Banana Bread

-
My daughter found this recipe among my things. Some back story is in need though. Probably ten plus years ago, she found the recipe among my plethora of cookbooks and recipes and wanted to make the Banana Bread. I told her sure, but we never got back to actually making the recipe. Anyhow, since COVID-19, aka Wuhan Virus, we have been spending extra time at home, and since we love Bananas, we found our selves making Banana bread often. Since this writing, my daughter has this recipe at least 6x. In case you cannot read this recipe (don't know where it came from), I'll write it out for you. We are going to try the other recipe on the card soon. 

1.5 Cups of Sugar
2-Eggs
1-Tsp Baking Soda
1.75 cups of AP Flour
1-Tsp of Salt
1/2 of a neutral oil
1/2-Tsp Baking Powder
3 Very Ripe Bananas
1-Tsp of Vanilla Extract which I always add
1/2- of Water
(Optional Pecans)
In a large bowl mash, the bananas using a potato masher and add other wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl- Mix Dry-Ingredients into one bowl and set aside. Mix both and pour it into your baking vessel. The inside of the pan I used measured 11 x 5 x 2 7/8. Bake at 300f for 60 minutes. Convection  275f for 55-60 minutes.

Curing Notes and some Math

(OP-2016) I wrote this up to help you with some of my recipes. I hope these notes and links expand your knowledge of curing.  My recipes are straightforward to follow if you use the info given below. Replicating my recipes is possible because I use percentages for everything. The weight of meat plus fat is 100%, and all ingredients to be added are expressed as a percentage of the weight of the meat plus fat.  Percentages can be used to standardize recipes regardless of batch size, and all weights are metric. An online calculator is provided below.  No weights are given because the weights of meats vary. Again everything is a percentage of the meat's weight after trimming. Here is an example- Meat weight,  2393  grams, and we want to find out the amount of salt we need in grams-  2393 * 3.5%=83.755 or 2392/100 * 3.5 =83.755 grams. Or 2393 * .035 = 83.755 For most of my recipes, I use  .25%  c...

Eye-of-Round (Sous-Vide)

EYE OF ROUND- EOR  (OP- 5/2017)I've been wanting to do this for a while but prefer other cuts for roast beef (I still do). Anyhow, after reading all the pontificating posts on E-O-R, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After making about 5 of these E-O-R's, I have dialed in what I believe is the perfect temp and time.  The T/T was selected because it provides the highest moisture retention, texture (tenderness) for slicing using a Deli-Slicer. If you plan on slicing by hand or wanted to slice very thick to serve as an entree it might not work. The E-O-R will be cooked at 128f for 24 hours and sliced on my Berkel Slicer.  (Disclaimer located at the bottom for T/T). Note: The T and T are perfectly fine. The Log Reduction is exceeded 12.  If you plan on purchasing the E-O-R at Costco or another whole seller, I will suggest buying it cryo-vacuumed-sealed. If you don't, there's a possibility that it was mechanically tenderized. I'm not against...

Burnt Ends the Sous-Vide way!!!

-

  The King of BBQ Brisket is Burnt Ends. But what are Burnt Ends? Traditional Burnt Ends are from the point of brisket. Where I live, you rarely find a whole packer (whole briskets), and when you do come across one, you're usually not in the market for one. Yes, yes, I could buy one and freeze it, but I don't like to freeze the meat. So I decided to make Burnt Ends entirely from the flat. Burnt Ends are a delectable delicacy and are prized by many if not all BBQ enthusiasts. I actually prefer Burnt Ends to BBQ brisket. Sometime during the "cook," the whole brisket is removed, and the point is separated from the flat. Traditionally the point is cubed up and doused with more spices and smoked very low and slow for a couple of more hours, and sometimes BBQ sauced is added. Burnt Ends are typically served with a little char on them with some BBQ sauce on the side or in sandwiches. I recently attended a BBQ workshop, and t...
