Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...back up bronco! I think myself and the rest of the Cadre need elaborate steps to complete this process. Especially the part about the butter.

No problem, here is some of what inspired me.

Knew it was Guga! Interested to see how it turns out!

 

[NurseDave]

Wait, shouldn't he sous vide them?

That video says you should just bag it, and not waste the butter….

I was wondering about that. But part of it could be the show. I say stick it in a bag with all the butter and sous vide it for three hours!

It wont be a waste. There will also be many sauces.

I’m just relaying what was said in the video. He said to not use it. But you’re not aging it as long as he did either.

I'll be smoking a turkey breast for Christmas and for New Years I'll be doing a pernil with arroz con gandules (yellow rice with pigeon peas) maybe some tostones (fried plantain. For those not in the know..

You suppose microwaving would speed up the aging?

Guga has a whole thing with dry aging… butter was actually one of his better ideas (see peanut butter, Nutella, yogurt, honey). It’s always better to just dry age it using those cool bags, but where is the fun in that?

Yeah it is kind of a gimmick, but if the roast is sitting for a week, why not do a coffin of butter for show.

Spiral honey ham with some yams covered in marshmallows, some stuffing, and Hawaiian rolls on the side…that’s all I need!

Smoking St. Louis style Ribs, sweet potato casserole, random Russian salads iryna will make.

Next time, dry age in Da Bomb!

Oh my yes

Doing something a little different this year. Turkey on the Weber Kettle using the rotisserie with charcoal. Also doing ham balls with a sweet sour glaze.

Welp, my wife realized we have enough time on Christmas day to do the whole she-bang. So we'll be having a turkey from the outdoor air fryer. William Sonoma was clearing out all their Thanksgiving stuff. So our brine, gravy base, stuffing, and cranberry relish will be from them.
