I just cooked a 3 1/2 pound corned beef!

Excited for dinner tonight. Going to do cabbage, brussels sprouts and some starch along with Guinness Beer.

Tonight there will be gas, much much gas!

Broke out the new Baking Steel griddle for some ultra smash burgers. The crust on these bad boys smokes Steak & Shake.

Your pepper game is strong, friend. You're in Indiana? I didn't know that kind of stuff was available up there.

That looks amazeballs.

Literally had to use a wallpaper scraper to get it off the steel! (It was clean, new actually.) Tried with a stiff spatula, just tore up the other patties.

So I looked up your baking steel. That's a Chunk of 3/8" cast iron? Or is it steel? Jesus. That is a big piece of metal.

So did you use this on the stove and just get it blazing hot or what?

Doing something nice tomorrow

Stopped by the library like I occasionally do the other day to see if they had any good books on the giveaway rack, and was in luck

Picked up 'To the Heart of Spain - Food and Wine Adventures Beyond the Pyrenees' and am going to try my hand at pollo al ajilo (chicken with garlic)

One whole chicken in 8 pieces
Half cup olive oil
15 cloves of garlic peeled
Salt
Black pepper
Thyme
Oregano
Dry white wine
Chicken stock

The garlic is left whole and lightly pan roasted, brown your chicken then add the other ingredients for a 30 minute simmer... sounds awesome with the whole cloves of garlic in there, gonna serve it over rice

Gonna try pimientos rellenos de txangurro (crab stuffed red peppers) soon, but need to find some fish stock

Steel. It's about 13 pounds, and yep. Preheat on the power burner for about 10 minutes. This thing gets damn hot, but the big thing is it transfers the heat faster than cast iron. I got one of the refurbished or seconds for half the cost. Can't tell what didn't pass inspection on this.

I want to try searing a sous vide steak on it soon.

Very cool! :-)

I didn't know those were around. I don't think my electric will do it justice though :-).

So the website talked about it coming preseasoned. Do you treat it like cast iron?

Thanks for sharing.

you mean the one in your oven?

Amazeballs?

Yes. Like carbon steel.

Smaller and with a grease channel, but similar.

Was it not seasoned? did you brush it with oil before putting lean meat on it?
