Food Thread: Subverting The Dominant Roasting Paradigm, One Microwaved Turkey At A Time
There is so much disinformation about food safety that sometimes people lose sight of the fact that lots of people have studied it for a very long time. One of my pet peeves is the constant drumbeat that declares ridiculous target temperatures for cooked food. For instance, The USDA dropped its recommended minimum for pork from an astoundingly awful 160 degrees to a still-overcooked 145 degrees. They are obviously assuming that American pork is riddled with trichinosis, but it really isn't. Sure, if you buy a pig from a local farmer who feeds table scraps to his pigs and lets them do what pigs do (be cannibalistic), then assuming trichinosis is reasonable. But commercial pork? Nope...it's pretty damned safe. Oh...that 145 degrees? They want you to cook your steak to that temperature. What's the term for more than well-done? Lets get the food safety science right at Thanksgiving
It is a well-accepted fact that 100 percent of poultry products are contaminated with salmonella. You read right, 100 percent of the Thanksgiving turkeys carry salmonella. It is only the cooking to proper temperatures and the avoidance of cross contamination that stands between health and sickness.
Not quite, FSIS actually does a great job in reporting contamination levels of Salmonella in poultry, and shows that in turkey contamination is much lower (like only 1.7% positive in turkey). And campy is around the same.
I'm all for talking about food safety and risk reduction and using the holidays as a hook - but lets get the numbers right, avoid the fake news, and give people real risk information.
Fermented foods are great! Yeah....it's not just beer and wine and booze; there are hundreds of other delicious things one can make using the power of yeast and bacteria. Here's a company [Hat Tip: redc1c4] that makes a nicely designed top for Mason jars in which you are making pickles or kimchi or whatever floats your boat. Obviously this can be done in a bunch of different ways, and the company itself is a bit too smug and hipsterish and touchy-feely for my taste, but the product is undeniably well designed. How many of you do this stuff at home? I have made pickles, and a long time ago knew someone whose mother made the best kimchi in the world, but I almost always buy my fermented stuff (except for sourdough!).
She wanted to serve her guests mushroom-smothered steak, but she had no mushrooms and no time to buy them.[Hat Tip: Blake]
Her husband suggested, "Why don't you go pick some of the mushrooms that are growing wild down by the stream?
"No, some wild mushrooms are poisonous."
"Well, I see squirrels eating them and they're OK."
So she picked a bunch and washed, sliced and sauted them for her dinner.
Then she went out on the back porch and gave Spot, their dog, a double handful.
Spot ate every bite.
All morning long, she watched the dog.
The wild mushrooms hadn't affected him after a few hours, so she decided to use them.
The meal was a great success.
After everyone had finished, her daughter came in and whispered in her ear,
"Mum, Spot is dead."
Trying to keep her head about her, she left the room as quickly as possible, called the doctor and told him what had happened.
The doctor said, "That's bad, but I think we can take care of it. I'll call for an ambulance and I'll be there as quickly as I can. We'll give everyone enemas and we'll pump out their stomachs and everything will be fine. Just keep them calm."
Before long they started to hear the sirens as the ambulance tore down the road. The Paramedics and the doctor had their suitcases, syringes, and a stomach pump. One by one, they took each person into the bathroom, gave them an enema, and pumped out their stomach.
Well after midnight, after the last one was done the doctor came out and said, "Everything will be okay now," and with that he left.
The hosts and the guests were all weak and knackered sitting around the living room when the daughter came in and said to her mum..... "I can't believe that guy!"
"What guy?"
"You know, that bastard who ran over Spot; He never even slowed down."

Anymore, when I stuff a turkey, I put in onions, garlic and maybe a bit of fresh rosemary. Helps keep things moist.
Did one on a charcoal grill a few years ago and it was incredible. Bit of work keeping the grill going, but did that turkey have some flavor.

Right now I'm zeroing in on Cajun-style fried chicken and a better-than-acceptable biscuit. Also, I've discovered a love of turnip greens doused with Texas Pete pepper juice. The ones made with ham hocks at Cracker Barrel are the best I've found so far.

From roughly the 1850s, via the Waldorf Astoria cocktail book from 1935-
The Emerson
2 oz Old Tom Gin*
1 oz Sweet red Vermouth**
.5 oz fresh lime juice
.1 oz Maraschino liqueur
Shake with ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Drink!
This one is really nice. Perfectly balanced as these classic cocktails tend to be.
* I used Hammer and Son Old English Gin
* I used Contratto Vermouth Rosa
But use what you wish/like.

The 165 F number is premised on the idea that the food cooks for basically no time at all. That temp is sufficient to incinerate bacteria--and most of the flavor--almost instantly.

