There is no prep time for temple meat. It's already in small pieces


It still needs to be cubed.


I dont and it comes out fine, you have to cook temple meat down a lot more to get it real tender and not stringy, the fat content makes it easier to brown and makes a better gratin than boston butt, however butt makes a great jambalaya

Is rather, but it was my gfs decision.

I'll let her know she is insulting her heritage though.

Sure. Just a preference but i find most people would rather smaller chunks they can eat with the rice.

Temple shrinks down a good bit when cooked. Some of the pieces can be kind of big but its so tender you can cut it with the serving spoon.

I'm aware. Still prefer smaller pieces and not needing to chop with spoon or fork when holding beer.

Try Ralph's on Jones Creek. It is usually frozen, so allow time for thawing.

This pot has about 45 lbs of temple meat in it. I'd say there's no "cutting" neccesary.

And I'd say there is . I don't like the larger chunks and I can tell you that I'm not alone in that, as I often see those large chunks thrown away at tailgates.

Does look good though.

we sell roughly 250 bowls a week out of that pot... people are choosing the bowl with the bigger pieces of meat.

Ok you're right. It's not preference. Everybody likes the huge chunks.

Ok, another problem.
This 10 gallon cast iron pot I am using is my gfs great grandmothers. Hasnt been used in 30 years, was filled with grease from,back then. We cleaned and scrubbed, and realized to sanitize it all the way, we need to boil water in it. I know, I have heard it strips layors of flavor away.

Problem is, I have the propane all the way up, and after a hour of trying to boil the water, i can't get a roiling boil. Just one side sorta starts boiling and the other side not so much.
What am I doing wrong?

clogged burner? or regulator? the fire coming out of the burner should be roaring loud if it's open all the way. something is restricting gas flow.

It roared when I opened (scared the shite out of me), and is also used for crawfish boils regularly. Maybe its just not a good enough stand for cast iron?


Will check to see if clogged when everything cools down though.

so, you're using a jet burner on a jambalaya pot? Never tried it but, i guess it would work.

ETA: does it look like this?

or this?

Yes. None of this is mine. Borrowing everything, so beggers can't be choosers.


And it an old version of the second one. Guess thats my problem?
