pre-cooked brats stewing in beer are OK.
I just realised I've carried around a beer brat around for many years, until I switched to Stolichnaya and Kolbasa.
My new secret weapon is an infrared thermometer.
I've got one, too. They're great. My favorite use is for adjusting the burners under my griddle to get equal temperatures front and back.
Try the T-Fal pans. Cheap, better than Teflon, and they have a thermochromic spot in the middle to let you know when the temp is close to correct.
I know this is OT but Nez and Scott, how are your wives doing?
Everything is fine thanks, turned out to be minor and will just take a few weeks of no lifting.
That's a blessing - a cliche of course, but it's all too easy to take your health for granted - 'til it's not there
I've just received some terrible news . . .The store where I usually get my Brats well be closing this Sunday. I need to stock up. Do Brats freeze well? And so , for how long? This has hit me as a terrible shock. What should I do? I need to find another source. I'm beginning to shutter & shake all ready. Somebody help, please.
Yeah, they freeze well. Just bag them well to reduce moisture loss. (Freeze burn)
And my condolences.

Vacu-pac them that's what my son does but he does have a commercial vacu-packer. I think the cheap ones probably work well enough to help a lot with freezer burn.
And no concerns about sucking any liquid into the pump. Your son has quite the setup, hopefully that makes a solid basis for some wonderful family gatherings
Roomy bought one of those newfangled sous vide in-a-stick thingamajigs. Let's see if I can make a transcendental chicken Cobb salad tonight. 🙂

The problem is the sausage/pork diet is not exactly the best for your physique.

Of course it isn't, just as a water diet isn't either. But sausage/pork won't hurt anyone if present sometimes in their food intake. It depends very much on a lot of other things.

Does wonders for the soul though : )

Mine is almost done, just need to baste with butter and turn now and then.😀
Seriously, she came home yesterday after 12 days in the hospital. Lots of meds for at least the next 3 months. She lost a lot of weight and is weak, but her lungs and kidneys are better, and she is thankful to be getting good sleep in her own bed. It will be a long recovery but so far things look good, and I am glad to have her home.
Don't take what you have for granted fellas, things can change so fast...
I've got one, too. They're great. My favorite use is for adjusting the burners under my griddle to get equal temperatures front and back.
The infrared thermometer is useful for many things....
My electric stove is aging and the burners (solid, non-replaceable) take a long time to heat up. One has died, as long as I have one large and one small I won't replace it 😉 A bit like this one: http://www.chowstatic.com/uploads/2/4/9/1025942_image.jpg
Wish they still made these, all you can find are coil or glass-top ranges now.

I seriously like my cast iron better than any teflon pan I've ever used. I used a Bialetti non-stick for a while (my emergency pan) and stuff sticks to it.
About the only thing that seems to defeat any pan is egg-beaters 😉
What temp does the T-fal pan change color?
The T-Fal isn't Teflon, which is one of its beauties. Remarkably heavy for the price (12" pan was $30-35 from Amazon). I have All Clad stainless (which is great), but use this more.
Thermochromic transition is about 325 F.

I wonder why they are called T-Fal in North America but Tefal in their home market.
IDK they probably paid big bux to a Madison ave marketing/advertising firm for that.
