F&D Board 2017 Culinary Christmas gifts/wish list

Congrants on the delicious tube steak.

Just a little update,

Buck I shot over thanksgiving went into my beer fridge for what was going to be 17 day dry age run. I took all the drawers and shelves out and sterilized it. I used some plant hooks and 2X4’s to make a rack, and drilled holes in the bone for sections of coat hanger to run through. I looped it a couple of times and put a towel I stole from the sauna at the bottom.

I kept the fridge at the coldest setting, and ran a small fan inside the fridge to keep air circulating around the meat.

The difference is pretty noticeable. Here’s day one vs. day 11. There’s a look at it on the block about to be deboned, and a shot of the roast.

Grinder is in Onatrio this morning. I’m guessing by Wednesday, 1HP of torque and horses is gonna be here to make this meat into mush.






Roast


Hungry kid

Dat stuffer is a game changer baw. Once you use that you'll never go back to using the grinder to stuff!

Balls,

I’ve used the old school lard press to make sausage before. This is the same thing, but stainless instead of cast iron. They’re really easy/efficient.


For what they cost, and how well made it is, you can see why they got 5 Stars.

got a new deep fryer. was on sale at HEB for $20 last week. got knives and new cutting boards last year, so need something better. maybe a wine fridge?

I'm getting an InstantPot. Not sure how I feel about it. Didn't ask for it, but saw that the wife had ordered one on Amazon. Intrigued at being able to make soup fairly quickly though.

I have one. It makes amazing food, but the time factor makes me not use it very often. If worked from home, I'd use it a LOT more. Most things take at least an hour, and with 2 kids, wife and I both working, etc. it's just not conducive to our lifestyle.
