The Cook’s Kitchen

It’s been a good week over at WhiteTrash BBQ. Not only did a leg of American lamb find it’s way to my grill, but my friends over at Charbroil sent a huge care package of barbeque tools and accessories for me to try out. There were so many toys in the package that this boy’s […]

These things are just plain cute. I’ve used them in restaurants where you cook the food for yourself at the table. It’s fun and seems like it would be great for a party. Chop up some veggies and slice some proteins and give everybody the opportunity to make up their own meals.

It comes with a stainless […]

With the barbecue and grilling season heating up here in Brooklyn, I recently stumbled across The Solar-Grill today. It’s an interesting concept, using the sun’s energy to cook your food. But in no way can you create BBQ or even grill on this piece of equipment. Basically you put your food into a metal tube […]

I recently was given the chance to try some Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauce.  There are a variety of sauces available:

Extra Mild Lemon Peri-Peri:  Initial fresh lemon aroma, followed by subtle Peri-Peri flavor that ends with a pleasant lingering mild heat sensation

What am I talking about?  Simply the most versatile thermometer I’ve ever had, the Thermapen, by Thermoworks.  I’ve gone through a drawerful of thermometers, and none have come close to the usefulness of my Thermapen. I use it not only for barbecued and grilled foods, but […]

About a month ago I started going to Index Restaurant Supply in the River Market area of Kansas City. Its a block West of Planters and a block North of the Farmer’s Market for those familiar with downtown Kansas City.  Cool place and they have everything you’d find in a restaurant. Open to the public. […]

Here’s another post from Get Your Grill On editor and publisher of the blog, WhiteTrashBBQ, Robert Fernandez. Today’s post finds Rob revisiting his quest for the ‘Golden Chicken’. Take it away, Robert….
I know it’s still February and there’s still snow on the ground here in Brooklyn, but I’m itching to get out and cook. I […]

A while back, The Hampton Smoker and I brought Paul Kirk, The Baron

The Baron taught us his secrets for developing our own rubs, or what […]

For the last several months, I’ve really been getting back into plank cooking. It all started a couple of days before Thanksgiving when a guy on the next bar-stool asked me if I was doing anything new and different for the big meal. My reply was “I always try to do something different, but it’s […]
