I don't think I have ever commented in this thread but do enjoy lurking since I too like to cook it up, but my gosh... I would starve with the chef portions around here. I would need like 4 plates for myself. I guess I'm just a lazy American fatass. Lol.

No offense Tif. I wanted to tell you this like 150 pages ago. ;-)
They are hero plates, specifically for picture taking. I'd starve if that's all the more I fed myself.

We both had seconds, fwiw.

You dont lurk enough lol. That's not tiff's portion. He just makes a fancy pants plate for the camera. Then he eats straight out of the cookware.

You're right, I don't read every comment. I've seen every picture though and have read everything Tif p,and C2I posted below their pictures.... :)

I had always figured those were art-plated portions. Figured it was time to find out for real. Haha.

Based on the lunch I just had, it seems like more people should be going down the smoked lamb route. Combined with a very tangy barbeque sauce and a side of baked beans. Well, that was just fantastic. The place I went to doubles as a car wash (and is strictly takeout), so I just ate off the hood of the car and enjoyed the nice day. :thumb:

Lodge 10" Cast Iron Griddle. It has been used to make grilled cheese sandwiches, pancakes (with a crusty edge, please), and as a plancha to blister tomatoes, onions, peppers for salsas and marinades in the blender.

At first when I received it, I was not sure what to do with it. It has found its fair share of use.

Very novice cook vote? Yay.

Absolutely. I prefer the large, reversable rectangular ones with no handles; I use them as a plancha on the grill during summer, a la BigMcK.

Turkey is in a brine right now for tomorrow's deep frying festivities. I tried a brown sugar and cayenne brine with dijon mustard but it had a foul odor to it.. didn't want to risk it since it's feeding about 15 people. So I just went with a salt and regular sugar brine

I haven't deep fried one in a couple years, but yeah. I brine AND inject with a flavor mixture. Best bird I've ever eaten.

Perfect. Absolutely exquisite. I would not add the basil until about 45 seconds from the end of the cook, but that's just me.

I'm hungry.

I did this one last time I deep fried a bird: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emer ... ecipe.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Inject into all parts.

And I agree on the basil, tif. I always put mine in at the last minute when making pizza.
