Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Has anyone tried making gravlox? I see plenty of recipes on how to cure the salmon and would like to try to see if it works, but wonder if anyone here has any advice to pass along?
My plan is to have a filet of cured fish that I can add about an hour of smoke to.
Thanks

Made carnitas tonight using the boiled in lard method, with homemade flour tortillas, cilantro lime slaw and pickled red onions. Amazing.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
It's kept at a constant lower temperature than actual frying(around 210-215 f), with a liquid, I used water, added to prevent from actually frying. For the last 25 minutes you crank the temp and the liquid evaporates to allow the fat to flash fry the outside. Super tender inside with a nice crisp on the outside.count2infinity wrote:isn't that called frying?

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Found a couple great recipes online yesterday, cooked them last night:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/wine-braised-beef-brisket/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alto ... ecipe.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The brisket was crazy easy to make, and I was very impressed how well it came out just braising it for 2.5 hours or so in the oven.
The mac and cheese was outstanding. I never even thought to let the panko crumbs mix into a small saute pan of melted butter before putting them on top, but that was definitely a game changer.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Did you use a true brisket cut of meat? I can't imagine a 2.5 hour cooking of a brisket would produce anything edible (unless it was a really good cut)

I picked one up at the grocery store, if that's what you mean. Fat cap and all. It was outstanding.mac5155 wrote:Did you use a true brisket cut of meat? I can't imagine a 2.5 hour cooking of a brisket would produce anything edible.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
interesting. I meant did u use a roast instead of brisket. In my brisket experience 6 hours is the minimum but I only do it at like 220 degrees.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Yeah I was skeptical for that reason. Was worried that 350 was going to be too high a temp at too short a time to create anything good.mac5155 wrote:interesting. I meant did u use a roast instead of brisket. In my brisket experience 6 hours is the minimum but I only do it at like 220 degrees.
Obviously, the brisket wasn't as tender as the much longer slow-cooking method, but it was still pretty damn tender. I'm wondering if the wine helped w/ that.

Got a set for my wedding in 1997. The two most used pots, 5qt? (maybe 6) and the 2 qt. are in pretty rough shape now, but the others are still pretty good.Letang Is The Truth wrote:anyone have experience with analon pots/pans?
Wait for the Macy's sale and the 20% coupon or some crazy deal like that.

Nevermind, we have the ones that looked more like this. Although a little different since they are old...like me.

Re: Where my fellow cooks at???
Because everything at macys houseware wise can be had at target or kohls for half the price. I don't need a $250 set of steak knives, or $80 a setting china. I felt bad putting stuff on our registry that was so expensive.

Exactly. We registered at Macy's and Target (not for the same things).Letang Is The Truth wrote:people can buy it if they want. register for less expensive stuff too. if people buy the expensive stuff, awesome. if they dont, at least you get a discount afterwards
Gave people a choice of spending level.
My great aunts and some of my wife's family would never be caught dead in a Target, whereas we are fine with it, so as stated, to each his own and something for everyone.
P.S. Target's fine china, isn't really.

My sister-in-law is a manager at All-Clad, so on her behalf I will say that Analon is crap and you should buy All-Clad.Letang Is The Truth wrote:anyone have experience with analon pots/pans?

Never heard of that method. Always braise in citrus juices and stock before shredding and frying in lard.Chefpatrick871 wrote:Made carnitas tonight using the boiled in lard method, with homemade flour tortillas, cilantro lime slaw and pickled red onions. Amazing.

Can you ask her why the handles suck?Shyster wrote:My sister-in-law is a manager at All-Clad, so on her behalf I will say that Analon is crap and you should buy All-Clad.Letang Is The Truth wrote:anyone have experience with analon pots/pans?
Didn't mean that to be quite so rude..... I love the build quality of the cookware, but I can't imagine it being possible for me to like the handles less. The profile/contour just...... it doesn't work for me.
