Grilled thick pork chop, served with steamed Brussels Sprouts and carrots in butter.

Wings in the Speedi with steamed Brussels sprouts in butter. When I first did wings in the Speedi, I had put the tray in the high position. Later I discovered the manual said it should be in the low position and I switched to that. I haven't been very happy with the crispness so I switched back to the high position. Much better! So 22 minutes at 450F on steam crisp - 1/2 cup water. Start with wings skin side down, flip at 11 minutes then baste with BBQ sauce for the last two minutes.

They do make screw top adapters that work well. Uses a membrane that self heals, not unlike a vial used for injectables. I haven’t had an issue with aggregate corks. What it doesn’t work with is artificial corks. I had a corker left over from my winemaking days, so I use that to replace artificial corks with real corks. If you’re quick not enough air gets in to make a difference. I used to shoot some argon in after removing the artificial cork, but now I don’t bother.
