    Kiddos win.  Quite a sugar high waiting to be consumed right there.  
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Thanks to cazzy and JohninCarolina for the monster chop recipe. I couldn't wait.


    Indirect at 220° for forty minutes. Pulled when reaching 135°, rested for 10 minutes. 
    Placed in a hot cast iron skillet pooled with bacon grease for the sear.


     I just couldn't help myself and made some gravy

    Delicious 
    I would smash this. Nice showing

    Spicy and hot is smaller in diameter than the original conecuh. Yeah the breads thick but it soaks up all the cayenne infused evoo the peppers and onion were cooked in. Twas tasty

    @MasterC - as always, a banquet right there.  I would crush one of those.

    I’ve looked up where I can buy this sausage I’ve seen so often on this site here locally. I found a few stores (I NEVER would have expected they’d have it). Can’t wait to try it. That sandwich looks incredible.

    Nice y’all.  

    Sort of a lame plan tonight, but I’ve recently discovered that I’ve been missing out on the convenience of the air fryer. Got one several weeks ago and have not been disappointed yet. Doing traditional chicken wings tonight and they’re looking good. Don’t expect them to turn out amazing, but for the small effort involved I’m impressed. Only wish it would do more wings at once.

    Jealous. I love wings in the air fryer. Though I can’t complain, as I did some earlier this week. 🙂

    I love crispy wings and have found that browning them at higher temps and then turning down for a long fat rendering gives me sensational results.

    One batch with Buffalo wild wing asian zing sauce.  Made 4 batches with different flavors.  Pretty spot on. 
     


    @GrateEggspectations, what do you find is your sweet spot on time and temp?  These were dried off with paper towels, dusted with baking powder, little bit of Lawry’s, at 400 deg f, sprayed with some PAM canola, for about 20-22 minutes, shaking a coupla times during the cook. Tossed with sauce when they came out.

    Kinda like @caliking and ingredients, I do it by feel and don’t really recall cook times. Next time I do it, I’ll try to remember to make a note. But I usually go 400 or maybe 425 on air fry (maybe 10mins per side, but that’s a guess) and then lower it to 300 until it’s in the sweet spot. I find this gives me the results I am seeking much more so than the wings setting on the air fryer (Gourmia). Even just with S&P, I can’t get enough.

    Nice, this is the small instapot version of the air fryer.  Less than $100. Used the air fry setting as well. Was hesitant about another appliance gadget on the counter to be honest, but use it almost daily for the kids’ French fry habit.

    lol that one’s a classic and it does look like grandma Dyal.

    Agree re: counter space. I aspire to minimalism in terms of the kitchen. We store it in the pantry between uses. 

    What were the other flavours, and was there a favourite?
  • Dyal_SC
    Dyal_SC Posts: 6,239
    @GrateEggspectations , one batch of Asian zing, 2 batches of Parmesan garlic, and a batch of plain for the kids that they dipped in ketchup. Wife’s fave is the parm garlic. Those store bought BWW sauces are good, so are the kinders flavors. 
  • Ketchup dipped for the win! 🙃 Bet the boys loved them.

    Great cut going in and ever better after the cook.  Sweet.  Rib eye-my favourite (nod) steak cut and you nailed it.

    A local restaurant has something like that but with pulled pork. It's very good, but a bit of pickle would improve it.

    Just a single, modest NY Strip on the Mini. That thing is ideal for cooking for just myself, although the probe sticks out into the edge of the gasket a bit. 
    The first photo was taken about 20 or 30 seconds before pulling it at 133 F.
    The next one shows the internal temperature history. It was taken after it rested for about 10 minutes or so and was on the way down. I used a BlueDot graphing temperature device for this.

    Finally, proof that it was indeed edible, although a skosh too well-done for my own taste. But no complaints.

    For both probe electronics, and skewer handles, this is a good thing.   ;)
