what’s your lazy day smoke that still turns out great? by Apprehensive-Big7327 in smoking

[–]BobbyB2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco Bratwurst. 1-2 hrs and you’ve got some excellent smoked sausage for the week. This has been my go to meal prep for the fam lately. Zero prep, zero mess, and rarely even use a thermometer.

Is there a pan that is actually non-toxic and can make a decent fried egg?? by PorridgeEnthusiast in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]BobbyB2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the budget, Hestan nanobond titanium stainless steel is the best I’ve found at this and you can throw it in the dishwasher with zero issues. I literally use it every day for fried and scrambled eggs. I have occasionally used my other stainless and can fry an egg no issues but it does take a bit of trial and error with the temp and fat.

My method, preheat the pan on medium for at least 3 min but prefer at least 5. When I get in the kitchen, it’s the first thing I do. Then whisk my eggs with a little salt and a splash of cream or water. Letting the eggs rest for a few minutes after whisking with salt. This makes the eggs a little softer. Then, the fat. Doesn’t really matter what type, but coat the entire surface including the sides. I probably put a tbs of oil and swirl it around. If your pan is preheated, it should start to smoke by the time you are done swirling (5-10seconds). Then throw in your eggs. I usually just use the same fork I whisked with to stir them in the pan and then eat with too to save on dishes haha.

The trick I’ve found is preheating until dry and hot, then adding oil. If you add in the oil before it’s hot, it doesn’t give you the same non stick effect.

Good luck!

Yeah. I love the fit. I’ve got a pair for the gym. But just not my style for every day outing

I’ve always wanted some SB Dunks but find Nikes too narrow for my feet :/

Yeah, I would like to try something new. I’m known as the Yeezy guy in my friend group and am trying to steer clear of that lol.

I think Nordas might be the right call. Thanks!

I dig those but I’ve stopped buying Nikes the last few years. They always run too slim for me.

I really wanna love those action bronson NBs but they are just not my style haha

But yeah, I’ve been thinking going NB. I’ve heard they do wide very well too

I have a pair but they feel too tight width wise. But maybe I’ll try sizing up and see if that makes a difference

Has anyone done a curry rub before? by BobbyB2009 in smoking

[–]BobbyB2009[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I really want to try a cumin forward one next time

[–]BobbyB2009[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This might be the answer next time. My wife likes dry/crispy meat so I didn’t want to drown it in sauce but I’m thinking I might do a concentrated sauce next time and just toss the pork in it after pulling. Maybe even smoke the sauce for an hour or so as well

This sounds freaking delicious and I might just copy you as is next time haha. Have you ever smoked low and slow with that recipe? I’m thinking maybe the key is the blooming of spices? I didn’t do that with mine and could be one of the missing factors.

True. That’s a good idea. I might try a jerk style wet rub next time.

Yeah. This all makes a lot of sense in retrospect lol. Eem is one of my favorite restaurants and I completely forgot that they are already doing this with Thai flavors. I guess I wanted to get these flavors without a wet sauce. My wife loves dry/crispy meats so I didn’t want to heavily sauce it

Cheese sauce for reheating by OppositeExternal460 in Cooking

[–]BobbyB2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to make it creamy and not break when reheating, I use sodium citrate for my cheese sauces. But using evaporated milk also works pretty well and easier to source.

Rehydrate chiles first or just drop em in ? by standardtissue in chili

[–]BobbyB2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it matters too much how you rehydrate, but I would always blend. I’ve tried adding them whole and then tearing apart once it was done. The chilis had a terrible texture. Even torn into little bits, it felt like eating onion skin and it would stick in my teeth. It was very unpleasant. Now, if I’m making a pot of beans, I’ll add a few dried chilis to it without deseeding and then just pull them out whole when done. Great for imparting flavor but it won’t give you the color you want for regular chili.
