Here we are with grilling season rapping us on the backs of the thighs with a greasy spatula.
Time to think of creative ways to deliver fiery peppers, oily cheese and sweet, sweet bacon.
I saw this on the Sur la Table site and I've gotta get me one: chile pepper grill rack and corer. At $20, this set is on the dear side unless you're going to be grilling lots of these things, but I think it's pure genius. As you don't have to batter and fry the little devils, it's a pretty tidy delivery system. Without the extra flour and grease, it's a slightly less guilty pleasure, but still a pleasure. After all, there is bacon inside. Yum!
Did I mention bacon? Did you notice this is two bacon posts in a row?
Sur la Table, by the way, is one of the most ossum cooking stores, evar. Evar. Evar. Every basic cooking item is there, along with lots of fabulous serving pieces. I have been seen there alternately slobbering and whimpering at the All-Clad display. Yummy! The store I visit is on the west side of the Knox-Henderson exit from Central Expressway in Dallas, but you can order from the web quite easily.
Yep, $20 is rather dear - but that is teh awesome. Drooling.

In the fourth paragraph, if you put a "p" in front of the "ossum", the para generates a completely different series of thoughts.
ReplyDeleteBut you knew that.
I'm not a pepper person, but the thought did cross my mind that zuchinni would substitute in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteYum!
Hmmm... looks pretty easy to make :-)
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow lover of all-clad, might I point you to http://www.cookwarenmore.com/ ? They purvey all-clad irregulars at some rather large discounts. Still carrying the AC name, the merchandise is still priced considerably above the WallyWorld special, but grabbing a handy example, a 12" chef's pan w/ lid from Sur La will ring in at $215. The same with a scuff, or a ding in the handle "only" dents the wallet by $145 at 'N More. If you catch a sale, you can score things for not *too* much more than WallyWorld's at that.
ReplyDeleteI've been shopping with Cookware N More for some years now, and every piece has been 100% functional, and in most cases, the "flaw" has been so trivial that you have to know where to look to find it. In the few cases where it is discernable at a glance, it gives me the option to make up a tale of kitchen derring-do, which is more fun anyway. "Oh, that? That's where someone tried to over-salt my dish and I broke his thumb so hard it dented the handle. So you might want to put the pepper down."
Must have one!!
ReplyDeleteWill the corer remove all the seeds I can't bear the heat of japs when the seeds are still there, any seeds at all.
