Shop has become a kitchen annex

My meager shop has become a kitchen annex this holiday season. We used a propane torch to brown a roast a few days ago. This allows cooking at a very low temp - under 200 deg - so the whole thing can be cooked, say, medium rare, rather than just the center. It made a huge difference. Who knew?

Yesterday we cracked beef bones to make a "roux" for beef wellington. Those bones were the toughest material I've dealt with for ages.

I suppose the cleaning tank will be useful once the cooking's done.

Merry Christmas!
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS, John!!! :savewave:
 
For our next lesson, we'll be covering <span style="font-style: italic">Cooking on the Exhaust Manifold.</span> :laugh:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, John!

Under-equipped for sure!

I do have a horizontal bandsaw that I use for bar stock but these bones were already cut. We just needed to crack 'em. At least that's what the recipe said.

Re the exhaust manifold cooking - In addition to the book TRMark mentioned you might want one of these ovens. If you have a Model T.
