    Spicy stir fry/wok recipes wanted

    Wokshop order should come this week and I’m anxious to try out my new wok over a charcoal chimney. Looking for some spicy recipes. TIA!

    Who’s wokking on their BGE?

    Anyone using a CGS spider and a wok? I think I would prefer a wok with a long, upright handle to flip the wok. I don’t see too many woks with a handle like this. Opinions?

    Giveaway: magnetic knife rack

    11”x 2 3/8”. I’m still playing around with making knife racks for myself and friends. This was my prototype for trying different knives and magnet placements, so i figured I would finish it up and give it away. Maple with wenge veneer. All oiled and buttered up. It’s not absolutely...

    Another DIY magnetic knife rack

    ive had some 1/8” wenge lying around, aching to do something with it. Decided to try another knife rack, a small one, to fit on the side of my kitchen cabinet over the sink. Magnets: n52 neodymium rare earth, 1/2” x 1/8” thick from eBay. About $.40 each. I routed 1/2” holes about 1/16” down...

    Brisket flats at Restaurant Depot?

    Anyone ever seen? I’ve only seen the whole packers. I’d call but not many English speakers at the one by me. My local Costco is out and I want to get a pastrami going.

    Can’t smell or taste

    Going on about 3 weeks now. Very little sense of smell or taste. My sinusitis has gotten to the point where I need to get roto rootered. Had the procedure about 20 years ago and it’s so not pleasant. This time I need my deviated septum on both sides corrected along with sucking out all the...

    Monzento jnat

    Big a$$ monzento. If you saw from recent thread, this arrived to me split. I epoxied it to a pvc base, sprayed the sides with enamel, and lapped the top. I'm new to jnats, but it works just fine and is... well... solid as a rock. Leaves a fine scratch pattern for kasumi and seems pretty...

    Broken jnat. Usable?

    Got this giant monzento today in a trade. Arrived split in half. The crack is what you see in the top pic, both halves come apart. I guess I would have to try and flatten the bottom a bit just to make it stable? How would I do that? Was a very fair trade in my favor, so if usable I'm...

    Type of wood for jnat base

    Does it matter? Dave's tutorial said he uses cypress, others use cedar, teak.. does the type of wood matter much if the wood not lacquered?

    My first jnat for kasumi finishing

    Im a total beginner to jnats. I have a bunch of gesshin synthetic stones, atoma 140, and get good results on my various knives, but none are finishing stones for kasumi. Would like something around $100 that would be a decent finisher on kasumi knives. Never used a jnat aside from playing with...

    2nd time at kasumi finish, ehhhh

    Practicing on a free knife that had some rust. Started on gesshin 400, then 2000, then jinzo aoto. Not horrible but I need guidance. I'm trying to push the shinogi up a bit, then go back and hit near the edge to the edge. I feel like I'm rolling near the edge. Also, scratches have to be...

    Painful question. How to overcook part of standing beef rib roast?

    Some of my guests will only eat ruined beef. They require medium to medium well. I'm roasting a 10 pound rack at 500 for 50 minutes then shutting off oven for two hours til med rare. How can I destroy a small part of it? Slice and sear? Stick a small hunk in the convection oven or regular oven?

    Roast identification. What is this? "Bottom chuck."

    Thought I'd ask this in a new thread not in sous vide sub forum. I ordered a big chuck roast and got this. What is a bottom chuck roast? It shouldn't be bottom round, which isn't a part of the chuck. I've never heard of bottom chuck. Intent was to sear, sous vide this for a couple days...

    Sous Vide London broil

    I've read mixed things here on it done via sous vide, but I'm going to try it this weekend. Was too good of a price to pass up. I've got two slabs of beef, each about 1.5 pounds each. Any advice? I was thinking dry rub with s+p, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, little brown sugar...
