I have been loving those Hasselback Potatoes so much, but I wanted to have a plain old baked potato. Easy and good! Wash potato and rub with olive oil. Put Kosher Rock Salt on a plate and roll the potato around in it. I cooked on low for about 50 minutes. Took it to...

OK, getting closer to perfection! For this cook I cooked on high the entire time. I used the upper shelves, but next time I will try the bottom. Dried wings uncovered in the refrigerator overnight. Then dried them off with a paper towel. A light coat of Olive Oil,...

My first pulled pork on the BESRG and it was AWESOME! The dry rub that I used had way too many ingredients, so I won’t waste my time posting them. I will search for something more simple next time. Also for this cook I could not have picked a windier day. So the...

First ribs on the Big Easy were awesome! First I peeled the membrane from the backside. (Margo had already cut these in half before I started). I then cut a slit in between the first and second rib for the hanger. Hung them on the basket (meat side towards the...

This was my first cook on the Big Easy SRG. And while it was not perfect, it was AWESOME! Leave the bone in and leave the fat on. Salt heavily and leave in refrigerator for a least a couple of hours. Let it sit out and warm before cooking. At least 2 hours. So after...

We love soups and chili in the winter. We started looking for a soup that was like the Zuppa at Olive Garden. We felt that it needed to be “kicked up a notch” as Emeril would say! So we kept looking until we came upon this spicier version! Margo mixes half...

I never had kabobs before Margo. Now I can’t get enough of them! The nice thing is that you can put anything on them that you have or like. We used to put Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce on them towards the end. It was OK, but I always thought that something else...

The perfect steak is different things to different people. To me it is rare and juicy on the inside and a little charred on the outside. I am shooting for a reverse seared steak. For this try I used a rib eye. Margo will only eat filet, so I may have to adjust when...
