Re: Luxury cut ribs

The reason why the meat is sweetest next to the bone is because the bone is a more efficient conductor of heat relative to meat. That, and the meat which is next to the bone has the highest amount of collagen (that's how muscle is bound to bone). The higher temp in the immediate vicinity of the bon...

Re: This smoking stuff really works!

PVC pipes to feed in the smoke would work if your hand enough - Gasser Offset style haha I was thinking about an old teapot because it would already have the lid and spout. Then perhaps just a foil bridge to connect it. Searching for "Gasser Offset" :) So much to learn thats a great idea,...

Luxury cut ribs

I have a hot tip for rib based dishes. It's my one and only contribution to the art of food preparation, and it may well have been done before, but I couldn't find it anywhere so sorry if it isn't original. Simply take out every other bone from your rack of ribs. That's it. Total luxury as there's t...

I like a fast result from an experiment :)

That might take a bit longer.

I tend to go by the name of either 120thingsin20years, or BullwinkleII, so hello to anyone that might have bumped into me elsewhere. I'll have my head down for a ...
