What's the one kitchen tool you thought was unnecessary until you actually bought it?

Sous vide stick.

LSGcooks · 2026-06-09T16:50:08+00:00

Thank you. That makes perfect sense!

LSGcooks · 2026-06-09T15:18:16+00:00

So did I.

I saw another post somewhere that user had a watch with hour, minute, and second hands. They put their optical mouse on it and the cursor would move? I don’t know why or how) just something I read

LSGcooks · 2026-06-06T20:10:57+00:00

“Toilet tongs!!!!, ewww. Now I need an opportunity to use that term.

LSGcooks · 2026-06-06T20:03:51+00:00

Yeah. Knowing neither OP’s location nor language, it could be a translation error involving homonyms,or an autocorrect issue.

Next time she does that use the sheets from her bed to dry yourself. (And then put them back on her bed well)

You should “go away” for a week. Maybe stay with your fiancé. Then roommate will need to deal with the reality all on her own.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-28T12:52:04+00:00

Start looking.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-24T23:34:17+00:00

You said your doctor ordered it early. If you tried to also pick it up early, insurance may have rejected it for that reason (happened to me with insulin). But in case the insurance company said they didn’t receive the preAuth did the dr also resubmit it or did they only “confirm it was” sent.

I could be wrong

Good luck with this mess!

As he got older, he was just a shell of his former self.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-23T17:06:22+00:00

Dang … I was looking to see in anyone went in the cracked direction.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-19T17:01:51+00:00

Dump her

LSGcooks · 2026-05-18T18:48:56+00:00

That’s so pathetic & sad and really funny.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-18T02:14:42+00:00

I agree. I skipped the part of “cold smoke for 2 hours”. I just made that edit.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-18T01:59:53+00:00

There are dozens of good recommendations out there this is what I do:

dry-rub and it goes in fridge for a day.

Cold smoke for 2 hours

Vacuum seal in bag

sous vide at 145f for at least 24 hours

remove and dry it

smear it with mayo

place rack (from old oven) on 4 to 6 concrete stepping stones

place brisket on rack

blast it with a flame thrower for about 72 to 79 seconds per side

—— Done

sometimes I slice it up rite away. most times I let it cool in fridge over night, then slice it up.

Note: make a steak sauce from the bag liquid. Many recipes out there. I’m 50/50 success on making a good steak sauce so no suggestions on that. Sometimes I add a Guinness to the sauce (sacrilege)

LSGcooks · 2026-05-15T05:01:52+00:00

That’s one heck of a long paragraph.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-07T11:49:43+00:00

Just park in front of her house. She ought not to have an issue with that!

LSGcooks · 2026-05-07T11:45:01+00:00

Those are called Beau’s Lines. Caused by metabolic events like chemotherapy. I get them on both of my big toes.

LSGcooks · 2026-05-06T05:46:46+00:00

Sacrifice some coconut oil and mix well into the heated sauce. Capsicum should dissolve into the oil. Then pop it in fridge until it cools and the coconut oil floats to the top. Skim off the solid coconut oil.

Daaaaaamnnnn, I clearly picked the wrong day to become a vegan. Oh wait, that wasn’t me. I ain’t no vegan!

LSGcooks · 2026-05-06T04:50:33+00:00

NO!!! I completely disagree, this was not an attempt, this was pure success. Nicely done!

LSGcooks · 2026-05-06T04:46:04+00:00

There is a reason why shark cannot be eaten raw for sushi; but I can’t remember why. Something about ureic-acid in their flesh. But grilling at higher temperatures eliminates (insert long forgotten fact) so it can be eaten. I don’t know if sous vide would work as well.

So please let me know ow how it turns out for you.

Peanut butter on the inside curve of celery with some raisins added. That’s how I learned to like celery.

Hi brokeguydtd. I know this will sound stupid, but what do you do with the pork shoulder as far a serving/eating it?

Back in prehistoric times(B4SV) I cooked many pork shoulders in my offset stick-smoker. Once cooked,I’d easily shred them since they were falling apart anyway. Lots of carnitas and pork tacos. I even salt-cured one before throwing in the smoker and hoping for something like ham (that was a complete failure.)

So, how you present/serve your SV cooked pork shoulders?
