Meat meat meat...

Postby Paphitis » Mon Mar 19, 2018 6:15 am

Huge steaks, lamb chops, Beef Roasts, chickens, KFC, fish and lots of shell fish.

And of course, I know how to cook. lot's of blood soaked steaks everywhere dripping in their succulent juices could nice and blue, rare or medium rare at the most.

It's about the protein, even I though I take some supplements and other cutters too.

Just a tiny amount of carbs for energy.

Happy Easter everyone. :D

Does anyone want to know how to get a good crackling?

An adult koala eats between 200 to 500 grams of leaves each day. Koalas eat mainly eucalyptus leaves (gum leaves). Occasionally they will eat the leaves from some other native Australian trees, and they also use certain trees just for resting in. Koalas live in tall open eucalypt (gum tree) forests.

Eating meat will cause clogging of your arteries
Plus: Eating red meat greatly increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes
Meat is full of harmful hormones
Also: the animal cruelty factor is sickening (but as a Cypriot you probably give a f&¤k about that)

I'd rather suggest that you befriend Milti and share his catch of the day from the pier

Sure do! Does it involve removing the skin and cooking it separately?

You need to start preparations one day ahead. Criscross the rind carefully (not into the meat itself), halfinch or little wider
Put it in a deep pan, brine it with salty water (2% - 20g each liter) and keep it chilled for 12hours+.
Roast it at 130C untill core temperature reach 65C, then increase heat to 250C for approx 30 mins (depending on size)
Let it rest 30 mins before serving

If this fails, get one of these:

Yikes!

Thanks for that info. Cancer and Diabetes dosn't sound good.

Are you sure about Diabetes? Didn't think red meat or high protein causes Diabetes. Carbs and sugars do.

I am a very active guy though and right now at pretty close to peak fitness. I feel like I am still in my early 20s because I feel healthy and strong and have a very low body fit index. Which means my arteries won't clog up, right?

This is the way I do it on pork belly. I get a sharp serrated knife and cut the shin in a square grid and apply some butter and olive oil. Then slow cook on 170 degrees,

Interesting.

Yes I crisscross the rind, but this is excellent stuff. Thanks again.

I'm gonna give that a go. :D
