Shrimp, with the Nashville hot with the chicken on the run breading. Pretty freaking delicious!

Jonathon That looks scrumptious! What about a little sauce or did the main effect completely do the trick? It looks great, perfect searing.

JoeB Thanks! I used to run a USDA processing shop here in Helena. Been processing my own meat products for 45+ years now.
Steve Winscot Wow your talent shines and is obvious in your product. Been to Helena MT. Did a little gold panning. Great place. Nephew was a phlebotomist for red cross. Thank you for sharing … Joe

Steve Winscot That part of Montana is a wonderful place to be. Got an extended inspection assignment in Great Falls about 7-8 years ago & really enjoyed that part of the country. I could really live there. The country was great, the people were great, everything. I was there just as Summer was turning to Fall & I did not realize it could get that hot there, then of course the temps could drop pretty well too. Loved it though, no humidity amongst many other things.

Born and raised in montana, traveled the country but couldn’t leave the mountains. We do have wild weather, snow in the morning, sunburn in the afternoon.

The wife picked up some boneless skinless chicken breast and wanted me to do something healthier with them. So I made a salad.

GWG8541 Please id your fryer. Looks good on the stove top. What is the make, and is it low maintenance… I have 2 but never thought about setting one on the stove top… Always counter top

Steve Winscot what is the recipe for getting it all together after you chop up the ham
gus4416 I use trimmed pork sirloin soaked in ham cure for the specified time rotating daily, soak it out for 2-3 days rotating it daily so it isn’t too salty, grind and add sure gel binder, about 3 ounces per 25lbs, and high temp cheese. Stuff into red bologna casing and then into the smoker.

Steven Winscot That’s one heck of a day’s work.

calldoctoday You’re correct on that part of Montana. Had various trips up there and if you can’t make it to Alaska, that area is it’s kissin’ cousin. Pictures just do it justice.

JoeB its a Sam’s club purchase from years ago. I believe it was branded as a “Emeril” fryer (the chef). I put it on the stove so its directly underneath the kitchen vent, which works out well. Yes its fairly low maintenance. After the oil cools, you turn the knob on the front and the oil self stores in the bottom of the unit. The frying pot removes and can be placed in the dishwasher, although I hand wash. Its the first plug in I’ve owned, and we don’t fry allot, but I’m glad I bought it.

GWG8541 thanks. Looks good. I’ll look it up

Celebrating positive results at the eye doctor and regular doc (including the loss of 7 lbs since last visit). Time to add a couple ounces back by making Pierogies stuffed with my polish sausage/kraut, warmed up with onions and mushrooms in a bourbon/beer based sauce. Not as elegant as others here today. But, needed to have some comfort eats.

GWG8541 I have the same thing. I got three of them years ago, but I don’t think Sam’s had them when I got them. I believe we got them at a department store. We were happy with them for several months, but not now. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the drain setup & oil storage container, especially when we still had the garage refrigerator & they still look brand new to this day. However, the electronics part went out on all three & they want as much as a new unit (I think they were about $150 each) to repair it. The containers, oil vat, main housings & all look brand new so that was sad as I could not find any other way to get parts & repair them myself either. I even wondered if there was some way I could do some sort of “make fit deal” using something different, but never figured that part out. So, we just went back to a cast iron Dutch oven on the stove or the outside gas burner. Not as neat & nifty & certainly not as convenient. But, it does the trick & holds the heat real well. You could not ask for better there. I thought about getting one of those deep V Cajun fryers, but thought I might be back in the same boat as with the Emeril’s. How long have you had yours? A long time I am gathering. So it sounds like we must have got the only three lemons in the batch.

zbigjeff Congratulations on the results, keep up the good work. That is a good reward I see there.
