    Quoted from punkin:

    Yes, if that's the sneery uppity way you want to look at a superior method, then that's what you can do. You're loss as one of us has tried it many ways.
    I don't care about the rules you impose on yourself, but you have no right to impose them on me.
    Plus i reckon my ribs at 3,2,1 would be at least as good as your 4.5 hour ones that you think i would not even be able to imagine doing.
    You've been rude, judgemental and disrespectful mate in a thread where people are getting along fine.

    Maybe I'm mistaken but you were asking for recommendations on how to cook ribs, because as you said, " I can't get them neither tender or juicy " ,
    I gave my recommendation, made my comment on probaly why yours are NOt " neither tender Or juicy " and you jumped my shit . Ok, good luck with your ribs Mate !
    And by they way , I have experienced this style of ribs in many restaurants and they suck, neither tender or juicy

    #402 3 years ago

    Yes, once again you are mistaken
    I didn't ask for recommendations as i have enough experience to KNOW the best way to cook them. You assumed i was such an idiot i wouldn't even be able to imagine how to cook them.

    Sometimes when i'm butchering a pig i'll bone the ribs out, turn them into sausage and fry them, what does your rule say about that?

    I've been known to turn them into salami too.

    Quoted from golfingdad1:

    Ok, so its meat in bag being cooked below boiling point.
    Not how ribs should be done .
    I dont know about other meat but not ribs .

    Ribs are FANTASTIC sous vide. Don't knock it until you try it.

    #410 3 years ago

    Sure. It's PM (afternoon) now for me, so in my happy space.

    Rule #1. No drama.

    My friends make fun of me for saying it, but i try to live that way as much as a i can.

    I apologise for coming out swinging, i should have more restraint.

    Quoted from djreddog:

    Round 2 of wings done. Left side was tossed in the now world famous Old Bay hot sauce, and the right was tossed in some traditional Texas Pete sauce.[quoted image]

    Oh man you’re lucky to have that old bay sauce like finding hens teeth up here!

    #414 3 years ago

    I see lots of nice smokers and sous vide - you guys are more sophisticated than me. My cooking tools are a charcoal grill made
    from a gutted propane grill, a newer propane grill with side sear and rotisserie bar and I also have an instant pot and an oven.

    You guys will probably laugh but I use the instant pot for my ribs. I toss in a can of coke and let the ribs cook on high pressure for 20 mins. After that I rub and sauce them and toss on the grill for 10 mins or so. It’s so easy and fast I can make it for a weeknight supper and the meat falls off the bone.

    Wings I struggled with on my grills and I want to get a smoker but don’t have one yet so have to work with what I have. Again you guys may laugh but I found a good oven method that involves boiling the wings to render out some of the fat, then baking them on a rack in the oven. They turn out great with crispy skin - I toss in sauce and good to go.

    Research the "snake method", you dont need a fancy & expensive Traeger etc for smoking..

    You can do almost everthing with a Weber Kettle gold for $150
    For wings I use the Vortex and for offset and smoking I use the Slow n Sear

    Going crazy today making something for first time.
    Taco’s Al Pastor meat tower on the Weber kettle[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    Love me some Al Pastor. That is something I need to make here soon! how did you top them? My wife can't have onion or garlic so i make a simple salsa with roma tomatoes, charred corn, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.

    My wife does most of the inside magic, seasoning and sauces.I do the meat prep marinate and actual applying of seasons.
    The Al Pastor cook was a little different then most other cooks I've done in the past,but I have to say it was so good the last couple of days.

    #420 3 years ago

    I plan on making a vertical rotisserie hopefully this summer. going to find an old air take (as long as its not galvanized) and have trays to put charcoal in and figure out a way to do the rotisserie. if you haven't watched, check out taco chronicles on Netflix. makes me want to make a lot of tasty tacos.

    Dinner. Baked potatoes with garlic butter and entrecote with bearnaise. And some refried veggies left over since yesterday.

    Hmmm I don’t see bearnaise sauce....which is a sabayon base with clarified butter added at the end.
    The plate presentation is very nice though!

    The wrapped one is a pork shoulder for dinner and the other is an experiment. It’s a cut I have from 1/2 a pig I bought awhile back. I’ve always wrapped pulled pork, but I’m going to power through the stall on this one and see how it tastes.

    Decided to let the chili sit for another day in the fridge and made some Thai Basil Chicken instead. Little too much fish sauce but it was tasty.

    Beef Pot Roast. I made this in the crock pot overnight. I hope that the cooking technique and plate are acceptable.

    Looks tender and juicy, so your technique is good .

    Quoted from golfingdad1:

    The secret is to use chuck roast as it's pricier than shoulder roast, but is more tender and has a little more fat than shoulder roast.

    I can get the Chinese Roast Pork, cooked and sliced at my supermarket now. So my sweet pork buns are reallty simplfied to make from a 3 stage recipe to something quite simple.

    I use a dough mix from the Asian supermarket to save me the measuring and then just chop some store bought roast pork in with the sauce recipe i posted earlier. 15 mins to make the filling now instead of 3 days.

    Thanks! They turned out great.

    I used this recipe. Instead of Salt I added 1/2 teaspoon of the pictured Cavender’s Greek seasoning. Restaurant quality souvlaki with that stuff.

    https://www.food.com/recipe/pork-souvlaki-39526

    I also made some Tzatziki with sour cream because I didn’t have any Greek yogurt in stock.

    Cooking Aussie Style

    This guy can actually cook !

    #450 3 years ago
    Quoted from romulusx:

    Make sure to come back and give us your reviews.Ive always just done pork shoulder without wrap.

    I'm not sure it was a fair comparison since the one I didn't wrap was so much smaller than the other. With that said, here is my take away;

    The one wrapped turned out the way it normally does. It was very juicy and had a great flavor. The one I didn't wrap looked beautiful, but it was tough. The bark was almost crunchy and it had a much harsher smoke flavor. It also took about 3 hours more to cook than the one that was wrapped.

    I'd like to do the test again, but use two shoulders of the same size. But initial impression was that I definitely prefer wrapping.
