I may not need gadgets, but as a man, I must have them. Perhaps not as much as some men must, but the need is there. It is in the DNA. Speaking of which, what is this laser temperature gun of which you speak? Is it exactly what it sounds like? You point it at the slab o' meat, pull the trigger and get an instant temp read? I have seen such devices, but dismissed them because I do not understand how they work. Do they work? I must know!

My gadget guru is AB - Alton Brown. He uses one on Good Eats. He also has the cutest damn spritzer I've ever seen - the spray comes out of a little dino-head - T-rex, I think...

Alton Brown is the man. His is the recipe (slightly modified) that I use when I make beef jerky.

» gdobson720 - guess what I found!!


Ok, so your article prompted me to take a look in that box in the back of my utensil drawer, and I found some interesting (?) things. Like a butter pat slicer... and some kind of squeezer... and a mushroom brush/knife. Guess it's time to put together a donation box - unless, that is, another gadget addict might want these things? (Sorry, I don't mean to be enabling, just part of my nature, wink, wink.)
