Sometime back, CenTex turned me on to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and it was an eye opening read...incredibly written!  

Well hot damn, a 4 episode series dropped last Thursday on Netflix!  Each element has it's own episode and I'm really enjoying the first episode (Fat) so far!!



Enjoy!!
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    What "Nietzsche" said (3rd quote above) is late night brisket camp.  Metaphorically.  Love = food + brisket camp.  So maybe there is some truth to the other two.

    Whatevz.  Thanks again.  Long time no see.

    I saw it too, and loved it. The big learning experience for me was "Salt." What a breakthrough, "When you use large kristals like Kosher salt you reduce the salt taste in your mouth." I had avoided kosher salt because I thought it would be too salty.

    Another good series on Netflix is Chef's Table. It is very similar, great production values in the series.

    Just found this myself on Netflix. The book was a real game changer for me and improved my cooking a great deal. 
    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...

    Geez Cazzy - your wings which are still a family favourite involve Salt, fat, acid and heat.....why are you surprised?

    Just finished watching the show. Both informative and visually appealing.
    I'd never seen the technique of salting a foccacia by pouring a salty brine over it. Will try that soon.
    I'm curious how much that honey in Yucatan sells for at the market. Sucking it out of the little "pots" with the body of a syringe is a very labor intensive process for such a small yield!
    In the last episode where she is testing the doneness of the steak by the feel test rather than using a Thermapen to check internal temp - I'm betting that will trigger a few folks. :)

    I haven't probed a steak in 3-4 years.  No need if I'm being honest.

    I always notice steaks look more rare at the same temp when I hot tub or sous vide them do they affect the feel test?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve read the book, but didn’t know about the series until you flagged it. Also, I have commitment issues, in that I can’t seem to commit to a series of anything. The fact that this is only four episodes long is a plus in my books.

    If you really want to trigger folks, watch the first episode of Michael Pollan’s Cooked on Netflix. 

    He sets out to ‘cue a suckling pig in his backyard, and a BGE is sort of in the mix. I won’t give it away, but watching them try to cook that pig is likely to induce a stroke or two.
