I'm curious, outside of my home state, what are the traditions and habits of men cooking for your area?

Grilling is always a men's arena. But I'm curious what else is done.

Our Mexican brethren have their Cazo De Cobre.



The Cajuns have their paddles.



Our South Carolina brethren have their whole hog setups





What are the tools of your areas?


****You know I wonder, did you actually even read the thread before moving it ****

We make homemade Italian sausage with all the men in our family and get together just about every Sunday to make suga. In my family, the men do a lot of the cooking for big gatherings, but the wives/women do a good bit of the day to day cooking.

suga


I was familiar with cooking large batches of strained sauce but not this, interesting. Any specialty items needed?

lol yeah I should have been more specific, it's just our Sunday sauce, an American bastardization of the Italian word sugo or sauce. Just crushed tomatoes, paste, water, onion, garlic, olive oil, basil, salt, tiny bit of sugar and our homemade meatballs. ABSOLUTELY NO OREGANO.

I enjoy stirring the pot with a fork and cutting stuff up with my 60 year old wood handled Chicago Cutlery butcher knife, when a paring or chef knife might be better.

I have adopted use of the word sauté when I actually mean 'cook in a skillet'. I also drink less bourbon as I cook than I did as a younger man.

If it is important I am better off using a recipe, as I forget stuff if I don't.

Fish Fry and chicken halves grilled on racks over concrete block temporary pits are pretty common in Georgia for groups and fundraisers. Probably the same in LA and other places too.

That a gas stove with regular metal grates?

You know how easy it would be to puncture one of those flimsy assed disposable pans if so?

My grandmother cooked daily as she was a stay at home wife, when my dad retired my mom didn't do a bit of cooking again, my dad lives to cook.
I do 95 % of the cooking in my house, grill, smoker, sous vide, stove, oven, crawfish pot, turkey fryer, I use it all

I don't know why Williams-Sonoma sells this, I don't know why Amex is offering gift card discounts for Williams-Sonoma right now, but you just cost me $429 in points