We thought about finishing it in our tiny microwave but it was too big to fit so I hacked it in two. But the thing just wasn't powerful enough. So we had a hacked up, mostly raw turkey and no way to cook it. It was not a pretty sight. We ate out that year for Thanksgiving.
Our Christmas present from Mrs. JTB's parents a few weeks later was one of the larger Nesco cookers. We've used that for the turkey for the last 30-plus years. It works.

Been making a big ass pot of turkey broth today. Roasted 4 ginormous turkey wings with onions, carrots, S/P. Drizzled with olive oil and some butter. Roasted for about 1 1/2 hours+ @ 400. Got them nice and golden. Then moved everything to a big stock pot...added fresh thyme, sage, more S/P and enough water to cover. Deglazed the pan they were roasted in to get the good brown bits and have been simmering it for a while.
Smells good in here.

You are all correct. Attempting to cover up the "Satan's flatulence" smell and taste of Brussels Sprouts with bacon would simply be a waste of good bacon.

If you are close to Costco or Sam's clubs, they have a very large bottle of pure vanilla that is about 16 bucks, and it's pretty good. One of those lasts me about 3 months. (We love and respect vanilla in our household.)
Trader Joe's has bourbon vanilla that is very good, and is about 6-8 bucks for 8 ounces. I have been happy with the baked goods I have made with that.
If you want to splurge, get Nielsen Massey. High end grocery stores should carry it, or you can order from Williams Sonoma or King Arthur Flour. It's expensive, but is absolutely divine. This is my stocking request every year. Because vanilla.

Only if it was your devilish intention to possibly kill of some people in your home or the firefighters who came to put out the fire.
I think the devil is not so interested in home cooking with non nefarious purposes. The Bible says Satan comes to "kill, steal and destroy" but it didn't mean simply Thanksgiving stupidity.

Your professors probably leaned to the theoretical, and as one of the preeminent philosophers of the 20th Century, Peter Lawrence Berra observed, "The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is none, but in practice, there is."
Y'all come on over to Texas for Thanksgiving, and you'll have your pick of at least 20 or 30 intense fires resulting from attempts to deep-fry a turkey.

*(There was one year when Mommy had just had a surgery and I got to cook everything. I thought it was great, she'd just be in the bedroom and I'd call out when dinner was served. Instead she ensconced herself in a comfy chair in the corner of the kitchen and called out criticisms of every move I made. Then complimented me when everything came out perfect. Am I oversharing?)

Puser's main operation is in Tortola where they have a nice little pub that unsurprisingly makes the best Painkiller. They purchased Marina Cay not to long ago which is a personal favorite and some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean but sadly I think it could destroyed in the hurricane.

We make our own vanilla, a few beans split down center and a small

for years. Just replenished a few beans and vodka after maybe 10 years.
Hmmmm. I don't know about flavored vodka, although I do have some Madagascar vanilla beans I got from Penzey's before I realized the boss, who inherited the business, is a leftist a***ole.

I'll strain everything from the stockpot, make a roux then start adding the stock I made and season it as I go. (Can be frozen for up to 3 months.)
I will still make gravy from the turkey drippings and then add the pre-made gravy to it.

That's too funny. Our kitten Bleu also eats out of our dogs bowl. She can usually only get a few pieces down before the dog inhales the rest. And I was worried about the dog hurting the kitten over food... the kitten will just sit in the dog bowl and the dog will try to eat around her.

If you do a slow cook method for turkey how long do you cook it and at what temperature?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 18, 2018 04:18 PM
I'm a believer in fast cook based on weight of bird, then set oven to a 'keep warm' temperature for hours on end. The entire house smells wonderful and guests dig in with gusto.
The only warnings are the turkey must be kept hydrated with water and white wine to keep it from drying out. Since I cook small it's usually a seven pound bird which fits inside a Dutch oven easily.
Like Bander, no stuffing inside the bird. Messes with even cooking.

Well, to be honest there is a huge difference between a class A motorhome and the various classes of towables. We have had both and our current class A is 15 plus years old so we are the "trailer trash" of the motorhome world. It is a different lifestyle and not for everyone. The upper end class A's are a whole different world...one I've only seen and heard about. When you drive around million dollar motorhomes you aren't generally staying in walmart parking lots.

We have a 2003 Tiffin Phaeton that we bought in 2010. It is 35'. We switched to a class A from a towable because of the kids. They have a lot more freedom and you aren't constantly looking for a bathroom. Plus with a 100 gallon tank you can drive all day without tanking up but when you do it can be a sticker shock.

