    I would smash this..... hard
  • Thanksgiving roll test run! Feeling pretty damn good about these!




    Would you please share your recipe?? Those look absolutely insanely incredible. If you can’t, I get it. I’ll take my pumpkin pie recipe to the grave.

    Absolutely, they are King Arthur milk bread rolls. The real trick to making these that isn’t mentioned in the recipe is to rough mix the ingredients into a shaggy wet dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before starting to work it. I do this for all breads to let the dough hydrate. Makes a huge difference.

    @Eggdicted_Dawgfan - great cook and result right there.  Quite a banquet.

  • Thanks Frank. The meal definitely outperformed the show. The juice wasn’t bad either.

    Caveman finished Picanha (around  3 lbs post-trim) with a bit too much sun tan for me.  Taste was amazing-SRF Black.
    Reverse seared but no slow cook pics.

    And the $$ shot:
    The beef forward flavour (nod) is what really brings this cut home.
    Thanks for lookin'. 

    That looks perfect.  One of my favorite cooks.  I don't usually sear it though.  I find that when I do sear it, I'm not any happier with the bark and I take the risk of overcooking it.

    My daughter just said to me, “Can I talk with you and you not get a big ego?”  

    Me: Of course
    Daughter; Your chicken soup was really good. Can you make this weekly so there is always some in the fridge for me?
    Me: Of course honey, I’m glad you enjoyed it. That makes me happy.
    Also me: Does a humble brag on the forum. 😬

    Wasn't sure whether to post this in the "What are you chef-ing tonight" thread or the "What are you doing now" thread. Since I do cook, albeit poorly, I figured this was the place
    Last night I cooked a three-pound meatloaf on my Medium BGE. Here it is on the grill.

    And here it is cooling afterwards. I took it to 155 internal, and the dome temps started at 450 and gradually dropped to 300. Got done just a few minutes before sunset.

    Since it was too hot to put back in the shed. I left it out. Unfortunately it was windy last night. The cart blew over.
    Since I’d gotten a Mini and it was just resting on top of the cart, when I saw the wreckage I figured that it was a goner. It was at the top end of the whip as the cart tipped. Fortunately it landed in snow and is fully intact.
    Unfortunately the Medium did not. The base is smashed and that ring thing is too. The dome survived and the bottom part did as well - I don’t know the part names; the current BGE manual is all visual and doesn’t have nomenclature.
    Fortunately tomorrow is trash day, so at least the ruined parts will get hauled away rapidly, and since the Mini survived, I don’t have to go vegetarian. Also, I won’t need more charcoal for a little while.
    Could have been worse.
    I’m looking for either a Large BGE or a KJ.
    The storage issue is peculiar. With current cart and the Roccbox there’s no room for a new cart in my shed. So I’ll have to work through the option matrix here. I do want a cart for the Mini.

    @Corv I disliked your post because that sucks man. At least the mini made it out unscathed.

    Wow that’s a new kind of suck for sure.    Unreal.

    I “liked” your post for support. Really sorry to see that. Horrible luck. You don’t look like you cook “poorly” at all! I am sure you will replace the Egg and will be back up and running in no time. It’s not about how hard you fall; it’s about how you get back up.
