Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[ChaseD]

Picked up a good old Webber Kettle off the Facebook market place last spring along with a Slow N' Sear insert for next to nothing. This dang thing has been the best $50 I've ever spent. I'd love to get something like a Kamado Joe…but I find it hard to believe that it's going to be 40x better.

Today called for a slightly smoked reverse seared Tri Tip.

That reminds me of my old Weber with a Smoke-e-nator, it was insanely capable at multizone cooking @ChaseD and that looks like a nicer insert than what I had.

You can get more set-and-forget setups that may be a little more forgiving (or a lot less forgiving for a cheap stick burner), but you can do great things with a kettle and insert and the gains IMO are mostly incremental.

This is full of great wisdom and I can’t wait to try these techniques and recipes.

Made “healthy” hamburger helper last night. Grew up upper lower class and cheap eats was the name of the game to feed the family. I got a craving for some dirty hamburger helper so I made it with the following:

1sweet onion diced
3 carrots diced
3 cloves garlic minced

Add to hit Dutch oven on stove top and cook with 2tbsp oil for 10-12mins

Add 1lb 93/7 ground beef and cook till brown with salt pepper and herbs of choice

Add 14oz of low sodium beef or veggie stock and bring to boil

Add 8oz banza protein pasta and cook to just over Al dente

Remove from heat, stir in 1/2c nonfat Greek yogurt and 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (4cheese Mexican)

Top with hot sauce if desired and chives

Not my pic bc I don’t take pics of my meals usually but it looked just like this

We make quinoa “fried rice” for teppanyaki style meals. I had some left over and some sausage. Quinoa makes a nice crunchy fond just like rice!

I bought a new frying pan online yesterday. It's a fuck-ton little larger than I expected. Won't even fit in the pan cupboard.

[jordanscollected]

Is that a 14” Giles?

[Giles]

Hmmmm, normally it is P who asks that.......

But, yes.....

[jordanscollected]

I have one that looks oddly similar, but P hasn't asked about it

I have a 15" Lodge cast iron, deep pan and a top for it. It's awesome!

Making fish in parchment with chermoula. First, the chermoula:

Then we assemble: cooked rice (original recipe calls for Israeli couscous), fish, chermoula, and cherry tomatoes.

Made some Bahamian Goat Pepper hot sauce yesterday, then got told off for it being unlabelled. Fixed that:
