l4y3rcake Posted May 28, 2018 Share Now that I know how to make pulled pork sandwiches, I'm never going to stop. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Now try making an apple coleslaw and put the coleslaw on the sandwich. Best flavour combo ever.

Pants Boy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Was feeling a little peckish so did this (on the 18th) Was supposed to have help, but none of them pitched so I called a mate to come and help carve around 16:00. Took us just over 90 minutes to carve all three - sharp knives only, as it should be. Fed 198 people comfortably.

Pants Boy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Injected each lamb with ~1 litre of me and my dad's 'stolen' marinade recipe. We've used it in well over 50 lambs so far, and always get great comments about it.

Readsalot Posted May 30, 2018 Share I made pork belly and damn, it came out good. Slightly over caramelized (though I'm choosing to call it Cajun blackened style ). I used a lazy version Gordon Ramsay's recipe, by grilling it in the oven rather than in a frying pan before cooking it with chicken stock. Also, instead of his spices I used a dry rub before the time and then added a meat marinade and BBQ sauce before putting it in the oven for the flavour. I'm happy with it but taking everything into consideration I have to say I still prefer pulled pork. It's just so much more versatile. https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/slow-roasted-pork-belly/ I'm happy with it but taking everything into consideration I have to say I still prefer pulled pork.

Removed the skin cap, salted, peppered and smoked paprika'd it, removed the belly ribs as well, so that I can cook those up slightly differently. It's going in the weber with some hickory wood chips, and I'm using the snake method to cook it low and slow. Putting the skin on top of the belly to protect the fat cap and also expose it to some smoke, and then gonna crisp it up with my blowtorch. Will post pics later.

WeekendWarrior80 Posted May 30, 2018 Share This thread, and the braai thread must be a Vegans nightmare Saying that, I bought another pork shank the other day, so I'll be doing another Eisbein soon.

Hunting is mos a gateway drug for murder... WeekendWarrior80 and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 30, 2018 Share Well, here's the before. Weber set up for slow cook, using the "snake method" with saturated wood chips on top. Belly in it's constituent parts, but all in one pile. On the barbie.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2018 Share After... well... what can I say. THE BEST YET. I recently acquired a dual-zone salter bluetooth thermometer. One meat probe, one oven sensor. Max temp of 260 deg C. Used that yesterday to regulate the temp inside the weber, and check for doneness on the pork. Set an alarm for 63deg (right temp for pork) and another alarm for 150deg for the weber. Was happily smoking along for about 90 min at a steady 150, and then I closed the vents fully for the final 30 min while it was climbing to the 63deg target. Temp stabilised at 140, but I could watch it drop every few seconds in response to the reduced airflow. This is a game changer. WOW. And the meat... OMFS the meat. When the fat is not quite liquid yet not quite gelatinous in texture, and it just melts as it hits your tongue... the smoke from the hickory was PERFECT, and it sliced (so cliche) like butter. When it was done, took the lid off, put the skin on top of the direct heat of the briquettes, took the belly off to rest and then opened the vents up fully to get the fat crackled. OMFS.
