Geez. I leave for a few days and posts are getting derailed. Cmon guys!!!

I was having a bad Christmas gift wise but just opened a Rotisserie from in laws and a instant read meat thermometer. I'm pretty geared up to add the rotisserie to my bag of tricks.

Mrs LL got me some socks?  I think that's one notch below lump of coal.

oops back to cholesterol. :)

Rotisserie vs double decker smoked deviled egg carrier.., that's a tough one to call. :D Sees to me that both you guys struck gold!!

What? I got socks from Mrs Bluegills too. More fuel for the woodstove I reckon, eh?

thats ok charlie brown, ham head got coal.

I wanted seat covers for my truck and a digital thermometer. Some how that translated into Kruege Coffe maker. I really like, but like usual, Ive been trying to convience the wife to get a kruege fro about 6 mounths now, but just cant comit to it cause there spendy. So her justification of getting one is to write it of as my xmas gift. I really enjoy it but really? I got a really nice electric grill one time for my Birth day, yea it was cool but not what I asked for when she asked me what Id like, so she got me a grill cause we needed one, and justified the cost as my b-day gift, we need a new vacumm so we'll see whats up for Mothers day this year.

good work Del, you posted that a few weeks ago and Walla!  It showed up.  Why HB eggs?  What's next hot chocolate?  Get a steak in that thing!!!

I  got a meat injector.  I took it out of the box and it came in this container that looked like it was used in the movie Pulp Fiction by some heroin addict.  Funny looking packaging to say the least but I'm injecting something with it soon.  Should be fun.

Next will be chicken breasts, but we are still eating Christmas leftovers and "detoxing" from excess food.   But I really wanted to try it.  After 45 min at 165, whites very tender, yolks dark yellow but set.  

Might have needed more time.  

PS, if an egg cracks in there you get a lot of foam to skim off... :P

Result of experiment

did you forget to poke it??  lol

 

I didn't poke it, but it was that the white was very very tender or soft.  So it was hard to handle.  The shell didn't stick at all.  I'm thinking it needed more time or higher temperature.

I think it's a Star Wars era cousin to my wife's paper towel holder; precision, low, and slow.  

I can't wait til you get the Christmas cleanse done.  It seems like a great tool for nailing a steak to perfection.

It reportedly is.  Basically you can dial in the exact degree of doneness that you prefer, even down to fine gradations on the rare-medium rare-medium scale.  Then at your convenience, take the steak out of the water, remove from plastic (for the more literal readers here), pat dry and sear quickly in very hot pan for crust.  

In the summer the sear would be the perfect application for either one of those "vortex" deals, or putting it right on the top of a chimney full of burning coals.  

Extremists use a torch.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
