Where my fellow cooks at???

[Shyster]

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.

Can you ask her why the handles suck?

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.

If I remember, certainly. But Thomas Keller seems to like them, and his opinion might out-rank yours...

[mac5155]

I would agree 100% but the same all clad set is 3.5x the price. I love All clad

Give your guests the option of buying :pop:

We probably will :thumb:

I got some really nice looking lamb shanks. Going to braise them this afternoon with all sorts of veggies and what not and make a lamb ragu out of it. I'm excited as I love lamb, but besides ground lamb for meatballs or gyro meat, this is my first attempt at cooking it.

I tend to use an 80/20 lean/fat mix for burgers.
Outside of bothering the butcher or doing it yourself, is a 70/30 mix readily available?

Costco had it last summer.

Ive always been a big fan of boxed already made burgers.

Onion Bubba burgers are good.

Ballpark Franks make a good (non hotdog) burger.

Ew premade burgers? Hello pink slime.

Your butcher has a machine to make burger patties if it's that hard.

Every time I think about getting a leg of lamb, I look at the price tag and put it down.

I got it at a market in Cleveland... pretty decently priced.

Do you cook just to take pictures or is that the portion you would eat as well?

[pittsoccer33]

Is that the sort of thing that would be relatively easy to cook in an oven, like a strip roast?

I've never had lamb before and I've wanted to try it.

I also recently tasted rare tuna steak. I was amazed - it tasted pretty good, kind of like chicken. Anytime someone opens a can of tuna it smells like rotting trash. But I liked this. What gives?

you need to douse lamb in salt or other seasoning for it to taste decent. in a world where beef is a thing, lamb shouldn't be a thing.

I usually do a 'hero plate' for pictures. It's difficult to make a good looking plate out of normal-sized portions.

Lamb is not something that does well when cooked past medium-rare (which for lamb is ~140°F). I actually prefer it (like nearly all meats) much more on the rare side, but as long as you don't go over 140 you should be good.

I have never heard anyone describe tuna as tasting like chicken.

I've found that all you need to do to lamb to make it taste delicious is kill the sheep.

Lamb is delicious. This one was braised, so obviously well past the 140 F.

[viva la ben]

The best lamb I ever had was made by my brother in law's family. It's called Mansaf, the national dish of Jordan. Misc chunks of lamb are braised in a sauce made from a rock hard dried yogurt, and served over rice with pine nuts herbs and slivered almonds. It tasted like tangy lamb pot roast.

Should have been more clear with what I was saying... was talking about rib racks.

Understood. Totally different cuts, so you always have to keep in mind what you're cooking and how you're cooking it.
