The low and slow thing is also called a reverse sear.
J Kenji Lopez says it's the best way:
If your meat thermometer is fucked though :\
Whenever I've done a rib in steak I've just cooked it in a pan and then in the oven though.
You'll have to give that thing some bananas at some point, if he's saying 3 hours for 800g (in his pro oven) then it'll take about three days for Godzilla you have there and still be raw in the middle (although some people seem to like it that way).
I don't think my oven can get down to a low enough temperature to actually follow his guidance, so it'll probably be in at minimum fan 80 (maybe non fan 80). I have a new probe thermometer though so I think I'll just stick it in at about 10.30 and wait until the probe says it's done.
Call that a steak?!?!?

Worked out alright. Think the oven was a bit high so even though it took about 4 hours to hit 52 degrees it probably got there a bit quick, and searing something that big is a bit tricky even in a big pan (I didn;t think it would fit in a grill pan but in hindsight it may have). Also Kerridge's "it's slow cooked so don't bother resting it" line was a crock of shit but hey-ho, it was still nice. *blood alert for Jimmy*

Slurry potatoes were probably a best effort yet as well, although no pics of them.
That looks great.
Looks great to me.
It's great for pink people, which I'm not but the outside's stunning.
And a massive sausage for the littlun.

You should have cooked it.
I had some essential business in London today, so I went to Bleecker and had a fantastic burger. Really top, top stuff.
Accidentally opened a can of condensed milk instead of the caramel version this morning. Is it used for anything else or is it just for the bin now?
Use it to make a Borracho style coffee - espresso, condensed milk, some sort of liqueur/liquor (43 if you have it but I'm sure you could stick most things in there).
It'll keep for weeks in the fridge. Add it to coffee/tea, drizzle it on some fruit...actually, mix it with some dried coconut and bake it for macaroons
I don’t even like milk in my coffee but I’ll hold on to it in case (heaven forbid) we have visitors over the Christmas.
Pigs in blankets: store bought or home assembled?
Neither. Go to the butchers. Best of both worlds.
Gah. It's the time of year once again to bite my lip and try not to push the most controversial of all my held opinions.
I tried the condensed milk in a coffee. Was woeful until I added some Coole Swan and Jameson.
He's an anti-blanket man isn't he?
A true deviant.
I do like pigs in blankets, but as with all this stuff, if they were as great as everyone makes out we wouldn't just have them at Christmas. It's not as if you can only get sausages and bacon at Christmas.
Got a Double Big Mac on the way. YOLO

I want one of those kfc gravy burger things.
The Gravynaise is an abomination.
Does that mean the sauce is cold?
The gravy won't be. They do Gravynaise as a dip and I think it's in some of the burgers too. It's terrible.
Is it not the peppery one like the yanks have? I love that.
KFC gravy is the one.
Used to have it on my Christmas dinner but for some reason the tradition has died off.

There's some expose article on KFC gravy knocking about today as if we didn't all know the secret ingredient was pig's diarrhea.
The best gravy’s use dried pigs blood, which tastes amazing.
KFC Gravy is great as long as it comes thick enough. It's been too watery on occasion.
But this shit:
Is to be avoided at all costs.
Oh yeah that gravynnaise thing looks horrendous. On the ad I seen they were putting the actual gravy on the burger.
That does looks great.
I saw that gravy 'expose'. They take shit out of the fryer and mix it with water. What did people think gravy was?
Supermacs have their festive burger out again here. From what I can see it’s a normal burger with some mushrooms added. That ever so festive of vegetables.
That doesn't look in any way good. The cheese isn't even melted. Is it that pre sliced edam shite you get in supermarkets? Leerdammer or whatever it is.
It’ll be every corner cut knowing that McDonagh fucker that owns it.
Brands using that heart eyes emoji about their own product should be closed down and the social media manager summarily executed.
Isn't that just a mushroom double swiss which I'm fairly sure is (was?) a big chain burger (Burger King?)?
Hardee's isn't it? Or they definitely had a similar one.
Made Korean fried chicken bao and a mushroom risotto with chicken, pickled mushrooms and chicken and tarragon sauce.
Dessert to come.
Are they slices of carrot? Both look class.
Yeah pickled carrot
