So we survived the first week of the New Year! How is everyone doing? No nukes yet and all my trees are still standing. I’m stocked up with supplies and ready for the next round of rain. I hope you are too. It’s going to be wild tomorrow morning.
Part of hunkering down is cooking (at least while one still has gas/electric). Today, eye of round is on the menu for me. (RSVP?) I realized I didn’t have a baking rack so I googled how to get around that. During the search, I hit upon this little gem of a video (less than 2 minutes) that I’ve posted below about making your own kitchen tool.
I usually make bacon in the oven, on a cookie cooling rack, with tinfoil covering the bottom of the pan. After cooking, I can let the pan sit until the grease hardens and throw away the tinfoil to make clean up easier. But I always needed to soak the rack to get all the cooked bacon off of it.
You will never want bacon cooked any other way. I think you’ll thank me if you’ve not already tried cooking bacon this way at home.
So here’s the ingenious video I came across today that solves the cooling rack problem. Voilà!
If you’re curious, I solved the problem of needing a baking rack for my roast by wadding up tin foil in uniform balls and placing in them in the bottom of the pan to set the roast on top of.
BTW, Costco has very good prices on double packs of eye of round. It is an inexpensive cut of meat, but if cooked properly, it’s quite delicious. You know it as delicatessen style roast beef.
Bon Appétit, bacon buddies. And stay *high* and dry this weekend.
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
