What exactly about this picture makes you want to try this DWags?

Was wondering the same thing. Also, no pics after cutting into the thing.

Will probably taste fine but that method for that cut is something you could not pay me to do.

To each his own, but I am of the opinion you eat as much with your eyes as you do with your mouth.

Besides the obvious it is not going to look very good IMO it just the wrong way to cook this cut of meat.  Yes, chuck roast - low and slow.  Prime rib is pretty much devoid of connective tissue and collagen - low and slow is not they way to go.

Too late. It’s done. I’m trying it. I’ll try anything once.

My wife takes the left overs tomorrow and makes unbelievable French dip. We’ve always tried different stuff. I agree with you as far as eating with your eyes. I also like a nice bark on it. That won’t happen.

I’ll also probably ruin one when I deep fry it this spring. But I’m trying it.

I'm with ya Wags - experimenting is fun.

Experimenting is fun, but experimenting on a nice piece of meat borders on criminal behavior.

I will. It will be around 8 tonight.

What are you using to monitor the internal temp?

Find it a little odd the recipe says 135 for M-R. I normally pull it at 125.

I’ll open the lid and shove a thermometer in.

Now, that's what I call "experimenting". Can put them in some of the pasties to try without screwing up the entire batch.

125 is generally considered rare, medium rare 130-135.  You will have some carryover but cooking at 190 degrees (slow cooker on low) I doubt you will have much, even on a large piece of meat.

That said, the old school thermometer pictured in that recipe is enough to make me think twice about trusting anything they say.



I do hope it turns out for you though DWags.

Supposedly, every time you remove the lid from a slow cooker you need to add 15 minutes to the cook time

There’s actually a hole in the lid.

Bump.

Had not noticed that before. My KitchenAid doesn't have that.

[pulling69]

Doesn't even look close to being done yet....Nowhere near as grey as the recipe pics.... I bet that thing is sitting at a warm 100-110 right now. Youll need to finish in the microwave for sure.

Flavored was good. Wine might have been over powering to me, but wife enjoyed it. Was tender and it looked alright when we cut it. It was gray on the outside with no bark. Addict is completely right, part of the eating experience is visual. Veggies in it were outstanding. I enjoyed it, but won’t do it again. I’m thinking the French dip sandwiches taste like wine tomorrow too. I did enjoy it, but wouldn’t recommend it. I will deep fry one now and be one experimenting with prime rib.

Very nice, if those are thick cut boneless pork chops. Hope you pulled them at 140.

MSU Popcorn Machine

Nah, I don't eat enough to justify one. I list them here when I see one because I know there was some interest.

[MSU addict]

FWIW, those two machines are quite similar, other than the paint job. Both are made in China and are a not the greatest quality, but would be fine for home use.

My guess on the one you linked would be an unbranded version of the Great Northern Popcorn Foundation popper. They are selling it with some 8oz premixed popcorn, but it looks like a 6oz kettle to me. They make that same machine in both kettles sizes, but again that looks like a 6oz kettle to me. It is probably smaller than you think - 15x17x24. You could put the 8oz packets in a 6 oz machine without much problem.

The MSU popper is a bigger cabinet.

New the auction machine goes for about $150. That popcorn goes for about $30 a case, but it looks like it has a best by date of January 2009. Which tells you the machine was also purchased around 10 years ago.

Nah, I don't eat enough to justify one.  I list them here when I see one because I know there was some interest.  

I only posted it here for the same reason.  It is a good deal at $140.  I only saw it because I recognized the one you posted as a Great Northern Machine and was looking on their website.  The auction one is probably 10 years old so I could not find an exact match.  I would be willing to bet it was an unbranded version of the Great Northern bought on eBay around 10 years ago.

The current bid is more than it is worth, IMO.

The pictures on the website are TERRIBLE for ID purposes.

The Spartan one is cool. Son #2's birthday is coming up, I should see if he wants one for his currently being created man/biker cave.

Both sons bought Harleys last summer so now they're creating a hangout. I'm not welcome there for now because I give shit about being gangsters. Lol.

My apologies, I posted a bad link earlier.

If anyone wants to buy the MSU popcorn machine:

If I did not already have a popcorn machine, I would buy that one.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

I'm considering buying it just because I like the way it looks and this one that Goose helped me buy is fairly used and beaten up. It would look much better in my basement.

Based on the price this one is at just drop yours off at the auction joint in Bay City the next time you go north and you'll get your $$ back.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

So msu addict, how does that thing compare to the CL2085 or whatever it is that I have from Sam's? I am damn tempted to buy it and donate the one I have to my kids elementary school.
