    Lift Bowl Kitchenaid

    Mine is a Professional 5 Plus or something like that. Sourdough is not an issue. I think that I read that the Pro models have metal gears as opposed to the plastic gears on the other models. Mine has several years of heavy use on it without a whimper.

    New Sourdough Starter To Try

    Sounds similar to a Czech poolish/starter that my grandma used for SD rye bread. Cultured buttermilk has a lot of the same goodies in it that we develop in a regular starter.

    Turkey 3% salt water

    Bought some frozen 'young turkeys' from Sam's and they say that they are in a 3% solution of water and sea salt. Would you brine them? Smoke-frying them. Thanks

    Bread Again/Not SD

    Looks good and I like that pot. Just saw one on Marketplace that looked similar. I'm guessing that the acid in the vinegar gave it a little tang. I'm going to try that one. I love no-knead recipes!

    For You Bread Bakers

    No need for autolyse if using a high protein white flour like bread flour. Triple or quadruple the autolyse if using whole wheat or rye flours. I have found that using my Kitchenaid (until I can pull a windowpane) in lieu of all the S&Fs produces the same results. The rest of that looks pretty good.

    Pork Butt Finishing Sauce

    Are you thinking about an Eastern N. Carolina finishing sauce? ACV/apple juice/crushed red pepper? I use that a lot.

    UDS turkey gravy

    Yes, or even a little higher. My UDS caps out at around 350.

    UDS turkey gravy

    You are correct. At the temps that I use for turkey (300+) that pan will cook dry in no time. I use the neck, giblets, and wing tips to make my gravy on the stove.

    Brisket got too tender

    Foil boat after it hit 170. Wrapped in foil and brushed on a little tallow when I took it off at 204 and put it into the holding oven.

    Brisket got too tender

    Let a prime brisket get a little too done last night and it fell apart like a pot roast. Went to 204, cooled to 150 and then held at 150 for 8 hrs. Prime briskets often get probe tender at just under 200 for me. Tender, juicy, and delicious so I'm not complaining. It was just a bit of a...

    Here we go, Prime packer in the house.

    Yep, taking a prime brisket to 205 can make it as tender as a pot roast and quite a challenge to slice.
