Re: The 500? oven method!

Interesting method....saw a show last week where the chef from NO put a 9lb pork butt into a dutch oven with stock & veggies and then stuck it into a 500 degree oven...cooked it for one hour then turned oven off and left it for 14 hours..looked good & tender when he pulled it.....

high temp cooking like that will result meat that's medium to medium well around the pink center.

cook it low and slow and you'll end up with all pink and none of the more well done meat. 275 degrees works great.

side story...we cooked a tenderloin for Christmas. the wife pre-ordered it from Whole Foods...3 lb'er. she went to pay and they rang it up as chicken breast. she told the lady at the register that was wrong but the lady would not change it. so, for $7.99/lb we ate like kings.

wow, i see exclamation marks are free this morning.

to be more specific it was boneless, skinless, free range and hormone free. good food costs a little more. or do you prefer to eat birds standing in their own filth in tiny cages fed who knows what and injected with hormones? mmm, tasty hormones. giant agro-business will do what's best for you i'm sure.

Well when I buy Chicken Breasts over eating the ones we raise, the most I pay for organic skinless free range around here is about $3.29 a pound, you sound like you took my comment personally, it was just a great surprise that they are charging so much in Austin, TX as compared to Montana.

Just to add, most of the various meats we eat in this house are Wild Game meat, either Elk or Deer that I or my wife has taken with our bows, we also raise chickens and every couple of years we buy a calf and raise and slaughter it, all of our meat is organic and pretty much taken care of without hormones or chemicals.

My surprise was not about your choice to pay that much, just that they are charging that much.

My good meat does not cost a little more, in fact it is quite a bit less than what the local organic stores charge.

Might want to turn that sensitivity button down a bit.

Happy New Year to you as well!
