Great crust... but 1 minute a side seems long (to one who has never done it). How much more did they cook past medium?
The internal temp was 130F after searing.
Might have been 45 seconds per side—I didn’t use a timer. Worth noting that the steaks didn’t go straight from 120F sous vide to the grill—I dried them and waited about 30 minutes before finishing them.
I didn’t take a cross section shot, but you can kinda see the interior doneness near the edge here:

Yes, skirt steak. The fat made the end result wonderfully tender

OK
you fit 8 lbs in your Crock ?
yes, it fits—it’s just a normal size crockpot. I think this shoulder was 8.6lbs. If I get a bigger shoulder I’ll either cut in half and freeze the other half, or just save to grill/smoke on a weekend.- 1

Crockpot all day, then shredded, added additional seasoning (garlic, chili, black pepper, paprika, cumin) and crisped in oven. Easy weeknight cook.
Sometimes I’ll smoke it when I have a whole day, but crockpot + oven is the simple way.

@alwaysdrawing Nice price on the pork. Bone in? I am not a hair splitter but that looks like tasty pulled pork versus having crispy edges which I at least associate with carnitas. Either way I'd welcome your leftovers
I crisp the edges in the oven at 400 after pulling, but clearly not enough!and yes, bone in....$7.50 for an 8lb shoulder

I was referring to the final pasta thickness, but that is a minor, minor point. Joining with what @Shelby asked, how were you not satisfied? From the pictures everything looks beautiful and plenty good to me. Perchance did you spill a box of salt into the sauce? If so, we have a thread for that.
Always room to improve. I’d like to feel more confident about the process, and the noodles themselves could be made more uniform.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the result, but I’m always looking to get “the taste”. Being able to dial in the flavor, noodle thickness, texture to 100% my preference will just be a work in progress.

Looks pretty good to me, though I might have rolled the pasta thinner. I wish I had that plate in front of me right now.
the picture of the rolled pasta was intermediate after #1—it was rolled out to #4, which I think it about right.
overall, I’m hopeful I can continue to improve.
the end result was very tasty- 1

Made some hummus and shishlik with recipes and inspired by the Zahav cookbook
hummus right out of the food processor
shishlik with a marinade made of onion, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and oil
filet with the same marinade
veggies after cooking—cooked in the oven because I didn’t want to get out the grill. Would have been better over charcoalhummus topped with garlic, toasted pine nuts, olive oil and paprika
