Nope, they just steam @ 212°F until they're dry, then the temperature rises until they smolder. All you're doing is delaying the smolder

Wasting bourbon

I felt like such a moron when I finally realized this. I had been doing it for years and the same thought dawned on me.

This was the first year in about 9 that I didn't do corned venison. Mostly because I didn't have enough whole-muscle in the fridge to do. So I did a beef & Guinness stew that turned out pretty spectacular. No pics, unfortunately. Salted the meat, and poured a 16oz can of Guinness over it to...

Right on....thank you.

Ground meat extruded into a bacon strip shape? Or did you cure whole muscle? Please detail your method

Salt shouldn't exceed 2% of the meat weight. For seasonings, I personally go with 1 tbsp dry per lb of meat. A teaspoon or two red pepper flakes should be ample for 5 lbs. of meat.

Here's your reminder. I need to dig through the freezer for the meat I'm going to use

He said competition rub. Those judges want to get punched in the face with spices, and if that first flavor isn't candy apple sweet, you're not doing it right

No, it's the seed pod of cilantro plants. Hard to describe. Good flavor, but probably easy to get too much. Go easy. If I can describe it, there's a little bit of a licorice/anise flavor to it....

Honestly, I would get rid of the cumin. I don't like how it works in pork. I think a touch of celery seed would add a bit of a vegetal *oomph* to it. Bittersweet chocolate powder might give it some depth. Mushroom powder might work as well, but I would go lightly with it. A little bit can...

For stuff like overnight oats, it's a game changer. Anything that get's crusty and sticky. Rotel dip is another one. But for a soup, stew, or chili, I don't think it would save a tremendous amount of time.

Leave the crock pot alone. I did an old Italian recipe for Italian fest a couple years ago, and it did very well in the competition. Italians probably consume more rabbit than any other country. The first time I had it, this was what it was. You're going to have to hit the "Translate to...

Never mind. I've looked no fewer than 5 times since our hunt in early January, and the survey's just not been available. It's up there easy to find now, so I've sent a reminder to all the guys in our group

I've only received the Quota Duck survey. I used to be able to search and find the Sandhill survey to do on my way home from the hunt. Can't find it anywhere anymore
