LME added at flame out, all my brews have specialty grains steeped, hop utilization always good, no twang, always great beer results. Prefer More Beer's foil sealed bags of LME. Usually warm the bags in hot water to get more wort into kettle, then roll them like a toothpaste tube :)YRMV.
 
DME for longer shelf life, but fresh LME can be excellent. Use a 4:5 ratio of DME to LME for substitutions, e.g., 1 lb DME = 1.25 lb LME, 1 lb LME = .8 lb DME.
