Well the darn bird wasn't thawed out enough Friday night to get it into a brine and our supper was Saturday night. So, maybe I'll try the brine next time. On a side note, I ended up cooking the bird upside down!!!...After about 1hour of resting, I started to cut in and found there to be very...

Oooops!!...O well it shouldn't hurt it though hey?? I'll yank that sucker out of the freezer as soon as I get home!!!...Thanks. Keith

Wow...All these ideas sound great!!!! When you guys say apple juice/cider, which is it? Juice or cider? I have a container in the fridge that says apple cider vinegar, and also have a carton that says apple juice. Sorry if the question sounds strange!! Alix, it's for sure cold enough to have...

I think what I would like to accomplish is to have nice (mild) flavor (I'm not sure ginger would be something everyone would appreciate?) but most importantly is a juicy bird when I'm done. I have an electronic probe that I will use so I don't overcook it. My mother (and grandmother) has...

Thanks for all the replies! If you don't mind, I'll ask a couple more questions. I will give AB's recipe a try and do some stuffing on the side. Now, can someone tell me where I might find candied ginger and allspice berries? I have used "normal" ginger on occasion, and have also used...

Well, this weekend is Thanksgiving Day (Monday the 9th) which means turkey! We have always had the standard turkey with stuffing inside. However, not long ago I had seen an episode of Good Eats with Alton Brown and he was talking about the stuffing drying out the turkey. I have the recipe from...

ouyangl, does your market basket have a butcher? If so, I'm sure if you ask they would provide you with a flank. If not, most butcher stores will have. Can I ask what it is you’re looking to create with it? Keith

Can I just suggest this? If you are going to go to a store and have someone take the time to demo different knives for you. It’s my opinion that you could reward them by purchasing the product at that store. Now, I'm all in favor of saving some cash, especially when the price difference is huge...

Thanks Tony I was wondering about that. There is a small shop I know of in town here that may have it. Thanks for the heads up Dan. And thanks to everyone for this info, I've wanted a better edge on my Henkle's for a while now, but I wanted to do it myself. I've been using the $20 Henkle...

Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Does anyone know where these can be purchased in Canada? Just looking online and can't seam to find anything other than knifezone dot ca. I'd like to see what others are selling them for. Second, in the description of this system on this web site, it states that...

I am sick I ate so much I ended up having a huge pile of pork. Enough to feed some pretty hungry appetites. There were 7 adults, 2 kids, and my 13month old girl, which by the way loved her daddy's pulled pork!!!! There was enough for most to have seconds and I have a big bag of left overs to...

Well, it's now 5:00pm and its sitting at 172deg. It's been around this temp forever. I may have to pull it off early and just slice it as some of my guests need to eat by 6 or so. Looks good though. Keith

Finally have my internet back. Thanks for all the replies!! I'm going to have to hope this will be enough. I am serving it with cob corn and some roasted potatoes. I do have another question though. I put the butt on at 6:30 this am. I have a grill temp at 220deg and my internal temp of...

I am going to attempt my first Boston butt on Sunday. I just finished rubbing and it's in the fridge getting happy. Now, I'm wondering if a 7.7lb bone in Boston butt will be enough for 6 adults and 2 kids? I'm now thinking not. I may have to head out bright and early to grab another and get it...

Well, actually I don't....YET!....hehe. But I will! I think the crust on mine would have been crunchy if I didn't foil them for the end cooking, which I will try without next time. Being that I had two roasts this time I should have foiled one and not the other to test the...
