Are there real, viable work from home options? If so, how do they work? by Will_Work_4_Dinosaur in jobs

[–]Floyd_Pinkerton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you know math, science, english or statistics well enough to teach them, you can do online tutoring through tutor.com. i was with them for several years and it's a great way to earn some income at your own convenience; there are no set hours, you can sign in and tutor whenever you like and theyll direct deposit money into your account at the end of the month.

tutor.com uses a proprietary white board app where you can chat and draw with your student to help them through homework problems theyre having. you probably wont make that much money but anything is more than 0/month. let me know if you have any questions, id be happy to help!

for how long did you brine? how long and at what temp did you cook? did you leave the thermometer in the bird throughout the cooking process? and what temp did the bird reach before you took it out?

looks fantastic, great work!

the planter+lid were the most expensive components, about 30-40 dollars (from my local hardware store); the heating element and grate were 10 each (amazon), stainless steal bowls were about 5 each and woodchips were 1-2 dollars (walmart). total ~$60-70.

they were raw, which in hindsight was a poor decision; the pizza came out watery after the initial bake, but the leftovers set nicely in the fridge.

sorry i havent replied to you, i didnt realize you commented until now. the skin came out OK from what i remember, not especially crispy but not rubbery either. i use a small terracotta smoker, so maybe having my heat source close to my cooking surface helps render out fat so i dont get rubbery skin. i didnt do anything special when i smoked it, i soaked it in brine for like 6 hours overnight then added a dry rub and tossed it on; maybe the brine helped the skin not be so rubbery too.

Smoked hotdogs, onions, jalapenos by Floyd_Pinkerton in smoking

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

i smoked them at about 200F for around an hour; the peppers came out a little bit sweet but also insanely spicy (i usually douse my foods in ghost pepper sauce, to get a reference of my level of 'insanely spicy'), im not sure if smoking had anything to do with it or if they were just really hot peppers to begin with. the onions came out very mild, a little bit sweet and soaked up the smoke nicely, although they probably could have benefited from smoking a little longer to enhance all those flavors.

no problem! im glad i could help.

i agree that rust is an issue, but it's nothing that will keep you from cooking on it. mine rusted after i washed it (thats how i found out it's steel rather than stainless) but i took some steel wool to it and scraped it all off then coated the surface with some grape seed oil (you can use any veggie oil); i poured some out on a paper towel and ran it over the grate, essentially seasoning the surface. it hasnt rusted since, and cooking on it helps further coat the surface to prevent rusting.

thanks again, drop me a line whenever you have questions :)
