Have you seen the price of whole cream? Making butter isn't cheaper than buying it.
Last nights tri tip.. turned out alright for my first attempt.
took them off at 130-135 and wrapped. I think they cooked at least another 5 degrees in the wrap… they didn’t go on to sear until 30 minutes after, and we were several beers into it by then and I think it was on a few minutes too long lol.
would have liked them a little rarer, like at least 10 degrees rarer.
I think there are only like 5 or 6 products in Canada that have to have an actual “best before date” you have no follow no questions. Everything else is simply added to a product to conform to regulations and standardsBreak up the Saputo Hermanos Dairy Cartel!!!
I was out with a chef friend last night and he told me the restaurants he worked at would routinely purchase expired cream at a discount.... the cream is good at least a week past the date and actually yields a sweeter butter.

Verticle cabniet broil king.What you using for a smoker?
That sounds riskyish
I'm aware of the best before dates on dairy largely being bullshit, but I don't know where to source good expired cream from. I usually just do costco for my butter making, can usually get 35% for about 4.19 a litre, so 4L will net me about 1.2kg of butter and then way more buttermilk than I can find a reasonable use for. Only so many pancakes you can make within the next week or pieces of chicken you can bring and 2.5L of buttermilk is a fucking lot.
Is that a propane one?Verticle cabniet broil king.
Yes,Is that a propane one?
With the Traeger i always worry about the fucking auger, cause it died on me on my 3rd smoke after I bought it, so pissed but they were great to deal with though, but that event has made me paranoid lol…would hate to have 10-12 people over and have it die on me.Yes,
Propane heat source, wood box on top of the heat and then a water/drippings tray above the wood box.
Parents have had the same model i have for about 10 years and works the same.With the Traeger i always worry about the fucking auger, cause it died on me on my 3rd smoke after I bought it, so pissed but they were great to deal with though, but that event has made me paranoid lol…would hate to have 10-12 people over and have it die on me.
breakdown on those propane models probably aren’t as common?
I might get one as a #2Parents have had the same model i have for about 10 years and works the same.
I use butter, salt and granulated garlic as the mop to get the skin crispy but thats on a low and slow cookSo I’m going to spatchcock 3 chickens for the smoker today or tomorrow.. anyone mix a bunch of corn starch with the dry rub to get the skin crunchy? I do that with wings but that is a 30 or so min cook, the full chickens are an hour fifteen-thirty cook. I put the smoker at 375 but sometimes only get 350 even with the thermal on it
I get rubber skin when I low slow chicken on the smoker with skin on.I use butter, salt and granulated garlic as the mop to get the skin crispy but thats on a low and slow cook
I visited my gramps yesterday and was imploring him to throw out some of the mountains of expired food they have in there (that they don’t even eat!). I pulled out literally like 20 expired cans of canned tuna and salmon, showing him expiration dates going as far back as 2009!!Break up the Saputo Hermanos Dairy Cartel!!!
