I used 93% Lean Ground Meat... maybe that was my problem.

Hello everyone. I made some hamburgers the other night that tasted the best Ive ever had... so good I didnt even need the fixings :) The short version of what I did: Brough home the meat and seperated it immediately, seasoned it with some steak marinade, liquid smoke and spicy steak...

It was a Mesquite and a Baja Chipotle... I couldnt smell any foul odor... the marinade was too dominate :) I went ahead and cooked it... Im still kicking today so I guess it was the marinade. Just wanted to be sure... thanks everyone!

Hello everyone. I have a question... I had two T-Bone steaks that I marinated for a total of 20 hours in a store-bought marinade in my refrigerator. The meat was completely red and looked very healthy when I bought it (Yesterday). When I took the meat out, it appeared to have slightly browned...

wow... so much info in such a short time... this is why I like this board :) Just as a note... it didnt turn out like I wanted it too... almost no flavor at all. The meat was not as dry, didnt do anything for flavor. Perhaps it didnt soak long enough (1:30 and 45 min... ) At least it came...

That was pretty much my thinking... although it may be too salty, it could be promising for a sauce base at least (again... provided it taste ok). I almost forgot... im also adding a bay leaf... what are you throughts on the herbs used? to much? not a good combo? im new to this as well...

I read someplace online that exposing your body to small amounts of bacteria can actually help you build immunity or a defense against it. So it may be helpful :)

That helps alot... thanks. Good to know too. I dont think I will be trying it at home, I was just curious as to how it was done is all. Thanks again for the info!

Hello all. I have some thoughts as I am reading up on some things about raw eggs. Forgive me if I misspell a few words, but I should come close :) It started with a recipe I saw for a milkshake that contained raw eggs. I became curious and looked up humans consuming raw eggs on the internet...

Excellent link... thank you very much :D Being added to my favs

I just wonder how someone would go about collecting extracts? More so curiousity than actually wanting to do it. For instance, how would someone get vanilla extract from the vanilla beans or how would one get capsicum extract from habanero peppers... those just stick out but you get my...

I have a deep fryer... I use it for lazy days when I just wanna eat something that just isnt healthy :)

oh ok... I know what those are. Ive seen AB use the quite often. Are they really worth it though? I think I'll just stick to a food processor :) Now i have to start pricing some.
