What youll eating

[TerpyTyrone]

@GCG hooked a ninja up! He gave me,some HOT deep fried peanuts. I started eating em at work and we got to talking.
Man I miss the boiled peanuts and biscuits and gravy, down south. It seemed like every gas station has a pot full of them lil basterds.
What's it like up north in the abyss? No gas station delis I presume?

Don't care where you are from - you have to bow down to NOLA for the best (and best variety) of food. Other cities may have a specialty or two - New Orleans specializes in everything.

Don't live there now, but grew up there. My next door neighbor was

My dad was sneaky - decent cook and good with the seafood. He would invite them over all the time for a crab or crawfish boil, fish fry, BBQ, whatever - just so they would invite us over for dinner

Worked with a couple cats from “the south” and mother of god crawfish boils were the shit when the did them. You’re right on the beer part too. Case of miller lite would vanish into thin air

We got the bags of live ones (crabs or crawfish) if we didn't get our own. Crabbing was fun though, no traps. Just a weighted chicken wing on some twine, and when the crabs start swimming away with it you dip net them

chicken gumbo was invented by some jackass in Kansas that wanted to replicate real gumbo but had no access to seafood.

We went to Flemings last night and I tried to pound a gigantic 30+oz Tomahawk Ribeye and failed miserably. I'm sure I'm not going to take a crap for three days. Merry Christmas all.

I found a 9 pound turkey...and that is great because that bad boy is going in the instant pot.

There are 2 appliances you need. 1 you NEED and the other is just amazing.

Get an instant pot. IT is the one you NEED because you can do this...

cook a frozen chicken in 1 hour 10 minutes (plus pressure up and down)

Corned beef in 90 minutes

Frozen beef dip sandwhiches in 80 minutes (we need a recipe section).

Bacon carbonara or a soup with fresh veg in 10 minutes.

I tested them all at least 6 times each because it is impossible...but its not.

The other is an air fryer. A frozen food dudes best friend. Trust me it is amazing.

Frozen egg rolls or chicken wings come out like they are deep fried. Crispy and perfect
Chicken fingers...forgetaboutit

but leftovers from the bar...ACES !!!!

 

[BigBallzWillie]

Re-heating pizza, particularly sicilian is the bomb in the air fryer! Fried chicken, french fries, or fried whatever with no oil another bomb.

I don't have an instapot yet

 

[gwheels]

The beef dip OMG and it doesnt make sense
1/3 cup of soy sauce....worsteshire and fish sauce.
1 cup of beef broth
1 roast...use your tougher stuff if you must but a sirloin tip 3 to 4 pounds or a boneless blade/chuck is the best
Medium pressure 1 hour 15 minutes let it depressure.
Fry some onions for your sandwhich....for the record the sauce stinks....blah

When its done you slice (LOL) or pull the meat apart...put it in fresh sub buns or whatever. I have 3 bakeries close to the house and get them FRESH !

Some swiss cheese...

but when its done. wow best gravy you ever had !

My 13 year old is my barometer. He doesnt like most anything and he LOVES this.

And i have done it with pork roasts and they are probably even better. Go instant pot.

GET ONE ! you will say...that G....he was right...IT happens A LOT !!!!!

Have you seen the Ninja Foodi? I looked at the IP but the Foodi had an air fryer hood. So after I cook my chicken I can brown it right in the pot. However IP now has the Duo. I would have went with that if they'd had it when I was in the market. I prefer the footprint on the IP.
