    This is my second cook on my new Large. The first one was a whole chicken on the Joetiseorie.
    This one is the first non-rotisserie  cook. I’ve got a tri-tip going. I’d cooked lots of these on my previous Medium before it was broken; it's probably my favorite steak. Here’s the trip-tip on the cast iron grate. It’s the first time for that grate, too, of course.
    After resting for 45 minutes, salted, while the LBGE heated up, the tri-tip was seared at 600 for 2 minutes per side - this was the first time I had the Large above 400 - and then cooked at 375-400 for 4 minutes per side until it reached 132 internal. I let it rest for plenty of time and then put it in the fridge. The next day, I removed it and sliced it for sandwiches while it was still cold.
    I set the slicer for 1.5mm.
    Naturally, I had some on sourdough with mayo, salt and garlic powder. It sure was good!




    Well played!    Tri tip is one of my favorites.   Never intentionally done one for next day sandwiches but have repurposed leftovers for exactly that.   Looks wonderful.

    @Corv Creative cook right there.  The sliced pic is great.  Way to work your LBGE.

    It was either -4 or -6 or -7 when I went out to get the paper this morning, depending upon which thermometer to believe. No outside cooking here today!

    Damn @DoubleEgger Now I want to visit the local Iranian supermarkets to kick the tires on the real McCoy, not made in China imitation. OTOH the hacker in me is thinking: can I modify one of our many rice cookers to produce the crust? 
    Edit: Also wondering...cook rice in IP, when ready turn it to Saute and figure out the duration by trials and errors!

    You can get the tahdig in a large nonstick pot. Most of the recipes I found involved using the pot. I bought the cooker because I didn’t have a nonstick pot.

    I saw a method to do it in a pot, I think in Cooks Illustrated, but it was kind've involved, balling the rice up in the center, poking holes into it with your fingertip, etc.  Haven't tried it myself yet.

    @GrateEggspectations Why do you need two ash removal tools? And who cares if the Benzomatic hit the deck since it comes with lifetime warranty, right  ;)

    This one’s for @Canugghead.


    I am very jealous of your setup. For real looks like a lot like what I saw on my work trips in Europe. Tons of snow here too the last two days! What are you cooking?

    By my better half. Ramen in shrimp shell broth, with homemade shrimp wonton and chili oil.


    I would crush that-kinda like everything you post here.  Congrats to your better half.  Nailed that cook and presentation.

    Way to bring it home! That is quite a photo right there! Meat lovers dish...
    My take on paella is just like pizza and the dough, get the rice right and then anything goes.

    Lots of awesome in those pics @Foghorn. Need a love button. Likes don’t do this proper justice.
