I love to cook and not to toot my own horn, but I can cook my azz off, Dont go knocking the grill now either. Some nice ribs slow cooked on the BBQ for about 4 to 5 hours, seasoned just right, basted with apple juice then smothered in special BBQ sauce right at the end. Dayum, they're good. I love to cook on the grill, but come winter time, I love cooking inside making all kinds of stuff..man I can tear up some groceries!!

I enjoy cooking and eating, but cooking for a bunch of people is fun, I am doing most of the food for our customer appreciation day at work, the company is suppling some of the food. I have 45lb of pork butts smoking for pulled pork, made 1.5 quarts of BBQ sauce, a roaster of scalloped potatos, gallon of coleslaw, a type of baked beans, a gob cake, and what seems to be a crowd favorite a simple cheeseball.

There won't be much left, if it is anything like last year, 30+ pound of hams smoked with.

I will go up to the local market and pick up some cut of meat, or maybe just some burgers and hot sausage, and grill up for my coworkers and a few of the people that work next door to us.

I really like cooking outside, but where i live the winters seem very long, but usually give a break now and then to get to the grill, smoker or deep fryers.

 

I love cooking -- it's one of my favorite things to do, especially on chilly fall or winter afternoons! While I'll take a crack at anything, I especially like making traditional American comfort foods -- meatloaf, pot roast, etc.

I would say my favorite dish to make is homemade bean soup -- damn good on a blustery evening sitting by the fireplace!

 

i'm just learning...at 37...I'm surprised how easy it is...I'm sick of take out and eating out...baking is the next step...Its a wounder I have kept my self alive...all I need is a woman that will trade sex for my cooking....Than I will be grand master chef...with a big......biger....mixing bowl.

 

...i'm glad i'm not the only one that loves cooking

all i own is cast iron cookware
but i do have a real double pasta pot


with winter coming....i can't wait

i cook on the wood stove all winter
nothing better than cooking while watching tv at the same time

come thanksgiving its a open invite to all out there that want a good 'ol fashioned dinner


its all on me
everyone invited!

...zap!

 

I can do just about any thing just ask my dead friends and family!

 

Technically I belive that is what they call Bar-B-Q'ing. Bar B Q'ing is not about Bar-B-Q Sauce. It's about cooking it slow on an even low flame. There is definatly an art to it vs grilling. Which is what most people do on the Bar B. with hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, steaks, etc. I can't knock someone who knows how to Bar B Q and have it come out cooked/ yet tender.

Your ribs sound smacktackular. I've mastered Bar B Q ham. Takes about 1 -1.5 hours per pound, cook with fruit tree wood, "apple wood is the best IMO" Hickory as a last resort "unles I'm just going to smoke it then I'll use hickory", Inject it with seasonings, keep the skin lubricated with spiced wine, Then in the last hour cover it with honey, at the very end pour applesauce over it and it will stick to the glazed honey, cook until applesauce disappears. Most of the time I don't even get to carve it. People start tearing it off the bone taking "samples" before it makes it to the table. Or they will have it carved and a slab in thier hands before I get the Bar B Q cleaned up.

I grill, bar-B-Q and smoke meats year around. I drive fence post in the ground and wrap land scaping platic around 3 sides of it if I have to when it's cold to block the wind and keep it from carrying the heat off the Smoker, or Bar-B-Q, or grill, or deep fryer, which ever one I am using. It's a lot of fun in the snow too. Have you ever had deep fryed turkey?

 

I love deep frying turkey. Theres nothing better tasting. I smoke alot to. have you ever smoked bologna? Buy a piece thats about 3" round and however long you want it, cut it into 1/2" thick slices and smoke it for a couple hours. It sounds weird, but its good as hell. If you want a good desert or just something sweet to pick on, peel a pineapple and put it on your rotiesere(sp) keep the grill temp around 200-250, make a mixture of brown sugar, maple syrup and dark rum...each ingredient to your taste...mine is always more rum.Anyway, baste the pineapple as its spinning every few minutes or so. Once thats done, that will be gone before you can get it off the spit.

Not really. I can cook a decent lasagna as well as a recent Salmon and fefettuccini dish I picked up. However, I am currently waitin for a new all stainless 10-pc pot set from Amazon as I intend to learn. I've been cooking for myself all of 6 months now and I'm tired of the junk I nuke.

 

Smoked Bologna... Never heard nor wouldn't have thought of it. Ussually if it's meat I'll sacrafice it over a fire of some kind atleast once.

We can't eat turkey any other way now. It's got to be deep fryed, anything else seems to dry to us.

 

I have smoked Spam several times, take out of the can and season with your favorite seasoning.

Over at the one BBQ forum they have mentioned bologna, but they are taking a larger chunk of it, and using a piecs of say 1.5 or 2" pvc pipe putting a hole through it and then through it the other way, making a hollow cross shape in the center. They them fill the cross with sauce, cheese, onions or what ever. Then take the plug out of the pipe, and cut off the ends and put them back in the holes and smoke until you get desired doneness.

I haven't tried it yet but I plan to.

Hardboiled eggs are good smoked also, I usually peel mine first, have a few ready when i am doing a short smoke on somthing, and throw them in when i take the other stuff out.

 

Smoke one breast side down so all the juices migrate into the breast, that is some good eating. Deep fried is good also, but usually a fair amount of clean up.

 

yes....I can cook....in fact....my food can give most 4-star establishments a run for their money (so I have been told)....

 

I cooked an excellent pork roast last night. It cooked about 2 hours in the electric skillet. Me and my fiance invited my brother and his wife over since it was a good size roast. My brother is picky about his meats and he said this was one awesome roast. It was only the second time I have cooked one. The last time I cooked it in the oven and it was pretty good too.

I enjoy cooking even though I don't get to cook very often. When it comes top meats, I can cook them. I am like my mom, she usually doesn't use cookbooks. She just throws stuff together. Her spaghetti is some of the best ever.

 

for being a sophomore in college i must say i have some pretty damn good skills. i make my own pasta sauce from scratch - i made my own pasta a couple weeks ago. i love to cook. for the first few weeks of school my roommate and i were just nuking stuff just cos it was easy. i busted out some good ol homemade cookin and it has never been the same. here's an idea for some cheap and GOOD college dinner that will feed 3-4:

Brown:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 white onion - diced/chopped depending on your pref.

Drain off grease...

Add & let simmer:
1/2 stick of velveeta
1 can tomato sauce

Mix in with 1 lb shell noodles. then bake for 10 min @ 350*

Voila. Shell Noodle Casserole.
