Cooking a steak...and brats

[J F]

This whole thread....

It's funny as I'm reading about the big green egg in this thread, I'm hearing an advertisement on the sports talk station I have streaming....is someone trying to tell me something? Think the wife buy the "divine intervention" thing?

A buddy of mine bought one years ago, and we built him a nice table for it, but he hardly has the time to use the thing, maybe 2-3 times a year.

We just bought a small Weber (220 series) and I'm loving it.

Yep, I saw a story about a fellow who nearly died before they found a tiny wire that apparently he ingested in a hamburger, so I clean my grill with the wire brush, but then when I start to use it again, I like to spray the grates with PAM Grilling spray and wipe them with a paper towel.

Wow, good idea. I will have to try this. The meat salting article was also a good read.

I have a weber Genesis silver which I have owned for ten years. I learned to BBQ on my parents weber which I believe is a genesis silver also (looks just like mine) about 15+ years ago. My mother still has it and its running just as strong as when purchased. I also added the rotisserie option which is simply amazing. I recommend every house have a rotisserie.

I think these are well built bbqs but, With that being said, I think a lousy cool can destroy any meal and a great cook can make a masterpiece with just bout anything given to them.

. . .so it's ribeyes and baked potatoes for supper tonight.

I cooked ribeyes last week when my granddaughter was here. I love the ones from the Denton Sam's store. They are at least an inch thick and well-marbled. They come in a 3-pack for around $27, so they are about $9 each, but delicious. I only cook steak like that about twice a year. I really like to buy them the same day I'm cooking them so they never have to be frozen. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to good steaks. I don't want anything but maybe a small bit of salt and pepper on 'em. In my opinion, if I use sauces or flavorings, I might as well be eating hamburger.

I normally season my baby back ribs over night, but this has changed my mind.

I seaon my ribs both ways. A lot of times I don't have time to season mine over night, but I do find that mine actually turn out a little better if I have seasoned them over night.