No recipe. I know about how much flour I want to use, and I just dump the starter into about half of it, along with some salt. Then I mix and knead and add more flour and stop and let it rest and repeat until I like the texture. Then I let it rest, covered, for about three hours and then try not to burn the shit out of myself when I transfer it to the hot dutch oven!
I'll poke around and see if I can find a good recipe, but the ones I have used are pretty much guidelines and not hard and fast.
Dough is a bitch.

My late husband was the cook. And Thanksgiving was his holiday. The first Thanksgiving after his death, my friend invited me to her house for Thanksgiving. She had a lot of people over.
She started the turkey early and checked on it around noon. Then she discovered her mom had accidently turned the oven off when she checked it that morning. One of the guests said "we're going to need more wine." I went into town with them and it was a good choice. My friend cut up the turkey and tried to cook it in the microwave. She was not very successful. We did have a few things to eat and we had wine. I would not recommend cooking a turkey in the microwave.

that much peanut oil, if you're only going to use it for a single bird, is more of a sticker shock...
measure how much oil you are going to need a day or 3 ahead, by putting the bird, on it's stand, in the pot and measuring how much water it takes to cover it.
on cooking day, put measured amount of oil in the cooker, located OUTSIDE, on level ground, away from anything flammable, and with no dogs, children, drunks, etc, to run into it or knock it over.
heat oil to cooking temp, using thermometer. shut off flame when you reach it.
only *then* do you (very) slowly lower the bird into the oil, having used paper towels, etc, to remove as much surface moisture as you can... it's still going to his and spit, but you do NOT want to put a wet bird into the oil and you also do NOT want to lower it in all at once.
when submerged, re-light the flame, and cook as directed.
when the bird is done, turn off the flame, THEN remove the bird. if you're cooking another one, this is the time to immerse it, then, if necessary, add oil BEFORE relighting the flame.
other wise, let the oil cool, and drain into storage containers, straining it in the process.

If there's no oil, it's not a fryer. Full stop. Frying is defined as cooking food in hot oil or grease. Sometimes just thin film in fry pan, sometimes by immersing it.
What you have is just a big toaster oven. It might even cook good turkey, but the critter is being roasted, not fried.

What you have is just a big toaster oven. It might even cook good turkey, but the critter is being roasted, not fried.

If there's no oil, it's not a fryer.
Thank you for pointing out of Life's Truisms.
That's like UCF proclaiming their 2017 football team to be National Champions simply because they were undefeated. That's bullshit and if there's a way to email the NCAA, I'm going to do that tomorrow to ask if there was another college national championship that was not televised that the entire rest of the country somehow missed.
UCF didn't even play My Beloved Crimson Tide, much less defeat them.

The oil to fry a turkey costs about 50 bucks and is kind of difficult to save and reuse.

I understand why UCF feels like they're getting the short shrift, but they need to quit complaining. It doesn't help their case.
Also, College GameDay shows up in Orlando and the best they could do for a guest picker was Maury Povich!?!?

They're not getting shorted. They didn't make the NCAA football playoffs for some very good reasons, chief among them is they didn't play any highly ranked teams to qualify. Tough shit for them. Try harder next time. You lost.
They're acting like children, which is most unbecoming. The NCAA needs to stop this or else everybody will just proclaim themselves NatChamps. I can't understand why they'd allow that.

Had great Brussels sprouts at a Greek restaurant earlier this year. They were halved and sauteed (to within an inch of their life), with bacon, walnuts and pomegranate seeds. The surprise was that they rested on a bed of mashed butternut squash, and the dish was seasoned with Ras el Hanout ("Top of the Shelf"), a middle eastern spice that is a mixture of about a dozen different "sweet" spices, like cinnamon, cardamon, etc. It was one heavenly dish! I still make it when the grocer has fresh Brussels sprouts available.

Pumpkin,
because you have to. Turtle pie, because you want to.
Raspberry/Blackberry, because at least you can call it a fruit, and
daughter will thereby maybe, just maybe, let the grandkids have some.
She's a food nazi.
Posted by: grammie winger at November 18, 2018 04:26 PM (lwiT4)
grammie, I have found that the food nazi parents I have witnessed over the years are generally terrible at, or just hate cooking.
Why they take their failures out on their kids is another story altogether.

It helps to have the turkey at room temp or at least even temperature when starting.

He'd been given a turkey - about 12 pounds or so. He decided to speed up the process of cooking it - so stuck it into the microwave. He finished it off for about an hour in the oven.
It was terrific - moist and juicy. He only blasted it with microwaves for around 15-20 minutes or so. But, as a result of that pre-cooking, he took our making dinner process from over 4 hours to around 1-1/2 hours.
