Game-Day Winners For Your Party
Brisket Nachos: Party Time Temp Tips
Game Day is here, and you know what that means. Cheering, friends, excitement, competition, victory, and glory. In other words: Nachos. Nachos for the Big Game are as American as hot wings for the Big Game, or chili for the Big Game, or … do people eat apple pie for football? Besides the point. The…
Smoked Asian Sticky Ribs Recipe and Thermal Pointers
You think you know ribs. You’ve cooked spare ribs, baby backs, beef short ribs. They’ve all been fun, they’ve all been delicious. But your rib repertoire is woefully incomplete if you haven’t made these sticky-sweet, glazed, Asian-scented ribs. This recipe from Hey Grill Hey is super tasty and absolutely worth talking about. Contents Baby back…
Game Day Chili-Cheese Fries: Temperatures for the Win!
It’s game time! You’ve gathered your friends, donned the jersey, and are ready for the biggest snack-food event of the year. What are you serving? Chili-Cheese Fries! Aren’t you? You are if you want the undying admiration of your football crew. After some extended work on fries here at the ThermoWorks demo kitchen, we thought that…
Mega-Rib BBQ Sandwich: Temp-perfect and Huge
When a normal-sized BBQ sandwich won’t do, you need to up the ante. Do you want more? Do you want better? A certain fast food chain has long (and periodically) offered their idea of a BBQ sandwich, but it’s not good. We can do better! Enter the mega-rib sandwich. It’s a whole slab of ribs,…
Smoked Deviled Eggs: Cool Smoke for a Hot Appetizer
No matter the party, I believe there’s almost always a place for deviled eggs. Fourth of July? Picnic time. Thanksgiving? Put them on the buffet. A Huge Dish (wink) football game? finger foods reign supreme. These smoked deviled eggs are a perfect addition to any feast. The smoking adds depth of flavor, and…well, we don’t…
Chicken Wings for the Win
The not-so-secret hope of my heart whenever anyone says, “come watch the game at my place this weekend,” is that there will be wings. Not just some wings, either. Lots of wings. Wings—preferably plenty of flats!—with blue cheese dressing for dipping. Sadly it doesn’t often happen, and the reason may be that many people don’t…
Perfect a New Skill
Delicious Homemade Sandwich Bread: Easy to Make With Thermal Tips
In my Great-grandmother’s time, and her mother’s time, and hers before that, it was not the norm to buy all of your bread at the store. Heck, not even all of it came from the baker. Speaking in broad generalities, many people used to make their daily bread. Now, I’m not advocating for a return…
How to Make Canadian Bacon/Back Bacon: Much Better Homemade
This may not come as a surprise, but Canadian bacon is not called Canadian bacon in Canada. Oh, and it is not a round, tube-shaped ham. Far from the floppy, soggy ham you’ve seen strewn about on pizza, or unjustly represented by the weird, perfectly circular meat slices on eggs Benedict, real Canadian bacon—and even…
Homemade Cannoli: Recipe and Frying Temps for a Delicious Dessert
Good cannoli can be hard to find. Unless you live in a city with a substantial Italian population, cannoli might not even be available, let alone good. But that just isn’t acceptable. Everyone should be able to enjoy great cannoli! Here, we present a recipe for fantastic cannoli with crisp, flavorful shells and beautifully simple,…
Hot and Fast Brisket: Done In Half the Time
Brisket is meat alchemy. You take a tough, useless cut of meat full of iron-like connective tissue and turn it into smooth, soft, smoky, savory meat pudding! But, if there’s anything to dislike about brisket, it has to be that it takes seemingly forever to cook. 12 hours? 18 hours?!? There’s no way to cook…
How to Make Pâte de Fruit: Firm, Yielding Texture Due to Temperature Control
I first tasted pâte de fruit when I was working in a high-end cooking goods store. We received a shipment to sell and sampled a box so we could know how to answer customers’ questions about them. It was all I could do to not eat the whole box. I’d never encountered something quite like…
Homemade Chocolate Babka: Perfectly Done, Easier Than Expected
The idea of making chocolate babka used to scare us, but then we made some—and found out just how delicious and easy it is to make at home. Though we love the mail-order loaves from classic bakeries in New York, with the right temperatures and a good recipe, we can make it at home for…
