Food Thread: Pork-Crusted Pork...A Match Made In Heaven!

burger56_1.jpg

I haven't had a burger in weeks, and I feel sort of dirty and un-American because of it. One reason is that I have decided to make my own buns using a sort of complicated recipe, but mostly because the weather hasn't cooperated. Every time I think "BURGERS!" God thinks rain. And my next burger is going to be a smash burger made on the grill, because I am just damned tired of cleaning burger grease off the floor and ceiling and backsplash and my shoes and...

Yup...smash burgers with American cheese: individually wrapped slices of course. And maybe a pickle or three, but that's about it.

******

I ordered Berkshire pork rib chops from a mail order joint a few weeks ago, and discovered to my delight that they were excellent quality and reasonably priced. So off to my computer I ran, only to discover that the price had increased by 25% in two weeks. Anyone with a passing relationship with reality (that apparently doesn't include the Fed or our feckless and worthless and evil administration) knows that inflation is coming...and hard. I think most people notice fuel and food inflation first, because those are regular purchases. But there is no reason to assume that they are the only things inflating as a result of a catastrophic and decades-long climate of stupidity and venal short-term thinking in the corridors of power.

What strikes me as indicative of a long inflationary cycle is the conspicuous lack of price decreases among seasonal products. For instance New Jersey is famous for its tomatoes*, and of course as the summer heats up and every farm in the state is pumping out as many as they can grow, the prices have, in the past, come down from the first crop's heady price. But not this year. That suggests to me that farmers and others have internalized a prolonged inflationary spiral and realize that they must get ahead of it or flounder.

*Yes, they are good. But they are not the best in the country, and anyone who suggests that needs to get out more.

Commenter Blake's wife has recently allowed him to use the power tools in the garage. With supervision of course. And judging by his handiwork he should probably stick to woodworking instead of commenting around here, because he...um...well...how does one say this politely?

Let's just say his next project will be to cross the street on his own.

******

Speaking of cutting boards, One of the advantages of plastic boards is that they can be tossed into the dishwasher on the surface-of-the-sun cycle, bleached, cleaned with HCL, and they will probably survive. Wooden boards? Not so much. They definitely require more care, but damn, they are just better!

I just bought a big plastic board at a local restaurant supply house, and while it is easy to clean and it's nice and light, because the surface is new the food slides around on it, and I need a wet towel underneath it so it doesn't slide off the counter and onto the floor.

Wooden cutting boards just behave better, feel better under the knife, and seem to allow better and more precise cutting, no doubt because they are slightly softer than plastic and allow the blade to sink in ever so slightly farther, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Well, why the hell not?

Pork Rind Coated Baconz!

Ingredients
4-6 strips of thick cut bacon
1 3-oz bag of plain pork rinds, finely crushed
1 egg
dash of cream

Instructions
1 - Pre-heat oven to 375F
2 - Line baking pan/cookie sheet with foil
3 - Beat egg and cream
4 - Dip each strip of bacon in egg wash
5 - Dredge through crushed pork rinds
6 - Place on rack in baking pan
7 - Repeat for strips 2 thru 4 or 6
8 - Bake in oven ~30 minutes

The recipe is approximately the same for pork chops, though you get two chops covered per 3-oz bag. Ditto chicken breast (pounded to <1/2" thick): one breast per 3-oz bag.

I tried a slight modification for chicken breast by adding about a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese, also run through the food processor.

Regards,
Long Time Moron Butch

I ran out of both rye and whole wheat flour and was too lazy or forgetful to buy more. So yesterday I was forced to slum and make a sourdough boule out of plain old white flour. I used the same proportions that I have been using for a couple of years, and I found that the dough was much wetter and slacker than the rye/white or rye/whole wheat/white versions.

It's not a problem, because after dozens of tries at making sourdough boules I have become reasonably good at handling the dough, even when it is wetter and stickier than I expect. It's not difficult, it just takes lots and lots of practice, which is okay by me because I get a kick out of doing it.

What? No...of course not. There is no point. Are you new around here?

******

From commenter "Duncanthrax" comes an easy one!
Here's a conundrum for CBD:

Y'all can come to El Rancho del Duncanthrax and enjoy pecan-smoked Armadillo Eggs. You might even get to see an armadillo. But your host is a known Grade B pure maple syrup on French Toast consumer. Which would reign supreme?

(For those going to attempt Armadillo Eggs for the first time, gloves when prepping the jalapeños are NOT optional. Also, do not touch your eyes or mucous membranes until finished, gloves carefully disposed of, and hands washed several times.)


I would happily eat the proffered Armadillo Eggs, and probably ask for thirds. In return I would act as the evening's bartender, making so many Rye Manhattans with maple syrup that my hosts would be quite happy...and out of syrup.
******

basil33.jpg

If the Food ThreadTM doesn't appear next week, rest assured it is because I was consumed by runaway basil plants, not unlike kudzu...

