Had a doctor’s appointment yesterday that ran long so I couldn’t do my chicken when I got home.. too tired. Tonight I took the chicken from the marinade bag and positioned it on the spit. It took some finagling to get it to be somewhat balanced but I finally got it okay and set my timer for 60 minutes. This is a big 5.5 lb. chicken so it will have to go a bit longer I’m sure. I’m nearby and watching and listening to be sure it’s turning okay.

I have this Breville that I purchased 10 years ago. i also have this much smaller Braun which is no longer made. The Breville has a big footprint and is difficult to store but if it’s used every day that shouldn’t be an issue. iThe Braun is a nice size and works very well for a few lemons and limes but wouldn’t be useful for anything much bigger. In summer when I just lots of citrus I keep the little Braun handy. The Breville I stored away due to its sheer bulk. I think the big Breville, which is very efficient would work really well for lots of oranges....it’s made to last.

Yes there is a drip pan. The IR is built into the sides. I’m so impressed so far with the lack of mess and odor, plus it cleans up in the sink so easily. I have great expectation for the roti chicken. Hope to post some pics.

I unboxed and set up my new rotisserie today and plan to do a chicken on it tomorrow. This evening I’ll prepare the marinade and have it all ready. I’ve been impressed with how little grease and mess there is and no lingering odors in the the kitchen. Mine is definitely a keeper. Eager to try some Sous vide meats next.

This IS hard. 1.. Red wine 2.. German sausages 3. German beers 4. Potato (in any form) 5. dark chocolate 5. Beef tenderloin steak 6. Good Mayo (a bow to Ina) 7. Roast chicken (a bow to Jeffrey) 8. Onion 9. Rye bread 10. Poached egg 11, Grapefruit and lime

As I nearly always do, I caved to the enabling here and ordered the Joule (on sale at Amazon for $159+ change) along with the Everie container. Delivery comes Monday. Can't wait to try some beef. A couple of years ago I tried the Anova and just didn't like the whole process, gave it away. Now I'm psyched to try again after seeing the photos here and hearing about how well it works.

My first protein on the PAG was underwhelming. Not because of the grill but I suppose I chose the wrong meat. The skirt steak was so freaking tough I couldn't even cut into it. I've never cooked this type steak before and probably should have marinated it. I just used steak seasoning. The grill itself performed beautifully and didn't even get very dirty. One thing; the wire grill was missing from the box. Called W-S and they immediately shipped out a replacement to me without any angst whatever. Their customer service is excellent. I'll have to think up something else to try tonight. Maybe a porkchop.

I'm tired just reading your list. 🙀

That's disappointing to hear. I don't sous vide so at least my proteins won't have that to compare it with. My unit didn't appear until almost 9:00 last night so I had to improvise a different meal. Today I'll have time to unpack and set it up so I can try it out with my skirt steak.

@mgaretz My PAG is arriving today. Will be doing skirt steak with asparagus. Now I wish I'd gotten some butternut squash, yours looks so good.

Picked up my grocery order curbside earlier today. Lucky for me the skirt steak was back in stock but no wine! Montana no longer allows alcohol to be purchased online even though you have to agree to an ID check. That’s really unfortunate and If I have to go inside to buy my beer and wine I may as well get all my groceries then and save the ‘courtesy charge’. I hope this will change, it’s not good for me or the merchant.

I had skirt steak in my grocery order but it appears to be out of stock now. I’m hoping it will be available soon, my PAG Is due to arrive Wed. or Thurs.

Dinner:: roast chicken, Stovetop stuffing, Ocean Spray canned whole cranberry sauce, and slow Coker sweet potatoes.

I’ll bite. Tell us.

I have skirt steak and asparagus in my grocery order. The PAG is due to arrive on Wednesday. Yay! I have a feeling it’s going to change my way of cooking.

My Mom's signature dessert was banana pudding...the real thing. She would make it in the giant yellow Pyrex mixing bowl (you may not be old enough to remember that set of bowls that went from blue to yellow in increasing sizes. Shown here. It was also our favorite dessert.

Me too. Once, when I sent my Cuisinart food processor back to the company for repair (I'd dropped it on my tile floor and broke the spindle off), I got pretty snotty with the Customer Service Rep (who was witless). It took months and several phone calls to ever get it returned.
