How ya liking the blackstone? I saw them on sale at Costco the other day
So far liking it, but it's like any other cooker. There's a learning curve. Understanding temp control to get the right result takes a little time. Conductive cooking on a griddle can cook things REAL quick. I was toasting buns before the burgers and scorched the crap out of one of them (luckily we had a spare). Been learning to dial back the heat to get things right. 

But I felt like I absolutely nailed it with the smash burgers. Great crust, proper finish temp, perfect...

I decided to be adventurous and consult ChatGPT for a recipe for a spicy green apple sauce to go on pork chops. It spit one out and it was damned tasty. It seems like whatever type of recipe you ask for, it will provide. I didn't query it to see where it stands on beans in chili yet.

I grilled ribeyes yesterday. I needed thyme for when I made the oxtail, but Kroger was out of thyme, so I got a couple of those packs of "roasting herbs" that had thyme in it as well as sage and rosemary. Still had the other leftover herbs, so I cooked them in butter for 20 minutes or so then basted the ribeyes with the butter (and corn on the cob). Good!

I'm thinking of trying to use this as an excuse to learn to make empanadas (I've never done so but handheld meat pies are always a winner lol), but swapping in either leftover smoked pulled pork or brisket. 

Have you ever done empanadas?

I'm gonna try this one for sure.

The 1-Ingredient Upgrade for the Crispiest Roasted Potatoes (msn.com)
I've done the basic version of that a few times and it always comes out great.

I've made them a few times. I think I used a recipe from a Rick Bayless cookbook. Once you get the dough figured out you can fill them with almost anything.

Do you bake or fry?

I've done both. Frying is optimal but a pain in the ass. The air fryer is good.