The damned stuff is growing fast. Too fast. It is blocking out my thyme plants and is making noises about taking over the Rosemary in the next pot.

I see Roundup in its future.

Or pesto.

******

Dildo's Public Service Announcement: Do not start to make your own tortilla chips. They are better, in fact they are great, but that way lies madness!

Your own salsa on the other hand....Yes!

Avocados sans thumbprints, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages), carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs, well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

And don't think that you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm watching you...all of you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

9 Brisket $3.99/pound. Packer trimmed. Nothing fancy. No deckle fat trimmed. Not prime. Not Waygu (which was $7.99 a pound back in April. Who buys Waygu beef in small town Texas?). Just plain old packer trimmed brisket. May 2020 it was going for $1.75~$1.99/pound. And this is Texas where all we have is cows and oil!!

Smashburger is (since Steak-n-Shake gave up and went away thanks to CV19) my new favorite burger place here in SoCal, although they apparently have far more locations in other locales.

Basically classic burgers that are pressed very thin; they usually put two patties on every burger.

25 I have tremendous trouble making tasty burgers, so last time I went ahead and did the Lipton Onion soup burger thing. (You also add mayo.)

They were not great, but definitely better. Think next time I'll also make some sunnyside eggs and guac to put on the burger.

And for the ove of all that is holy, do not fry them beyond medium rare.

Buy a burger mold. Then weigh out eight ounces of burger meat, slap it in the mold and gently press it into shape. That will cook in about 8-9 minutes on a medium-hot grill. It will be medium at best, but it won't dry out.

Try not to compress the meat too much, and definitely do not press it down onto the grill. Flip it three times. Once every two minutes.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at August 01, 2021 03:18 PM (Q9lwr)

32 Just an FYI on wooden boards. I know some germ-o-philes who insist on plastic, because not porous.

There was a study proving that bacteria lived - even thrived on plastic regardless of what you did. Wood on the other hand has natural anti-bacterial properties, having none of the issues of the plastic boards. I use them because they're not hell on my knives like plastic - and the plastic is just plain nasty anyway.

34 I've had a lot of luck recently frying beef tenderloin in cast iron. I let the meat rest for about a half hour with truffle dust and salt before I cook. 3 minutes per side. Take out meat, cover. Add red wine, sautéed shiitake mushrooms and some cream and let sizzle hard for a minute or two. Add meat back in, take off heat, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.

Rare. Beautiful and so good.

......

The next couple of times you broke off ground beef for chili or tacos, drain off the grease into a temperature-safe, air-tight vessel. Then pull it out the next time you brown off beef again, and this time plunk a half of a stick of butter into it and let the fat from the second round of browning melt it all together. Return it to the fridge and let it all congeal.

When it is solid, make 1/2" beef tallow/butter discs roughly the circumference of a silver dollar and put them in the freezer.

When it's time to form your burgers, pat them around your beef fat-butter discs and grill over well grayed charcoal as the fat bombs slowly melt inside the exterior will get a nice crisp crust.

Also, and you may think this weird, but I have eaten a lot of pinto beans in my life. La Preferida Pinto Beans are the best pinto beans I've ever eaten. They look tiny, about the size of navy beans, but come back to regular size when you soak them. I add salt and bacon to them, that's it. They are really good. Their canned refritos are good too. I'm planning to stock up on them.

61 CBD. If you're around could you post your hamburger bun recipe.
Since our recent move from OH to MT I haven't been able to find good hamburger/hot dog buns. I actually ordered some from Amazon and I'm awaiting their arrival. Before anyone objects, the buns were free so I didn't feel bad about ordering them from the Bezos. I prefer brioche buns and I haven't found any decent ones here. The Aldi brand was my go to.

62 I periodically get lamb sirloins at the grocery store. They were never cheap, but 3 that are between 3 and 5oz each in a package are pushing $20. That's insane.

As for beef... we still have about 100lbs of it from the half calf we bought over a year ago. Haven't bought beef except for a tri-tip (3x) and some short ribs (2x) since March of 2020.

68 I just bought a big plastic board at a local restaurant supply house, and while it is easy to clean and it's nice and light, because the surface is new the food slides around on it, and I need a wet towel underneath it so it doesn't slide off the counter and onto the floor.

Slip one or two silicone trivets under the board. I use them with cutting boards, metal bowls, and the salad spinner. Keeps them from slipping off the granite counters.

They had a bowl system, where the bowl was a ground out chunk of granit (i think) that was baked and retained it's heat for well over thirty minutes. In that bowl, i was served spicy chicken, rice, onions, cucumber, broccoli, and a egg. OMG, that was good. The bowl would lightly burn the rice into a crust that i was putting a chunk of broccoli and a bite of meat on. Very yummy.

