Initially, I was impressed. Seasoned everything, prepped the turkey, and dropped it in. Immediately, it started sizzling. Smells wonderful!! After 15 minutes, the skin was starting to caramelize. The burner wraps 360 degrees around the bottom of the cooker. You can see it without the cooking cylinder in place: Ring of Fire.
The mesh lid does […]

Brined a 13 lb turkey to go into the Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer from Char Broil. Instructions suggest 10 minutes per lb. But they also suggest going to 180 degrees in the breast. Eight minutes seems like a better rule of thumb to get closer to 160. Frankly, once I’m above 150 in all […]

Took the quart of pan drippings from last night’s turkey and made gravy today. That is the best part of the oil-less turkey fryer. All of the drippings fall down below the burner, so you get a lot of quality product. Had a quart of gelatin to work with this morning.

In addition to food safety, I like using gloves for keeping […]

My grandmother used to make “Chex Mix” by the truck loads when I was a kid. During the holidays, she’d pull out 3-5 ice cream buckets of the stuff. Now you can buy it already made in bags at the store. That still strikes me as odd, kinda like Rice Krispie Treats. You couldn’t buy […]

While smoking up a case of pork butts, I came across a very small butt of only 3-4 lbs. Perfect size for an experiment. Its been nearly eight years since my honeymoon in Jamaica. Haven’t had a good rum drink or jerk pork since. My jerked butt started with some Dizzy Pig Jamaican Fire rub. […]
