Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[JDelage]

@mclaincausey:

NP @Soleamp and this was my first try at the pressure cooker variant–the original that I have based past successes on is here: https://www.seriouseats.com/real-texas-chili-con-carne

Thank you for posting that. I made it last Sunday; it was delicious.

Amazing @JDelage ! Glad you enjoyed it. I am a big fan of Kenji Lopez-Alt. I do prefer the non-pressure-cooker version of the chili con carne–a great use for an enameled crockpot.

His

is also really great. I like to introduce 1:5 butter into the grind and to incorporate yellow mustard into the patties, and I use grilled onions, more yellow mustard, and dill pickles as my toppings. I do mine on a cast iron griddle, but only because I don't have a stainless griddle yet. I really cherish the Maillard reaction and this gets you all those crispy browned bits, while not turning the patties into hockey pucks.

@mclaincausey -  I'm a big fan of his too, and he actually recently moved just a couple blocks from us. I have used his sous-vide recommendations for a few years (even though he uses an Anova and I a Joule).

I'll have to check that burger recipe. It looks scrumptious.

What a shit way to end a meal …....

[mclaincausey]

Sometimes you just have to hold your nose and scarf it down…

But seriously, some talented stuff always on the thread.

I hope you share your experience with the smashed burger here @JDelage ! I don't have an immersion circulator yet, but the Joule looks good to me and IIRC has higher power.

We made Sukiyaki today with our japanese friends… it’s a kind of stew cooked in heavy iron pan in the middle of the table

So many of the best moments in life are spent in the kitchen with friends. You have some impressive skills and interests @Chap and I so admire your high end cuisine style.

Thanks @jordanscollected and yes you are absolutely right… cooking together with friends, sharing a meal, a drink or two that‘s really one of the best things in life.

The carcase of a 17lb turkey being converted into stock…...

Leftover turkey only gets better 

[Giles]

And we have a shit load of left-overs…...

[dinobarnesberlin]

Makes the house smell good all December long 

[Giles]

This is when I know I have made a decent stock…...

[JDelage]

Poultry bone stock is really the lowest hanging, biggest fruit in home cooking. Freeze all your rotisserie chicken bones & scraps. When you have accumulated 2-3, simmer them low over 6+ hrs, filter the result, et voila, liquid gold.
