29064. Going to a potluck this weekend where we all bring food for the wood-fired oven. Ideas? - MariaDNoCA - 2:19am on 09/30/16 (7)

I love wood-fired artichokes - you split them down the middle, slather with some olive oil and - LisainLA - 6:07am on 09/30/16

That sounds delish!!! Do you pre-cook or do them completely in the wood oven? [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 6:16pm on 09/30/16

It wouldn't hurt to pre-steam them, they stay more moist that way. [NT] - LisainLA - 4:36am on 10/01/16

Well, these failed. Boo. I presteamed for 10mins, but they burnt on the outside and never cooked on - MariaDNoCA - 4:07am on 10/04/16

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. It seems the oven was too hot. - LisainLA - 3:35am on 10/05/16

Yes, but you might check the Cook's Illustrated recipe for pie dough that - Charley - 6:48pm on 10/02/16

I have that recipe and it's great, its just that I had some cream cheese left over and decided to us - oli - 7:19pm on 10/02/16

THEN you need to say you are making cream cheese pastry which is EXTREMELY - Charley - 10:39pm on 10/02/16

It did work as a double crust for my cherry pie - very good [NT] - oli - 7:41pm on 10/03/16

Check this link out, it might help. Scroll down for her two crust version. [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 8:55pm on 10/02/16

Oli, this is a good recipe- I have made it a few times. Works great for two crusts. [NT] - CathyZ from Kauai - 3:42pm on 10/03/16
Not very good result. Came out very dry and hard to roll out. Definetly - oli - 7:43pm on 10/03/16

oli, I've always had success making a cream cheese crust on this quiche recipe of mine. [LINK] - wigs - 2:06pm on 10/03/16

Yes, 350 for 2.5 hours. - Traca - 1:39pm on 10/03/16

Sez butt roast in recipe; looks like butt roast to me. (nt) [NT] - mistral - 4:44pm on 10/03/16

Recipe says, "1 three-pound bonless pork shoulder butt pork roast" - KarenNoCA - 5:12pm on 10/03/16

They are the same cut--one from one end of the shoulder and the other. Doesn't make - Charley - 6:04pm on 10/03/16

I'm guessing the blogger didn't copy the recipe exactly. I used butt. [NT] - Traca - 9:21pm on 10/03/16

oh, I had a *discussion* with a butcher when I was looking for a *pork butt* and he - MarilynFL - 6:08pm on 10/03/16

Looking on the web, there are two thoughts on this, some say it is the same cut, others say it is no - KarenNoCA - 7:10pm on 10/03/16

Two or three excuses for the name "butt" roast: - mistral - 10:01pm on 10/03/16

That is just too funny! I want to make this, I love the addition of herbs stuffed - KarenNoCA - 11:10pm on 10/03/16

Probably to differentiate between the butt and the picnic ham which are both part of the - Curious1 - 10:33pm on 10/03/16

I thought the picnic ham was one of those hams that came in the huge tin container? [NT] - KarenNoCA - 11:11pm on 10/03/16

NO. The important part when buying pork shoulder, FRESH pork picnic, butt, etc. IS - Charley - 12:45am on 10/04/16

And that Fresh Ham can be VERY lean and dry if you cook it wrong! (nt) [NT] - mistral - 12:33am on 10/05/16

This page from Steve Raichlen is a good explanation. About 7 paragraphs down. [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 11:44pm on 10/03/16

Picnics used to come plain like pork roast or cured as ham. I do remember canned hams called picnics [NT] - Curious1 - 11:50pm on 10/03/16

That was only for prep. I added a photo inside the oven. Pizza goes right on stone floor w/ peel. - MariaDNoCA - 4:38pm on 10/22/16

My friend also made them, he cooked ramen in miso, then floated the eggs on top. [NT] - Traca - 12:15am on 10/24/16

very creative! I would love to try that, but I ate the leftovers! I really enjoyed them! [NT] - barb_b - 3:10pm on 10/24/16

that's funny! Although I do love avocados in salad... but - SallyBR - 3:20pm on 10/26/16

I think cider vinegar would change the flavor considerably. Sherry is a bit more mellow, and - Traca - 11:08pm on 10/26/16

Had a big explosion... ;-( - SallyBR - 5:28pm on 10/25/16

no saran wrap. But I have had them explode but not so much as that and - Charley - 11:53pm on 10/25/16

How do you cover it loosely? (more) - SallyBR - 2:29am on 10/26/16

Put a saucer on top. Maybe poking the holes, but sort of "obviously" the cover - Charley - 1:52pm on 10/26/16

Ok, I am feeling brave. Will try the saucer on top today... [NT] - SallyBR - 3:19pm on 10/26/16

Tried again... 50% power - no explosions, all good, but overcooked the yolks - SallyBR - 6:14pm on 10/26/16

Can you use a clear glass plate (to view the yolk)? [NT] - MarilynFL - 7:16pm on 10/26/16

It gets pretty steamy in there (more) - SallyBR - 8:46pm on 10/26/16

Would a probe in the yolk work (ping at 160) or would that cause it to run? [NT] - MarilynFL - 2:12pm on 10/27/16

it would ruin the egg, I am afraid [NT] - SallyBR - 3:45pm on 10/27/16

There is something wrong here with that. I do it for 70 seconds full power - Charley - 8:08pm on 10/27/16

I used a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup - SallyBR - 8:45pm on 10/27/16

Another way to do it is in a canning ring in simmering water. Spray the ring - Charley - 11:44pm on 10/27/16
