Official 2023 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

[Brentr]

Happy New Year to all my TFP friends. Yes I am starting my Food thread and please all is invited to chime in. We traditionally have a nice meal to bring in the New Year and this year is no different. Appetizers are Crab Balls with Crab sauce, Rumaki.
Main course is Prime Rib with Au Jus and Horseradish, Duchess Potatoes, Carrot Soufflé, Roasted Brussels sprouts and Crescent rolls.
Dessert is Carmel Apple Upside down cake.
DW did most of the cooking and baking and of course I did the Prime Rib.
And of course all the Champagne you can drink

More like an offering to the universe to go easy on us this round. The last couple laps around the sun were a doozy

Ah, January in Texas. 80° with blue skies and sunshine! Good day for grilling burgers. I wanted to try something different, so I added a few ingredients to the ground beef: diced jalapeño, chopped bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese, plus the requisite salt and pepper, along with several healthy dashes of Worcestershire. In the end, I should have used a little more bacon and another jalapeño, but they still tasted great!

[jark87]

Go Jags

Congrats @Brentr ! Unbelievable comeback! I turned the game off when Lawrence threw his 4th pick. Imagine my surprise when I got up this morning and saw that the Jags won!

Monster omlette

Is that a whole dozen eggs ? No need to flex, man. We get it, you're rich.

Jags have been always been the one to beat. We have very close ties to one of the Jags employees so we support them. This Saturday is going to be a good one

Not rich financially, but rich in living. That is a 5 egg omelette, stuffed with cheese, mushrooms, onions and bacon

Another monster omlette got to have something in my stomach before the big jags game

Ok u cooking fools. School me here.

I have been doing wings in air frier for a year. They r awesome in there but it’s a pain due to size. I have the largest dual basket ninja and it isn’t cutting it. I want to try convection in the over.

My plan was wire rack on tray. But the temp. We are big convection cooks.

What is the highest I can go for crisp for those who use convection. I don’t have an “air fryer” setting on my stove I’m on a dual fuel wolf stove.

Someone mentioned 495. That sound like blow torch mode.

Ok people teach me!

Hope everyone is good!

Brent. Man! New Year’s resolution. Less eggs. Lol. I’m kidding.

Really lay off the eggs. Lol

Try the same temp as in your air fryer or just get 2 air fryers. lol
I usually do mine on the gas grill one burner set on low and they come out golden brown and crispy all the time.
Eggs are a great source here are some interesting facts:
A large egg contains about 6 grams of protein. Eggs also are a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin D (which aids bone health and the immune system) and choline (which helps metabolism and liver function, as well as fetal brain development)

Eggs are a nutritious protein source and a staple in many people's diets. Though they're high in cholesterol, they also have many health-promoting qualities. For healthy adults, eating 1–2 eggs a day appears safe, as long as they're consumed as part of an overall nutritious diet.

As a child we could not afford to buy eggs and having eggs would be a very special treat so now cooking eggs on a regular basis is something special to me. Not everyone grew up in America.
