaks the same way. If I do thin ones always. I am not real keen on fully sous vided steak. I guess I could use the sous vide for the hot tub.

I tend to usually keep it simple to show off the lovely flavor of lamb. Salt and oil on a HOT egg direct. Individual chops don't take long to cook at all at those temps. When they're browned up, put one on a plate or hold one with tongs, etc. and press a finger in to it. If your fingers impression stays in the meat, it's still rare. When it start to push back, take them off, put on a grate with a tinfoil tent over, and serve five or eight minutes later. Yum!"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are."
