Yeah, if you left the lid on you basically just re-distilled the alcohol.shmenguin wrote:that's what i'm thinking - at least to some extent. while the ingredients seemed like a homerun, i was skeptical the whole time of the cooking method. the picture on the web site showed this thick, luxurious sauce, and i knew that wasn't going to happen from a slow cooker.blackjack68 wrote:Not sure of the science, but if the lid is on the crock pot, wouldn't the alcohol just steam in vs. escaping as steam?

Masterbuilt Electric Smoker
Not sure if I want to get a dedicated smoker, or just beef up my grill/smoker box. But if I do get a dedicated smoker, that's probably the one I'll buy. The modernist online cooking school ChefSteps uses these, as well.

i've struggled with my electric smoker. you need the temp to be pretty high to generate smoke. "low and slow" is a challenge.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
isn't the high heat just at the wood chips? won't it be pretty low heat in the rest of the smoker? or is that not how these work?shmenguin wrote:i've struggled with my electric smoker. you need the temp to be pretty high to generate smoke. "low and slow" is a challenge.

The heating element is at the bottom - under the wood chips, but it radiates throughout the whole smoker. it's all one open area inside.count2infinity wrote:isn't the high heat just at the wood chips? won't it be pretty low heat in the rest of the smoker? or is that not how these work?shmenguin wrote:i've struggled with my electric smoker. you need the temp to be pretty high to generate smoke.

i usually can't get smoke unless i'm at about 250 - which is higher than you'd like.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
oh, ok. is there some sort of piece on top (or bottom) that you could regulate flow of air into the smoker? I'd imagine that'd be the trick.shmenguin wrote:The heating element is at the bottom - under the wood chips, but it radiates throughout the whole smoker. it's all one open area inside.count2infinity wrote:isn't the high heat just at the wood chips? won't it be pretty low heat in the rest of the smoker? or is that not how these work?shmenguin wrote:i've struggled with my electric smoker. you need the temp to be pretty high to generate smoke.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Use a tray of ice in the smoker. Helps regulate the temp and the humidity. Obviously requires periodic refreshing, but the thermal energy required to melt ice is actually pretty high, so a six-hour smoke might only need 3-4 trays. Takes some trial and error - and learning the difference between 'wet bulb' and 'dry bulb' temperatures - but it yields a pretty fantastic result.

Just saw that Seattle native Mario Batali shared his family's Super Bowl menu. Traditionally, they prepare dishes representative of the two cities. The dessert course is "brownies".
