re: Knife Sharpener Refommendations
Posted by TXT on 8/18/20 at 12:37 pm
The 1520 model offers both 15 and 20 deg edges for all kinds of knives. I bought one on ebay and it does a good job on kitchen knives. Might not do as well on thicker bladed outdoor style knives...

+1 Brisket, even the flat cut makes a superior pot roast. Much more flavor than the the typical top or bottom round and also better than the shoulder chuck cut.

re: What is so special about Franklin's BBQ and why isn't it replicated?
Posted by TXT on 7/21/20 at 12:43 pm
Louie Mueller's brisket is generally good but inconsistent. I have been there for lunch about 25 times since 2007 and occasionally it is top notch, falling apart tender and tasty. Most of the time not quite so good. I suspect inconsistent meat quality is the reason.
Also, only once have I seen ...
re: Masterbuilt electric smoker tripping GFCI outlet
Posted by TXT on 7/5/20 at 1:39 pm
Sounds like the element internal resistance wire is expanding and touching the metallic sheath( ground) as it heats up. This causes a GFCI trip. This doesn't happen until you energize the element after setting temp and time. A new heater element should fix it....

Not BR, but this site's tamales are said to be close to those from Muffalettas in BR back in the day. I have not tried them.

There is nothing better than All-Clad. Some people tout some brands of European cookware as superior in some way, but it is BS, IMHO. You cannot wear out a piece of All-Clad and it has a lifetime warranty. I have purchased some pieces here:https://www.cookwarenmore.com/all-clad-irregulars/

re: Cast Iron Seasoning Help
Posted by TXT on 4/24/20 at 12:33 pm
Old seasoning can be removed easily with Easy-Off heavy duty oven cleaner( aerosol). Warm the pot a little on the stove, not hot! Spray on a heavy coat and let it work several hours. Work on it with a stainless steel pot scrubber. Repeat if needed. Two coats should remove most seasoning.

re: Cast Iron Seasoning Help

One of the premium cast-iron cookware makers ( don't remember which one) made a bunch of pots with a highly polished interiors. They got complaints that the pots would not season properly. Investigations showed that seasoning would peel off because there was no "tooth" for the polymerized oil film...

Frozen Grands "southern style" give a better oven rise if you bring them up to room temp in the microwave before baking. Baking in a close fitting pan will also help.

re: Taking care of a nice wooden cutting board
Posted by TXT on 2/23/20 at 1:43 pm
Clean and oil. Hang it on the kitchen wall for decoration.
Get yourself a nice polyethylene board with non-skid bottom and you will not have to baby it. It is dishwasher safe and does not absorb any food juice. Also easier on your knife edges than wood which contains silica( abrasive).

re: Coffee Maker Recommendations

The coffee snobs will snort in derision, but for a single cup maker, the Black and Decker DCM18S is all you need. Mine delivers an 8oz, 155 deg. cup in under 5 min. Easy clean, no strain, no pain. I use #1 paper filters to ease the dump, but they are not necessary. Dirt cheap on Amazon.

Induction cooktop users, stop the slip and slide!
Posted by TXT on 12/9/19 at 12:47 pm
A slick bottom pot on a glass top is a slippery situation as when stirring a roux. I found these: https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Concepts-pack-Original-Accessory/dp/B00P86WO1O
Simply stick the suction cups down on the glass with the piggy feet against the pot sides. 3 will work, 4 is better.