106 I had a steak that didn't get cooked last weekend, cuz dad had turned off the grill before sis brought it out. So last night I grilled it. Unfortunately is was more of a C.J than a good C.G. job. This was so heavily marbled that I think it would have been better cooked at a lower temp. Lots of fat flaming was happening. But for that temp I cooked it too long. It was still decent eating, that is the nice thing about fatty steak, it will stand up to over cooking it, but still a bit of a crime against decent meat. This was out of a 1/4 of an obese heifer I bought last year. They had to butcher her before she went down and couldn't get up; and had just butchered a steer and didn't have freezer space for another whole beef. So I have not been seeing the beef prices this year, but I have noticed bacon is up and pork is way up over last year's sale prices.

Posted by: Jewells45 at August 01, 2021 03:52 PM (nxdel)

112 If you are working with wet/slack dough you may need different handling.

I tend to scrape the dough from the mixer to a kneading area with lots of flour (or just drop it in the flour bin if you live alone) and coat it with flour, then basically hold it with one hand and then roll one side under , and keep doing this with alternating hands until the top starts tearing

Then it is stretched as far as it will go for the moment and needs to rest. Let it rest until it is double in size so you can either do it again or knead out and put in the pan to raise -- and you know that to get a good even rise the dough needs to start out at about 80 and stay there for the whole rising and proofing until you bake?

Thanks bluebell! Yes, he's had the procedure where they see if your gallbladder is functioning well. the GI guy said it wasn't and wanted him to go see the GI surgeon. Surgeon said, "Meh...I'm not convinced it needs to come out. Just watch your diet and lets see how things go." First time I've ever heard of a surgeon not wanting to cut. He already can't eat beef and pork and now he doesn't want to eat chicken. Fish! I'm left with effing fish every night. FML.

It sat out from 7 until I put it in the oven at noon. I bake in a dutch oven, which is heated at 500 degrees, then cook it covered about twenty minutes. Then I drop the temp to 450 and uncover it.

I use a product called, "Walrus Oil" and, there is also a hard paste wax by the same company. Generally, when I make cutting boards, after final sanding, and cleaning, I do three coats of the Walrus Oil then put on a coat of the paste wax.

160 Infidel, this is a really easy and great-tasting pork loin recipe, and it never fails. Just garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper, and I always mix in a little olive oil to make it easier to spread on the pork.

164 Or better yet - use 1 slice of cheddar and one slice of pepper jack. Fresh sliced is best. If not, something real like Sargeno.

Yep. That seems to make the best cheeseburger.
1 slice cheddar or American + 1 slice pepper jack.

I think that's the perfect cheese for a burger if you are looking for blue cheese flavor. There is a famous (now closed) restaurant in NYC run by Mario Batali that had a blue cheese burger on the menu. The cheese was so sharp that it overwhelmed the burger.

The usual problem with "this veggie has a great naatural chemical in it!" is that bioavailability of the good stuff in veggies is usually very low, while the toxins in them are usually more easily absorbed

Which makes sense because plants, like any organism, wants to keep itself alive and protects itself from untimely death with defenses

The bowl would lightly burn the rice into a crust that i was putting a chunk of broccoli and a bite of meat on. Very yummy.

Do I need to sit you down and talk of the care and feeding of overage women.

Your premise is incorrect. Women are only overage if you want kids, and it is too late for them.

For all other purposes, a woman's age add experience, grace, and man-management skills. Note the Oxford comma.

264 Martini farmer, I worked as an assistant chef in a cooking school for a while. No pay, but through assisting, I could take any class I wanted to for free. If you sign up for a class in something you want to master, a cooking class is always worth it. Why? Because you get to watch other people making mistakes and the chef correcting them. Any other way you watch a chef, he/she makes it perfectly. You don't learn nearly as quickly. Also, there are things pros don't waste time on and amateurs do. And there are things pros spend precious time on that amateurs are lazy about.

Strongly recommend.

Plus the my pillow thing, this was one of those super-stores with clothing and crap in addition to actual food. If I want to eat soy or whatever its not going to be in the from of some fake meat product.

393 Unbelievable. My mom is in a rehab hospital after being transferred there from the ER for a continuing UTI on Tuesday. Yesterday she presented with nausea and running a fever. She also has a cough though it's a wet cough. She has had the J&J vax in March. I asked the nurse if they've tested her for Covid and she said they haven't and will have to get with doctor who is aware of her latest symptoms. They test every one and their dog but they are in no rush to test my mom , who likely was in close proximity to Covid people when she was in the ER lobby for 4 hours.

Posted by: Just a side note at August 01, 2021 05:52 PM (2DOZq)

394 qdpsteve - By the 80% burger; it's cheaper. Also, after removing the burger from the grill and letting it set (you are doing that, aren't you?), place a pat of butter on it to melt.

You can do the same with a steak; increase butter as you see fit.
