Why Your BBQ Thermometer Isn't Accurate


My friends at Thermoworks, sellers of the Thermapen instant read thermometer posted, what I believe is one of the most imformative articles about why you cannot trust that dome thermometer that came with your barbecue.  Here's a link to the story. Take their information to heart!

What To Consider When Buying A New Grill:


The sunnier, warmer weather is sure to help kick-up grill sales. Whether you're replacing an old, worn-out model, or want to upgrade to something different, here are some things to keep in mind before you make your next grill investment:

July is National Blueberry Month. They're more popular than ever. Here's a way to use up some of your fresh-picked blueberries to make a great summer slow sipper that uses these antioxident rich berries. The Blues Cooler helps you get down!

THE RECIPE FILE

Spiced Round


Spiced Round Brine---John Eggerton, author of Southern Food, includes a very intriguing recipe for a cured beef round. Right now, the price of round is fairly reasonable. The round is the rear leg of the cow. A frequently used muscle, the meat from this area is lean but tough.   This is an adaptation of recipes used by butchers in the Nashville area in the 1800s to make spiced round.

Earth & Sea Rub


Fresh salmon abounds in the NW this time of year. Here's a very tasty rub you can use to flavor your fresh-caught fish. It's best used on more robust flavored fish, rather than milder, white fish. Earthiness joins the sea.

Dinosaur BBQ Red Rub-


Dinosaur BBQ has been around for more than 20 years. Originally in Syracuse, NY, they've branched out to a couple more locations. This is a great rub for chicken wings. Actually, I think you could use it on beef and pork too.

FLAT IRON STEAK With Basalmic Vinegar Glaze


This cut of steak is from the shoulder of a beef animal. The steak encompasses the infraspinatus muscles of beef, and one may see this displayed in some butcher shops and meat markets as a "top blade" roast. Steaks that are cross cut from this muscle are called top blade steaks.
