Bumping for Thanksgiving and a new trick:

If you get grease on your clothes, spray them with Goo Gone before washing. It will come right out!

You already dropped that one a couple pages back.....

New favorite way to cook steaks on my weber 22"
weber chimney half full, set vortex upside down in center of charcoal rack , weber cast iron center insert.
all vents open, pour the lit coals into the inverted vortex and cook the steak on the outer edges of the grill with the lid on until they hit ~115* internal temp, remove the lid and let the coals get going really good then sear to perfection on the cast iron center.

My favorite kitchen hack is microwaved corn. I know that it sounds terrible but I tried it to see for myself. It works so dang well. . . Here is a random video on youtube that shows how to do it.

This literally changed everything for summer corn.

Save the plastic container that a rotisserie chicken comes in. When roasting peppers on gas eye, they make a great steamer for the peppers. Easier than a bag.

OK, I have a new one for you.

On Thanksgiving, I broke one of my Thermoworks probes trying to push it through the rubber plug in my Shirley's probe port. The probes are always difficult to install and the rubber plugs had hardened with use.

I contacted Paul Shirley about where I could get new plugs and he helpfully pointed me to Home Depot.

So I bought brand new, pliable plugs. However, I am not going to install them. I will keep the old ones in place as "plugs" when I am not using the probes. I put probes through the the new ones and will leave them there. When I want to use probes, I'll pull out the old ones and use the new ones with the probes pre-installed.

No more broken probes!
