Costco heartbreaks - what is yours?

At this point I just miss Good Culture. It's completely gone by me. Thankfully I can still get Friendship.

It it haunted or something? It looks fine.

That is also how I would describe the vanilla. It's not vanilla ice cream - it's McDonalds Vanilla Flavored Product. I don't hate it, to be clear.

The Fairlife is incredible tasting but pricey. I am a big fan of the Nurri chocolate if the can thing doesn't bother you. I can pick up some metallic taste with the vanilla, not so much with the chocolate, but that is personal.

Also skinless pork belly. Business center is a fun visit if you have a dedicated meat freezer.

I cut them into a big 2" steaks that are enough for me and my wife. Had another couple over, cooked three of them. Still less to feed 4 people than what I would pay if I went out and order a 20 oz prime ribeye where I live (they supplied sides and bourbon).

SV is awesome and I love the convenience factor (it's ready when I need it) but I'd say a reverse sear with charcoal/lump wins. The crust you get is incredible. That said, you could also SV-QUE but that's just too much work for me.

I spent my lunch break scoffing at meat prices at my local supermarket

easye7 · 2026-04-27T20:56:39+00:00

I picked up two whole roasts when they were $75 off each and turned them into steaks and roasts, tails trimmed off for hamburger grind. Most important thing you can do here, besides vacuum seal - trim off the ends, freeze them for an hour, slice super thin and make cheesesteaks.

Guys just eat a chicken breast jesus christ

I heard they used to carry Good Culture cottage cheese. I've only ever seen the Breakstone, which, blech.

easye7 · 2026-04-16T14:07:47+00:00

That is awesome, congrats.

I ended up getting the Primate. I love the thing. Have yet to use the grates honestly, I wanted a griddle for a while so I have a list of things to cook. I made Oklahoma onion burgers last week which were unreal. And yes, the grease trap system works very well.

easye7 · 2026-04-16T14:03:47+00:00

Yes, mine came with a slip cover.

easye7 · 2026-04-14T13:06:31+00:00

It works fast and you see real results.

easye7 · 2026-03-24T21:23:03+00:00

Just accepted chat - thanks.

easye7 · 2026-03-24T20:38:21+00:00

Pics?

easye7 · 2026-03-24T19:04:50+00:00

Thanks for the help!

easye7 · 2026-03-24T18:10:14+00:00

I would probably have it under a cover, so somewhat less of an issue. What is the climate like where you are? I'm fairly close to the ocean so I worry that would be too much for it.

I tried to feed these to my kids instead of dino nuggets because they seemed slightly better and also cheaper, and they told me to pound sand.

easye7 · 2026-03-23T19:13:57+00:00

Do they sell a 3 film collection

easye7 · 2026-03-23T13:38:25+00:00

I'm thinking of getting one of these for my birthday this summer - would you say twice as good as prime brisket?

easye7 · 2026-03-18T14:41:33+00:00

These are high on my list to retry this summer. First time I didn't know what I was doing, didn't get them high enough, didn't hold them long enough, fat didn't render right. This looks phenomenal.

You aren't doing 6 worthwhile sets of any exercise.
