Useful. Thanks.

Me, I would like it to be easy to see how much delivery will be before I order.

Too many places want to sell you a "box", which is good for them, but stops you selecting what you want.

Pipers Farm link is a 404.

Which Tom Hixson brisket? Most are out of stock.

Foxholes say, "Dear Customer, we cannot fulfil any internet orders at this present time, please email our team to order". Not sure when email stopped being an internet service.

I enjoyed this, but a commercial rub?

And I haven't got a tandoor :)

Sample roll to try..£9.99...Oliver is your man...I use it.

 

Ice.

Aye, and £7.50 P&P for the 20ft sample. That's not a bargain :)

(and 29 cookies, which seems more like storing a whole website :) )

I was thinking a firepit was more like this:

[unreal prices; I just knew that they sold them :) ]

Here's a similar (identical?)  cheaper version of the ThermoPro

At the German forum (grillsportverein) AK users recommend to use a charcoal basket.

This one should fit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Besthouse-Charcoal-Stainless-Accessories-Louisiana/dp/B07CVW9YW6/ I ordered one but my AK hasn't yet been delivered so can't confirm if it fits

£40!

We bought from Farmison in their New Year "sale". I was impressed with what we got, but we didn't buy any large chunks.

We ordered from these guys 3 or 4 weeks ago, and it was good enough for us to be about to order more. Not a large choice online. They're reasonably local, so the box shouldn't spend more than the overnight in transit, though it's supposed be cooler this week, and they use that wool insulation.

Again, we didn't buy anything large, but the pork belly strips were great, so getting slab (and shoulder) this time. They've also got pork cheeks.

The bacon - especially the black - is very good. Not cheap 🙃

Nice vid, thanks. Food looks good.

I liked the way you stacked the potatoes on edge. I'm always there laying them flat, trying to make a nice spiral, and failing 🙃

Quick question about rolled brisket

I was in my local Morrisons today and they had a couple of pieces of Brisket on the butchers counter, they were much bigger than the normal 1kg pieces you see on the meat shelves in supermarkets.

Although both pieces were called rolled and had string round them they looked like a point and flat piece and a good 5-6kg if combined.

Spoke to the butcher and they said it is a whole brisket but fat trimmed and then rolled, looking at Skagg2000 picture above I could see how that could be.

He got one out of the fridge to show me although vacpacced it came in at just over 7kg (£6.50 kg) couldn't see what the marbling was like due to it being packed and rolled, but the one on the counter didn't seem to have a lot, but as I said it was rolled, but not as tightly as the vacpacced one. 

Seemed quite a bit of blood in the vacpac, but if anyone has any experience of buying one of these and had any success, would be grateful for any feedback. As even if needed further trimming there was less than a kg of fat on the 7kg piece, I would estimate and to end up with 6kg of meat for £45 seemed decent value.

I can't believe it was just a flat end at that weight and must have the point there as well although looked like a 20 inch sausage, when rolled but would imagine or hope would turn out like Skaggs when unrolled.

I appreciate that proper butchers brisket may be a better quality buy, but as never cooked a whole brisket before, seems decent value to practice on if it is suitable to use? 

Take the vacpac. Price is right :)

Drain the juice, then wrap the meat in a couple of teatowels. Leave in the fridge. The meat will dry and mature. Maybe change the teatowels, but let it stay in the fridge for as long as you're comfortable. You should end up with something different from your usual vacpac wetness.

Very hard to see what the bread mix was. You paused on it, but I couldn't read it. Be good to have a list of ingredients, either in the video or as a link.

Thank you.

Yep. Instant Pot curried cauflower day.

Ooh, got a link to the recipe?

Curried cauliflower or cabbage here is using up leftovers. Microwave to get it hot, then add to oil/turmeric/curry powder/seeds (cumin-kalonji-mustard-whatever). Maybe garam masala.

It'll be a generic belt. You need the size :)  If there's a number printed on what's left of the belt, you're in.

Otherwise, here's a link from a quick search:

Deals such as this salmon get posted in various threads and so are easy to miss. Would it be worth having a topic for posting deals? "Heads Up", or some such? Mind, there's lots of topics already :)

No experience, so ignore me, but putting things in cold water means they defrost quickly, so I'd not bother waiting. After all, the bird's going to be in the brine for ?24 hours.

I came across this company in Holland that makes a Mini Kamado which appears to be the same/similar dimensions to the Lidl one.

Maybe the name  lost something in the translation :)

Ordered. Thanks.
