In the works....

There's always lots to do here at Gracepoint Berkeley and I tend to juggle different ideas/topics in my head about future posts, but I never really get the time to really develop them. I thought it might be nice to post what I'm currently thinking about and you can submit feedback through comments.

1. Formula or chart for roasting. The #1 question I get through text msg, emails, and phone calls goes something like this: "how long should I cook a 10lb roast and at what temp?" A lot of times it's a guess or I draw back to a time when I done something similar and I realize how useful posting information like this could be. It's kinda tricky and there are so many things to account for. I've been wrapping my brain on this one for a couple of months.

2. Turkey write up. I've been wanting to post turkey stuff and what I learned this past thanksgiving. Still need to get around to this.

3. Turkey/chicken suspension system. I'm thinking of a novel approach to roasting turkey. I'm taking a few existing products and incorporating some theories to produce some juicy birds. Preview: I'm thinking of doing a reverse rotisserie.

4. Injections and seasonings. A new experiment I want to try is the efficacy of milk injections into beef to maintain juciness in medium to well done roasts

5. New recipes. I have some stuff backlogged but it's been lower priority lately. I'm looking into some tri-tip recipes, smoke infused meat, gelatin injected meat, salads, dressings, roasts.

Merry Christmas
