What's Cooking?

Variables: dough and leavening ratio; liquid volume; cook heat and time; dumpling oil content.

For years everyone used Bisquik. I may need to reverse engineer here.

 

I saw this dumpling recipe and technique a while back. I thought I’d try it, but if you figure something out let us know.

It's not so much what's cooking as how or rather on what...  I got this Blackstone flat top grill for my birthday in April. 

Since then I've learned to absolutely love it.  Great fried rice, breakfast of every description - hash browns, bacon, sausage, eggs any way you like them pancakes you name it.  Of course great hamburgers and the best quesadilla I've ever made.  Heats up fast and is very controllable for different temp on the two sides of the grill that are independently controlled.  The front of the grill is never very hot and works well for keeping things warm while cooking something else.  Used it this morning for the sausage crumbles and the scrambled eggs while doing the tortillas for breakfast quesadillas.

Super easy clean up and cooking is a breeze.  Totally non-stick now.  It's never had a grill stone on it and I can't see ever needing one.  Has a nice water proof cover.  I throw a couple of empty cans on the grill before covering to keep the cover from touching the grill and allowing condensation to form and get a little rust going.

This is the smaller "portable" model - but I would not want to move it very far without help.  Even without the propane tank it's 80+ pounds.  Plenty big for us but for a really big crowd the larger 3 burner model might be better.

I've always liked cooking outside and this just makes it so much the better.  So if any of you good people on here are even considering something like this, I give it a five star recommendation.

I've been making onion smash burgers on a skillet and that thing would be a game changer for it....

@Terrierman Looks well seasoned and sounds like a great flat top! I would love to work with a flat top when making breakfast. Really is the best way to cook everything to be able to serve at once. So when can I bring the family over 😁?!?

When will you be in the area?  We'd love to have you here.

Correct.  And you can toast the bun at the same time.😎

Last night I used leftover roasted chicken to make chicken and dumplings. I tried out a new dumpling recipe. It was tasty but a bit dense and dry.  I will fiddle until I get the fluffy and moist that is my target.

 

Looks phenomenal

Dang just had fried Sucker, Mushrooms and Polk greens.

Don’t get much better than that.

My wife goes back to work won’t have it so good.
