Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
Ribs are unreal using the 3-2-1 method. Best i ever had.
Low and slow...
Place ribs bone-side down in charcoal bbq at 225 F and cook for three hours. Remove ribs and wrap tightly in aluminum foil to form an airtight seal. Return to the Q bone-side up and smoke for two hours. Unwrap the ribs and return to the Q bone-side down for one more hour
You mop with whatever sauce you want before the last hour and crank the heat up to about 350 F to set the sauce.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
I take that is supposed to "why". Because a dry rub works for me. Ribs I can eat with my fingers without a mess. I'll often add a few dashes of liquid smoke to the ribs or some smoked paprika. Wrapped tight in foil they braise/confit themselves. 2 1/2 hrs, no fuss no muss. Char some corn in a hot cast iron pan, add diced red pepper and a splash of balsamic, toss in a bowl with a bit of goat cheese.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 5:56 pm Hey Tops, when do you do a dry rub vs braising with a little bit of beer or wine?
My go to is a braise by spicing (salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme), searing on the q, covering in a dish with a 1/2 cup of liquid, oven @ 300 for 90, then 250 for another 90 or until easily coming off the bone. Could broil but have never bothered. No sauce.
I got a fairly sizable piece of goat neck and was wondering if you'd dry rub that. Or does it need to be more fatty?
Goat neck may be a bit lean but you could always add a slab of pork fat for some moisture.
Weirdly a friend claims he has to boil ribs in white vinegar for 2 hours then finish in the oven. Never tried them, not sure if I ever want to.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
I used to boil ribs like your friend and finish them on the bbq, slathered with sauce, when I thought I knew how to cook. Nice fall-off-the-bones finished product, but the boiling takes away all the flavour of the meat and all you really taste is the sauce.
Then I learned how to braise my ribs and began to use it for all sorts of tough cuts, and have been using less and less liquid as I also don't like the messy eating. Hency my question on dry rubs as a natural progression of that.
I have some backfat on hand. Will give it a go. Thanks.

It wasn't until I was in my mid twenties that I was reading one of those silly "How to tell if your children are on drugs" pamphlets that listed "your nutmeg is disappearing from the spice jars" that I found out you could get stoned off it. Did some research, I'm a scientist afterall, to find out has hallucinogenic properties. I focused it with a friend who, shall we say, knows his hallucinogens, to be informed the quantity required made the effort futile. Add to mix projectile vomiting and nutmeg can stay in the kitchen.

With a few slices of back fat it turned into pulled goat. Not bad at all, but I think I can do with almost no back fat. I guess the meat has enough moisture on its own.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 8:03 pmI have some backfat on hand. Will give it a go. Thanks.

Jamie Oliver’s take on a Swedish classic, hasselback potatoes, created at Restaurant Hasselbacken in Stockholm.
The original is peeled though, and only uses butter, salt and pepper.
And bread crumbs, sprinkled on top after the last time you add butter.
But Jamie’s version sounds OK too.

I'm familiar with his history. One of the few celebrity chefs worth watching if you can get by the commentary. His techniques and knowledge of ingredients are spot on. I have the series of River Cafe cookbooks, where he worked for a time, and they are terrific basic high level Italian fare. Most of these twats manage restaurants, few ever work in there kitchens. Those who do deserve credit.
When I was in the kitchen, our chef got a message at 8pm on a Friday night, his wife had just spoken with Rob Feennie at Costco in Richmond. This is when Feenie had his spiffy restaurant in Kits. Our chef, laughed and said, "doesn't he have anywhere better to be, like maybe in his kitchen manning a stove?"

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
My propane grill is a hoopty. I’ve read where a few of you characters have switched to briquette barbecues. How much would it set Hargraves back to get a decent unit? How many briquette do you go through? It’s certainly safer than propane ... is it cost comparable? Should I just get it pigtailed onto the gas line? Either way I’m done with propane. It’s a hassle and unless you go to Abbotsford Costco it’s not cheap and it’s like driving around with a bomb.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
There's a lot of really expensive ones out there now, but really you just need something big enough to hold the food you might one day cook for a group of friends.
I use a mix of wood and charcoal - rarely 'briquettes' unless that's all I can find in a pinch. Get a good, heavy duty cover and it will last you a while.

Re: Topper's Grilling Advice!
So like a Weber Grill and just use your own fuel? I’ve been on the propane train for 20 odd years now. I’m new to this old blue collar cooking.Cornuck wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2020 5:09 pm There's a lot of really expensive ones out there now, but really you just need something big enough to hold the food you might one day cook for a group of friends.
