    Hank's True BBQ cooking class

    I held a barbecue workshop/class today, together with a local bbq store. It was 8AM - 4PM, and it was great fun! The weather was good almost all day. I had my students do five different dishes to practice various types of cooks and techniques. First out was smoked shrimp. Then on to smoked salmon. We then trimmed and prepped ribs, and put them on the grills. Then on to Picanha, two styles, then big fat ribeyes. Finally we ate the ribs. Throughout the day I explained a lot of theory, all related to what they were practicing during the day. I even bought a small whiteboard to help explain things.

    All in all the food turned out great, and I had a good time. More classes are planned, I look forward to tweaking a few minor things before giving the next class.

    Here are a few pics from the event. As a teacher I didn't have lots of time, so I didn't get to take a lot of photos, but here goes.

    Students devouring smoked shrimp. Served on butcher's paper. Keeping it simple!

    Here's one picanha, did a few with searing vs no searing, so they could taste the difference

    Big fat ribeyes, 2" thick. I had them all do some serious reverse sear training.

    We used Napoleon grills. I had the students pair up. I haven't used this brand before, and I'm not too impressed with build quality. Also they were a lot harder to adjust temps on with the top and bottom vent. I'd take a used Weber kettle off of craig's list any day over a new Napoleon. Good thing I had a Slow 'N Sear for all of them.

      Did you mention I support you in almost everything you do?
      Great food! Great pics!

      One thing, you are a little harsh on the Napoleons, hmmm.

          Fantastic.
          Sure they learnt a lot from a well schooled teacher.
          Anybody take home a slow & dear?

            They wanted, but I honestly think they forgot during the whole day’s hustle n bustle.

          Speaking as a former college instructor, it sounds like you did a great job with your class. Five dishes in 8 hours is an ambitious plan, and I bet you were very busy the whole time. I imagine you did not need to stop for lunch -- I'm sure that helped!

            That sounds like a lot of fun Henrik.

            My wife mentioned a cooking class one time. My comment was "How much are they willin' to pay me to teach it?". She hasn't mentioned any cookin' classes since.

              My first thoughts were.... Where did they find crawfish in Sweden?? looks great!!! Judging by the flowers on the tree, Spring has arrived there...

                Crawfish is very big in Sweden, there’s plenty available. But this is smoked shrimp. And yes, finally nice and warm out!

              Wow Henrik. I wish I lived closer to you! That all sounds fun!

                  Sure was! Doing another class on Saturday. Bigger, and hopefully better :-)

                Wow great class. I loved visiting Norway and Sweden when I was in the Navy back in the late 70's, never made it to Stockholm though. Just plain beautiful country you live in.
