[eyeguy 54]

wifey got me the double decker smoked deviled egg carrier.  

[RebelSS]

Alright!!!  Go get 'em dere, Luke boy!!!!

So I have been wondering Eye Guy.  Do you raise chickens?  You sure go through a lot of eggs.  I love eggs too.  I take a cholesterol pill daily. How many cholesterol pills do you take every day?  

[delcecchi]

Turns out eggs don't really have much effect on cholesterol in your blood.  

[eyeguy 54]

no pills   just vitamins and some supplements,  might go on a low dose statin in January. #s are good.

[leechlake]

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.  Sees to me that both you guys struck gold!!

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.

Shop around for the K cups, or buy some of the reusable ones.

Precision sous vide circulator.  HB eggs first project.

[leechlake]

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.

things from Mars should not be allowed to HB eggs. 

[delcecchi]

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... 

Result of experiment

[eyeguy 54]

did you forget to poke it??  lol

 

[delcecchi]

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.

Does it take plutonium refills?! 

[bobberineyes]

Keep the pics coming del, that contraption looks pretty cool, I never seen that. Spose even boar could do spaghetti noodles with that...

[Boar]

I doubt, speggitt kicks my A$$, its my kryptonite!

[delcecchi]

He might try, but it is for precision low and slow. 

[leechlake]

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.

[RebelSS]

Will that work in the bathtub too, Del?

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.
