Making a Flower Pot Grill

You can spend days trying to find the perfect cooking grate for your flowerpot and end up placing a single burger patty on it, one at a time. Or you can choose the smart path and go with kebabs for your flowerpot cookout. A 10 inch flowerpot grill can hold three good sized kebabs and cook them in about 10 minutes. Since you have the pot handy your guests can take turns grilling up a wide range of foods (over the course of two hours) when the flowerpot grill remains hot.

I said that you needed two saucers for each pot but I haven't told you what to do with that second saucer yet. When you are done cooking on your flower pot grill, place the second saucer on top of the pot to extinguish the fire. Warning: Do not pour water into your flowerpot grill. The sudden shock of cold can break the pot, making a very big mess.

Most of all have a good time.

Making a Flower Pot Grill

For a single 10 inch flower pot grill you will need 12 to 14 standard charcoal briquettes. They must be already burning when they go into the pot. So you need something to light the charcoal in and also a way to move the hot coals into the pot.

What works best for this task is a charcoal chimney, since this is a quick and easy way to light charcoal. Light the briquettes and with a pair of tongs transfer the burning hot coals into the flowerpot on top of the sand. The coals do not have to be completely ready (white and ashy), but at least hot and burning.

Transportation Problem: Moving a hot flowerpot grill, heavy with sand and burning coals, can be difficult and dangerous. However, filling a flower pot with burning hot coals sitting on a table can also be dangerous. You can choose to do either. I tend to fill the pots on the table and try not to move them too much. I fill the pots with the tables clear and everyone at a safe distance. Use a pair of good tongs to pick up the coals one by one to place inside the pot.

You need a single layer of coals in your pot. Do not over fill them because the excess heat can cause your pot to crack or break.

Making Pulled Pork Tamales

Once you get the hang of rolling and folding your tamales you will find it gets going very fast. Make sure you have everything ready to go, a good helper and all the ingredients laid out so you can work quickly.

Start with a corn husk leaf laid out flat on a clean surface. Depending on the size of the corn husk, place about two tablespoons of the masa dough on the corn husk and spread it out evenly. You want to leave about a pencil's thickness clear around the edges. The masa dough should be evenly distributed.

Making Pastrami

Making your own pastrami is an easy thing to do if you have a smoker and you start with a store bought corned beef. The result is a wonderful pastrami that you flavor and smoke to your own liking. This is a great thing to throw on the smoker when you are smoking something else because it doesn't take a lot of time or space. So start making your own pastrami, get something wonderful, and save yourself some money.

Making a Halibut Packet

Adding?Moisture

Making a Halibut Packet for the Grill - Step Four

Making a Halibut Packet for the Grill - Step Four

Derrick Riches

Despite the fact that the packets are sealed and that all the moisture from the fish is being held inside, it still needs extra moisture. It is this moisture that is going to steam food all the way through. This steam evenly distributes the heat and makes your packet an efficient cooking machine. Here I am using a simple mixture of lemon juice, melted butter with garlic, oregano and a little white wine.
