Re: I have a problem with hard boiled eggs........
I add the eggs to boiling water and boil for 12 minutes. I have ice water ready and put them in it as soon as the 12 minutes is up. I give them 5 or 10 minutes to cool and then roll them to crack the shells and pull the shells of. This has always worked for me.488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Deep Fryers ---- Do You Save the Oil?
SteveRuff I think in your case you aren't cooking anything that will add animal fat to the mix. I always consider how clean the oil is and whether it has any added fats. I don't know about 10 or 12, but I use mine for several, but I also use it for pan frying in between so I'm always adding some fresh.373Views0likes0CommentsRe: Pulled pork for large group
I rarely do a butt in a crockpot, but they will take them to the magic 190-200 degrees for pulling. I would suggest that rather then trying to use liquid smoke and rub you use a smoky BBQ sauce you like. Go light on it, 1/2 cup probably for 4 or 5 hours, drain and then add another 1/2 cup for the finish. After you pull it you can add more sauce if it's needed. Set on low you can't overcook a 7 or 8# butt. I agree that about 1# raw meat per adult should be about right.538Views0likes0CommentsRe: Deep Fryers ---- Do You Save the Oil?

It's all I use in my chimney as a rule. I tear off an appropriate piece, pour oil in it and set the chimney on top of the lit cardboard.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: Smoked cheese - first efforts
Depending on how much smoke you want, the timing is much quicker than most realize, myself included. #0 minutes of heavy smoke followed by a rest under wrap to allow the oils to redistribute will give=e a good healthy flavor. IMO, cheddar will handle more smoke than swiss.301Views0likes0Comments
