A while back fzxdoc posted about sous vide burger rings and I thought that sounded cool and a way to make healthier burgers. So, the wife grabbed some 93% ground from the store and I threw some burgers in the hot tub and Red Robin onion rings in the air fryer. Epic fail, burgers were gross with a weird texture and tasted dry at medium temps, onion rings ended up too done. The brioche buns were good.
Just a drunken, late night attempt at pizza, which suffered a spectacular Unscheduled Disassembly because some dumb, drunk SOB forgot to FLOUR THE DAMN PEEL!

Just botched a roast chicken. I know everyone loves the Thermapen and maybe I'm using it wrong but I've botched so many cooks with this thing. Probed the breast in like 7 spots, all over 160. Start slicing, raw meat. Whole meal in the can so no fun pics. Just wanted to gripe.
Well there is no pic for me to make fun of, so I guess I'll have to try and help instead. Take note of where the raw meat was, and next time be sure to probe that area. It took me more than one try to learn the right place to poke my bird.
C'mon mate, fries out of a bag and ketchup, you're livin' the dream aren't you?
Give yourself a good slap in the chops and go spend some time in the room of mirrors.
HawkerXP gave me an idea. I’ve always wanted to sometimes make fun or post sarcastic comments about some of the cooks we’ve posted. In a teasing manner. Most everyone here are damn good cooks, except for me. I know we have a lot of closet comedians here at AR also. I thought it might be fun to see people post some pictures of your cooks, then let everyone go to town with their funny or sarcastic comments. Hell, even post something bad you did that didn’t turn out well. Regular cooks or your best stuff. No pictures you post are off limits. Or any topic really, maybe post pics of some old grills or cookers so we can make fun of it or them. (This is not intended nor trying to take away from SUWYC)
Here is a really nice blackened ribeye I cooked tonight.
My wife: "What, no vegetables?"
Me: "Hey, potato is a vegetable "
Welp I got my Santa Maria for my 22" Weber and for my first cook i threw the 18" grill grates from my PBC on it and made burgers. I was so excited to try the SM that I completely missed the point of it and just had to cook something!!! Whats wrong with me.
Other photos are of me trying to season my grill grates in the PBC with burgers and some pineapple. My burgers are so undersized. . . Get a hold of yourself 'Randa.

Ok, been a while… so I woke up my sourdough starter to feed her. It’s been a while. I had a bunch of discard and didn’t want to waste it. Found a recipe on KA for pizza dough. On the surface, it looks good…. but, meh…. Cracker crust. Not our jams. Basically, this was a fail. I believe my starter was just too far gone.
Heres the final pics from my “Inverted Vortex-Cider Can” bird cook the other night.
Don’t let the faded from top to bottom color scheme make you think this was intentional. Came off the gill with 185 upper/white, 160 min thigh and 125 bottom/ legs and internal cavity. Wrapped and tossed in the oven just to say I have F ed up a meal in two different cookers before throwing the nightmare away.
Did I mention the warm garbage smell I was able to create with the combination of caramel apple cider and lukewarm chicken juice stewing for a couple hours?! It permeated the bird in a way you only wish smoke and seasoning could!!!
@SheilaAnn
The smell was just awful! It really smelled like a trash can at the fair in July! Im burning many grill off right now to clean out the funk both physical and olfactory!!!

Err Panhead John Are you referring to this quote “Next time Mr. Bell we don’t need such a large specimen, but yes you do have hemorrhoids?” If you are I will gladly accept the award. However, I do have to admit hoovarmin ‘s was much more succinct and on point. My hat is off to him.
Heres what I’m cooking today…chicken grease mixed with caramel apple cider out of my kettle and off the vortex…that freaking chicken just keeps giving! I can’t figure out how a bird that never finished cooking spattered grease all over this grill and vortex. Never seen anything like it. Maybe I did it when grabbing it out of the grill in a fit of despair and shame….

My wife made Chicken Egg Roll Bowls and an Asian zing sauce for me to bring to work tonight. She put the sauce in a squirt bottle for me. I tried to squirt it, but the nozzle was apparently plugged and the whole top shot off. Now I have to clean the floor too.
