20 minutes without burning is not a record for me but it’s close! And I am doing it on my sear grill attached to my pellet grill!
Starting the roux now.

Mmmm, Travis, gumbo sounds really good right about now! Send me a quart, would you?
Looks great!! My wife has been on a biscotti making kick lately too.My first attempt at Biscotti turned out great. Chocolate Walnut recipe from my favorite Greek site, Dimitra’s Dishes.

Slicers are "feast or famine." Either put out very big dollars or settle. I've not yet seen a competent slicer for home use; the motors are weak. Mine was $200 and it did pay for itself, I'll say that much, but I wouldn't recommend mine.Do any of you folks have meat slicers you recommend?
Trying to create a deli style roast beast with an eye of round. Super lean. Dry rub for only a couple of hours, then on to the smoker. Will chill and slice once done. Do any of you folks have meat slicers you recommend? I will be doing this manually, but may want a decent slicer.
I agree. I'm good with a knife and maybe even better with sharpening one, but at some point, a real slicer is needed. Especially with shaving meat.You can slice thin with a very sharp knife, and patience. I've done it with bacon. But no matter how careful, it wasn't the thin slices I was looking for.
I think I've heard of that one on Webstaurant.com. I really need to do get one that slides into the oven.look into the thermo works chef alarm

If you have a LOT of space in the kitchen, I'd recommend a used, industrial slicer.
There's too much focus on profit by the manufacturers and not enough demand for a proper home slicer.
So I cooked this cheap piece of beef so I could chill it then slice it really thin fo sandwiches. But I sharpened all my knives yesterday, including sharpening my big slicer for the first time. So when the meat came off I had to slice some of it while hot just to taste it. The freshly sharpened slicer made wonderfully thin slices even with hot meat. And the eye of round was just amazing even with the simple rub. Just great.
A chuck roast in the sous vide for 36 hours at 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Seasoned with salt and pepper only. Removed, patted dry and seared for one minute on each side. This was amazing!!!
Much appreciated. I had not looked at that one before now. It looks like a good compromise to me. I have a very old, very small, and very cheap one that my parents had and it is just crap. I did pretty well with my freshly sharpened slicer knife, but would really prefer the consistency of an electric slicer. May give this one a try. The idea and savings of roasting beast, slicing it all up, vac bagging it into portions, and freezing to always have sandwich meat on hand is very appealing given current food price trends.Travis, this is the slicer we have now:

We had one of those little cheapie folding guys for a long time and it did an "OK" job but had a small slicing blade and could be cantankerous with some things.
Then we bought a big heavy-azzed thing from LEM which sliced well but it was hard to get into and out of the cupboard when we wanted to use it, was too big to leave on the counter, and was a major PITA to clean!
Then ensued much reading of reviews online and we finally decided to give this Ostba a go. For us, it's the "Goldilocks" of slicers. Not too heavy, but heavy enough to stay put; suction feet to keep it steady; pretty easy to clean; does a good job slicing even really thin slices! We do tend to freeze whatever we're gonna slice for about 30 minutes or so just to firm it up for clean cuts but even when I don't bother, it does a good job.
We tended to NOT use the big LEM one much because unless you were slicing up a LOT of meat, the juice just was not worth the squeeze to get the thing out and clean it up afterwards. We tend to get this one out fairly often even if we just want to slice up a pound of something.
It wouldn't work for everyone I'm sure but after having the bad and the ugly, the "good enough" works for us and it's not that expensive either!
Pretty much a Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise household here. No idea why.So a few of us were discussing mayo/different mayos. I bought Kraft for the first time in forever and it's now my favorite. It's very white, almost unnaturally so.

Cool. My sister in-law brought me some Mango Cart over Thanksgiving when we met them halfway between here and Gulfport MS in LA. I had to go check the can I have in the fridge to see if it was non-alcoholic! It was not. What kind of squash is in the flautas and how were they?Squash flautas
