Awesome job Chief! That could be good with some cream, sort of a cream of mushroom w sausage.

I agree Kevin, oxtail. I've been watching some shows where they prepare oxtail and it looks amazing.

If I am grilling or smoking chicken it gets brined nearly 100% of the time. Unless you pull back the skin and salt, v little salt makes it into the meat. Even then, salt penetrates extremely slow, even in a wet or dry brine for a couple hours. In my brines typically I will add brown sugar...

I finally had a Big Mac again after years of not eating any McD's daytime sandwiches. It's the special sauce, the onions and shred lettuce combo that I like the best. Burger patties are tiny so I don't feel so guilty and it's not enough to mess w my gut. I'll give that a try Chief. Now, if...

Everyone will eventually be exposed to this virus. The SIP wasn't enacted to make the virus go away, it's there to slow the spread. Some won't be affected at all, a very small percentage will die and that percentage number will go down. I now in the last couple days have realized I may...

I saw that there seemed to be a cold canning and true canning techniques. I did ask what your cinco de mayo plans are. Mexican food to me is simple. I worked with a great woman 30 years ago who would be over a 100 years old today. She ran a Mexican kitchen I worked in for a few years. Her...

Yeah, I watched a Ball Canning video and looked for other reputable sources, like BA.

Right?! Tacos should be free somewhere lol.

Any special plans? Thinking I'm gonna make some carne guisada w rice. A video on pickling eggs w Frank's Red Hot came up on my YouTube recommended yesterday. Not knowing much about the process and thinking about all the places through life I've seen pickled eggs for sale and thinking who the...

I watched a lot of her shows when I was a kid. It wasn't only her getting away with crazy stuff back then. Watch any of the old cooking shows. Sanitation wasn't the same thing.

I agree w GimmeAnother1, Sam the cooking guy is good. Food Wishes I watch also, thats good stuff. Billy flav is good. All things bbq imo use and promote their seasonings far too much. Rick Bayless puts out some good vids too. If you want to learn how to cook, watching people on you tube...

Good thread. I've been binge watching Hell's Kitchen lately. I can't believe the positions these contestants hold. I get it, it's a stressful situation. Kitchens are stressful though. I can count on one hand how many times I plated something that wasn't fully cooked and still have fingers...

Got some locally made brats to grill.

I'd be skeptical. Most likely, close to 100% it's okay, but I've had food poisoning a few times. I'd gladly pay $20.00 not to each time. That's what makes me throw stuff out many times. Is it worth the cost of the food to not be sick?

My Grandma first off and foremost. Born around 1900, married Grandpa of course who had a farm in Ohio. She had 18 kids, one passed at infancy. They slaughtered pigs and cattle for themselves as well as plenty of wild game. The only thing she wouldn't cook was raccoon, tried it once and said...
