How much a pound is Costco's ground beef? Just curious.

It's all about the fat and the super market meat is tasteless.

At least change brands.

Fluffy pancakes.... Many good recipes posted. I like to separate the egg and beat the white to soft peaks and fold into the batter. As a kid, I'd make really thin Bisquick pancakes, saturated in butter and black raspberry preserves. Then roll them like an enchilada.

I gave up.... The idea sounds good and if you can buy really good beef, well, it might be worth while. Point is, you need good beef. We have been using a butcher that has been in Dallas for over 50 years. They sell only prime beef. We are paying $8.95 @ lb. for what they call 85/15 ground beef...

Funny tasting chicken.. First thing I'd do is buy from a reputable, local butcher.

I'm thinking this is the problem, hence the green taste.

I covered them the last ten minutes to keep the moisture in.

This has happened for the third time in about six months. For mashed potatoes, I dice a russet potato and boil for about 20 minutes, or until tender. NOT. 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50? Are you kidding me? The potato will not get tender. I try to whip it, as usual, but it is grainy and tastes a...

I'm way late to this party as this is my first post in about one year. (Got busy) Anyway, I have used the indirect method on my Weber to set the smoked flavor on the ribs. Usually baby back ribs. After about an hour, I wrap them in foil and finish them in a 250 oven. I use only salt and pepper...

I know, Andy, but when the fat hits the hot charcoal or grate, great things happen. I don't even soak wood any more. I just drop it in the center of the hot coals about ten minutes after I set the chicken on and cover. To each his own. His might tase better, I dunno.

I was killin' time and saw your thread. Could you explain the need to grill over foil. Some of the best chicken I've ever eaten was indirect cooking on the Weber.

Cover the pinto beans with water and bring to a boil. Drain and cover with fresh, cold water. Add salt pork to the beans and bring them to a boil, again. Then cook the beans on a low heat 'till tender. Check the water level frenquently. They should be done in about two hours. I then season to...

The red peppers are sweeter than the green.

I just kept an eye on it through the oven window and was judging it by the color. I never opened the oven door. I think you're right about the time. It takes an hour for a one or two pound meat loaf. This cake is about the same.
