Look good! @Grenadier

@Deleted Userand that drink sounds interesting, a must try😉

Looks good, how was it? @Grenadier

It came out good. Two was way too much meat for one person though.

I think I'm going to smoke my first brisket tomorrow. I love to BBQ and do a really good smoked pork spare ribs and butt, this gonna be interesting

Hey all! I.E. Lit channel is putting together a cookbook. If you want to submit a recipe, DM me.

Funny thing is, when I cook it's rarely the same every time. Every "recipe" I do, always includes a little (maybe more) beer in me while I do it, so I add stuff for flavor that always makes it a little different

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL So make something up. You sound super creative! :)

ya I could give you my ribeye steak recipe (I kinda use the same marinade for any steak I do, too). Rarely change it, other than the brand of red wine I put in it. Always perfect.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I do scratch biscuits (so easy to do, you'll never wanna buy them in the can again), tortillas, alfredo sauce, lasagna, lots of different things

Perfect! This'll be a fantastic addition!

This recipe is proof that slow-cookers are magic

Use the inner bowl

You can leave the apple pieces fairly large because they will melt in your mouth

I topped it with more maple syrup, but I bet a little powdered sugar would be great too.

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL YES Brisket Nationalism!

Hey so I've been trying to start hard boiling eggs to bring to work and I think I'm doing something wrong. They come out fully cooked and they taste fine but they are really hard to peel. My mom used to make eggs where the shell would basically fall off on its own. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

^ I’m having the same problem. They’re even hard to peel right out of the water and when I run cold water over them.

Shock them in ice water right out of the pan

^ that’d be my suggestion as well

@John O - @Zyzz thanks

I usually have success peeling them under running cold water soon after boiling them. My wife says she does the ‘ice bath’ thing after cooking them in her instant pot.

If anyone has advanced cooking questions let me know, I’m a serious home chef with past restaurant experience. French cuisine mainly, but i can also smoke and ferment meats. I’m no baking expert but I can make leaven bread.

You should post recipes. I do some cooking myself, always looking for something new

Hey beer brewers. After all these years it looks like brewing my own beer costs about the same as buying a lot of the beers that I like. Am I missing a calculation?

Makes sense. You're familiar with economy of scale, @Deleted User?

No

But I think I can guess at the concept.

The more you make of something, the cheaper it is per unit. A way to conceptualize it is to consider how long it takes to set up all your tools to do a job, and then realize that it doesn't take much longer to set up a large job than a small job. So a small job has a higher % of time and resources spent in preparation, so higher cost per unit

This is also why things are cheaper in bulk. If you buy a bag of yeast, remember that Anheiser-Bush buys yeast by the silo

After years of cooking just about every cut of meat, I come back to the shoulder every time: lamb should, beef shoulder (chuck), pork shoulder (Boston butt), venison shoulder. The connective tissue renders at low temperatures to produce the best flavor and texture. Plus shoulder is very affordable.

*If you buy a bag of yeast, remember that Anheiser-Bush buys yeast by the silo* haha this is a great quote

Bacon Jam

I make mine a bit chunkier than most for texture

@Deleted User as a person whose heritage is one quarter German autiste, it blows my mind that anyone got anything done before the Industrial Revolution

@Deleted User Shoulder, in all it's forms, is fantastic. Great for smoking - obviously like you said low and slow works best - cheap cut comparatively, if you're single you can always divide into several single-use cuts and freeze. Been buying Boston butts and going four sections, enough for me and my wife ends up being about $2 per meal for the protein.

You can pressure cook that to tender in about 90 minutes as well if you're pressed for time and don't care about the smoke.
