MAYO
Comments

Rub sticks just fine without wasting a perfectly good condiment. And with much less mess.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Absolutely agree with @Carolina_Q. If you want to put something on there to help the rub stick just use some EVOOLBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

^^^^ or water

@RRP not being critical by all means do what makes you happy. I happy with EVOO or water and it's much less messy. That's all. Hell, we all do it different and it's all right!

Ron, he asked for our thoughts. I gave mine. Nothing more.

RRP said:MaC122 said:. . . Your thoughts?
'Do what you like with what you pay for' is a concept as time-honored as most of the principles this nation has held since its beginning. =D>
I remind myself of that principle every time I have to bite my tongue and refrain from posting shoot-from-the-hip, un-solicited ridicule of some of the trends/fads/crazes that I've seen sweep through this space.
In example, the "Caveman" method was actually bragged about by several of the regulars here. "WTF?!", I said to myself. Damn. They were proud that they'd dismissed centuries of grill grate technology! @-) Bless their hearts.
I damned near lost a pint of blood from biting my tongue so hard. But . . . as you say, it's their meat, they can char it if they want to.
Then, there was a minor wave of joy as some here were shown that they could make meat loaf stuffed with mashed potatoes! And macaroni & cheese. WTF?! Presumably because it's just too much trouble to move your fork 3 inches to scoop the mashed potatoes from your plate?! :-S
None of it matters. I like seeing all of it - even the silly sh!t - because I just might get an idea from it . . . or learn something from it. Or . . . actually like it.
As for the mayo thing, I plan to try it at least once. :-? We've done the mustard thing several times and find it to be 'okay' as a binding element, but not all that necessary. It imparts no taste that we can detect, so . . . ho hum. (We even tried spicy brown mustard. Again, snore.)
We'll try mayo and either adopt it or abandon it. If it enhances taste/crust/etc, we're in! If not, I'll just bite my tongue. Again. B-)
I'm with you, RRP. I want to see it all. We can discard what's crazy (to us) and keep what we like.
As the Yolkster says, "We all do it different and it's all right!" I'm sure Carolina_Q would agree.

Talking about mayo...use it in place of butter next time you make a grilled cheese sandwich. :-bd

:-O We're still talking 'food' here, right?

Hell, I've use a honey-sriracha mix for a binder for ribs before. Probably wouldn't do it again, but still better than 99% of the ribs I have in a restaurant. Point is, there are only one way to cook something "wrong" on the egg: cooking something in a way to you do not enjoy the finished product. Try things, go crazy, eat well.

I thought I had a original idea... then thought probably not and I was right. Going to try it anyways.

Mayo is pretty much just oil anyway and a bit of egg. I can see how it would work just fine like oil, but won't run on vertical surfaces. Until warm anyways.
This reminded me I haven't made my own mayo in a while, have to change that. -

Sometimes I roast chicken breasts with a Panko crumb crust. I like to coat the breasts in mayonnaise and then roll in bread crumbs. I feel I get a better coating of bread crumbs.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

The Mayo.... maybe softened the bark a bit? It’s been a while since I have smoked a butt so a side by side smoke would be better for comparison but for now I’m going to say it softened the bark and I liked it.
