It is all getting lost in to many posts we need to list the rules, like no extra equipment. just you, your egg and lump. any size egg, the judge or judges. how many ingredients? one pic must be of the raws, the cook and one with a newspaper for the date what else? just one dish? or the whole meal? one dish might be better and then the cook can choose the sides? just thinking of time and $$ for some. and the plating pic is good. it will show the sides that are chosen. what else? who will draw the ingredients? how will we decide them. email the list to someone and then they draw 2 or three that have to be used in the dish?

no meat thermometer?
let's hope the first throwdown isn't a rib roast.
i think the "newspaper" thing is a little over the top. for one thing, after a while we'll have great looking pics of a number of cooks, but all with a newspaper jammed into view. hahaha not very photogenic.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
Let's not regulate the darn thing into submission.
How about...the mystery ingredient is X. Cook it and post photos. -
Please feel free to make suggestions, add mystery ingredients, etc. Creativity is not one of my strong suits.
-
Well Steven wanted more detail. :blink:
-
-
I like this but two ingredients will make it a bit more challenging? and that would be good. we do not want to scare away anyone from doing this. and a thermometer is kind of a must, i think.... but nothing else. we want it to be cooked right
-
Wouldn't soup be eliminated or can one use cookware?LBGE Katy (Houston) TX

Julie, can you take ownership of the mystery ingredient(s)however you see fit, and let us all know tommorow?
I added meat thermometer to exception list.
Anyone wanting to change something feel free. -
LOL pots and pans would be allowed funny guy! and I have been contacted by someone that wants to be a secret judge. LOL they can not be bribed that way. what do you think??
-
Oh darn; I thought this post was going to be a new event at the next EggFeast. I was wondering if we had to throw a MINI or small. Since my shot put days I felt pretty confident that I could at least place in the top three.
-
so we need two more judges. I don't think Neil is right as I want to cook too and he would never vote for me

Secret judge, hmmmm. Afraid there could be some wrath from the forum. Kidding, really hope this thing stays friendly.
Cookware is good. As for the rest of the rules, I like simplicity so the resulting posts will have a variety of dishes. We all win with new ideas.LBGE Katy (Houston) TX -
I trimmed it down for you two guys.
we dont really want "cookware" do we? The point here is being creative with the basics, right? -
I think cookware yields more options and results.....but the first thing is to keep the rules simple and get it started. After a few weeks we can start a thread to keep it as it is or what tweak. Maybe the rules change by season; right now it's summer and caveman style should probably rule. Of course it's summer for 7 to 8 months of the year here.LBGE Katy (Houston) TX
-
LOL I think we have about 3 days and 2 hours left of summer!
-
Where are we on the cookware subject? Any other regulars wanna weigh in?
-
since it is summer and there is caveman talk .. no cookware? this eliminates any sauces other than cold or store bought??? use of one pot for a sauce ??? or go buy it and put it on the grid? no pots..
perhaps for this first time the chosen ingredients grid on the ring and what ever you can cook with tongs and a thermopen..
!!!!!! once the rules are established i suggest we ask the mods to "pin' them at the top of the page so we can all have easy access to the rules,,
just my 2 ¢ -

Julie,
I'll volunteer to put five ingredients in a hat and have Brianna draw them. I want to do the cook but I will exclude myself from the judging. That is if it is OK with everybody else.

Gunnar,
You had to rub that in didn't you.

Sounds Good Steven. Julie is running point on the ingredients, I hope.
It's funny, I started the original post about cooking with NO accessories and evdidently alot of folks cook that way anyway. Others suggested we add ingredients and judges, now we are talking pots and pans? LOL. At that point it has nothing in common with my original idea. -
Gonna be hard to have rice or lentils in the mix

I didn't mention looking for lost grids on the next snow melt. Ooops.LBGE Katy (Houston) TX

How bout making a "bowl" from tin foil and adding your water a little at a time to your rice? I have seen much more creative stuff than that on this forum and various campsites.

Ron,
I'm good. Show me the ingredients.
