    Passivation?

    I’ve read in a few threads about passivation of stainless steel. What is this process and why is it necessary? The reason I’m asking is that I have a 20 gallon stainless kettle from 1948 , the ones that hung in the kitchens back when they made real school lunches. Anyways, my pot has a few pits...

    Pickled Eggs, Beer Cheese, and McSorley's Cheddar Plate

    My father had made pickled eggs since I was a kid. Always took them on hunting and fishing trips. Instead of sugar he used a can of red sliced beets and juice for sweetness. I have been making them for my trips for the last 45 years.

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    I have noticed that a pellet smoker gives a nice smoke flavor whereas wood chunks give off a tremendous amount of smoke . We won’t do anything with the carcass so I’m going with my original plan to see how it turns out. Any suggestions for a liquid brine? How much salt ?

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    My plan is to brine and smoke a 19 lb Turkey for Easter . Going to use my Even Embers Komodo style pellet grill. Going to brine for 12 hours and smoke until thigh temperature is 175F. I’m open to any suggestions or advice as I’ve never done a turkey on a smoker. Thanks
