NotIThatLives Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 18 hours ago, FritzIam4IU said: what is everyone cooking up this weekend? I am smoking one baby back rib slab and some corn on the cob today. Kicking off the dog days of summer... Side note: Meijer is having pork shoulders on sale for .99 a pound next week...I think I'm going to grab 2-3 to freeze for the rest of summer/fall. I'm cooking today and was just looking at the ads. Meijer is looking good. Thinking slow cook carnita style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Did chicken (again) but on the gas grill. Didn't want to bore with a repetitive pic, but 2 things... Brining bone in chicken breast for 2-3 hours before cooking makes it. I use a real simple brine of water, kosher salt, brown sugar, and peppercorns. Tender and juicy. Also, my wife has been in this low sugar kick, so I used this sauce made by Sweet Baby Ray's. I normally put BBQ sauce on after I've reached 165 degrees internal temperature and continue cooking at the lowest heat setting for 10 minutes to get the sauce tacky (and you'd be surprised the internal temperature doesn't go up much). Most sugary sauces carmelize some. This one didn't, but still came out great. Not bad...note they took the "Sweet Baby" off the name...clever...

However, if you want to get a great sauce, contact Wafflehead Fred.... and have him send you a jar of his homemade sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Doing something new tonight. Spatchcock chicken. Before pic. Finished product in about an hour or so. So, forgot to take a picture after but turned out great. Edited August 5, 2020 by mrflynn03 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I know this isn't grilling or smoking, but I think we can slip some steaming in here, can't we? King crab, with corn on the cob, my wife's homemade slaw, and cold boiled pink Key West shrimp for an appetizer... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) No pics because I had a hectic day and was in a fog by dinnertime, but I bought a "weber wok" last week and broke it in yesterday on the weber kettle grill with a stir fry and lo mein noodles. I'll try to get a pic next time. I did use lots of zucchini from the garden...which was nice. Edited August 9, 2020 by FritzIam4IU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we put several plants in our vegi garden every year for her. And grow so much that we wind up giving to appreciative neighbors Congrats on your Weber kettle grill. Sure it will give you many years of useful use.... as have mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too...Crab legs are cooked on the boat when they're caught then blast frozen, so anyway you slice it you're simply reheating them... I prefer steaming with salt water because it gives them that "taste of the sea." I've had them grilled where they are very good as well, but if they're on too long, they get dried out... And I usually do grill corn if I'm grilling meat to go with it, but if not, I use my Mom's old method...Boil a pan of water with a Tbsp of lemon juice and a Tbsp of sugar...put in the corn and boil for 5 minutes...remove from heat and let them sit in the water for 10 more minutes...Mom knew what she was doing in a kitchen...

tdhoosier Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Anybody had the Tuscan Pork at Costco? It’s a bunch of pre-marinated pork tenderloin bites. You can get a couple pounds of it for under $20. We split it up into a 4-5 serving for my wife and throw it in the freezer. Such a bargain and really tasty. I’m throwing it on the smoker right now.

Also have a Weber grate that I can add charcoal on either side as I indirect in the center of the grill. Flips up on both sides. I know you are into grilling. I highly recommend both for you.

Drroogh Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Question for all of you grillaholics during these CoV times did any of you go postapocalypse and buy a few hundred pounds of charcoal? 😜 Edited August 9, 2020 by Drroogh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...the wok was right on top of the coals and it definitely was hotter than on our electric range. I might spring for the griddle as well.
