really? i found the pre-ground cheap stuff doesn't melt nearly as well as off the block. it's got the same powdery feel as pre-shredded regular cheese does

yeah i've tried an alfredo with that once and it was gritty and gross the only thing i use pregrated parm for is a recipe my wife found for gluten free parmesan crusted chicken thighs, where the cellulose actually helps bind the crust

I've been doing this too, it's way better. After taking the pork out of the oven, I pan fried it on the stove top for quesadillas over the weekend e: also, I finally stopped wasting my time on overnight pork dry rubs and only seasoned the meat with salt just before placing it in the Dutch oven Fleetwood has issued a correction as of 22:04 on Apr 21, 2021 |

BISCUITS: RECIPE: https://www.momontimeout.com/perfect-biscuits-every-time-recipe/ TIPS: I sifted the dry ingredients and then used a cheese grater to shred the butter to pea-size per the above recipe and then turned it out onto floured surface with no kneading. LEARNED'S: Next time I will use something other than an old fashioned glass to cut the dough circles out, they were a little wide but this is fine I'll make breakfast sandwiches with them.

yeah the trick to giant rise biscuits is a sharp floured metal circle and no twisting in the punch-down. those look good as heck though.

now I want to try to mandolin some frozen butter for biscuits. fwiw I tried to do cubed butter once and it didn't turn out right (I didn't use a pastry cutter to mix it though). grated frozen unsalted butter is the key

grated frozen butter is key to pie crust too

Smooshing the butter flat with your fingers is nice and results in a flaky biscuit if you work it all into small flat pieces and do the roll out and fold method a few times. I'm sure the grater works better but I'm lazy about washing extra dishes.

I'm sure the grater works better but I'm lazy about washing extra dishes. I did have to flake some of the butter manually because the frozen butter tends to clump unless you empty it promptly, but it was necessary to use a fork and my fingers for dough mixing so it worked out okay.

I'm new to smoking meat, and the PBC is has been really great. One downside I've discovered though is that the charcoal takes forever to extinguish since it doesn't seal all the way

I think there's probably some trick to sealing those upright smokers. I have a weber propane smoker which is pretty decent but it doesn't seal. I can still get good smoke rings out of it by keeping it well stocked with big chunks of wood. I've heard you can seal them with like silicone but I've been too scared and lazy to do it
