What is the termTo cook in hot fat?

To Cook in Hot Fat means to deep fry in hot melted lard or shortening. Most deep frying is done in a combination of vegetable and peanut or other oils. These oils are more "health conscious" than melted lard or shortening, which was the oil of choice perhaps 20 years ago. The reason you use hot fat is that it has a lower cost, higher burning temperature than other oils, and the oil will not break down as easily as others.

Egg Shells *WILL* dissolve in Vinegar. When you drop egg shells in to the vinegar, you can immediately see bubbles appear as the Acidity of the liquid takes effect. Calcium Carbonate (Egg shells) reacts with the vinegar to form Carbon Dioxide.

Calcium Carbonate is *NOT* soluble in water, boiling or not.

Try it.

Immerse an egg completely in vinegar for around a week, all that will be left is the Yolk with the protective membrane.

Sausage is normally fried, not boiled. But in either case, watch the color to see when it is cooked. If you are in doubt, cut a sausage in half to examine the cross-section.

I know it sounds crazy but the sweetness balances out the saltiness of the corned beef. Try it you'll be a believer

How long do you grill a 2lb pork tenderloin?

Pork tenderloin and chicken breasts are my most dependable items for grilling. In both cases, I tell my wife it will take 23 minutes though I don't time them and that's never the time. I check doneness using my barbeque fork.

Here's the process. heat the grills until the barbeque thermometer reads 375 - 400. Place the oiled and seasoned pork or chicken onto the grill for about 1 - 2 minutes, lid closed. Turn the meat and grill for 1 - 2 minutes on the other side (shorter for smaller pieces). Next, turn off all but the front or far-side burner and place the meat on the high rack at the back or side away from the "on" burner. Touch the meat lightly (don't pierce) with the fork; it will feel squishy. Turn the burner to low so the closed barbeque reaches 330 - 370 and allow the meat to cook slowly for 12 - 15 minutes. Pour yourself a bit more wine. after the 12 - 15 minutes, do the fork-check again. You will find the meat firmer. Continue the cooking, checking every 4-5 minutes, until there is no more "squishiness". Remove from heat; cover with foil for 3-5 minutes; cut 1/2 inch slices on an angle and serve. Family and guests will exclaim about the moistness and tenderness. Enjoy the meat and the praise!
