Bread looks good. Don't feed your kids viennas. Rest looks meh, mushrooms and chicken an abomination. Worst is that you're claiming a braai in an oven.

fair comments.....have to say that the chicken, mushroom, onion and potato dish went down very well...first dish annihilated.
I hate those red viennas and next time will try with a Russian or Brockworst for more flavor...my kids normally never eat those red viennas but another parent brought them so I tried something different.

No matter what you think its a braai....charcoal is used as the heat source.....

Agreed. A braai should be open to the heavens so god himself can look down on what you're cooking (or in PissBroeks case burnt offerings).

Cool.....the point is not to show the machine but what you can do with a braai thats different....I understand.

Will keep these type of pics for an appropriate forum.

I am just bored with pics of meat...only so many pics you can do of chops and steak etc...You may have noticed I didnt even post a pic of the Steak

To improve that, cheaply, mix one packet of brown onion soup into 500ml (or double can't judge how big that pan is) cream and pour it over the top for the last 10-20 mins

Potato bake and cream is better than brown onion soup.
Even cream of mashroom would be better.
Fok brown onion x(

Quite commonly used in potjie. You must eat your onions Joe laddie, else your knees will turn inside out.

I agree. No need for braai-shaming. I admire Sard's methods, he knows more than I do about cooking, and the food looks good.

its fine lads...It is a bit controversial and not the typical Saffer braai methods so I agree that it should not be on this thread...I have removed as much as I can from this thread and the thing is.....

I am yet to see any burnt offerings from Sards. Bought in Pick & Pay ready made pizza, but no burnt meat.

Low and slow. First grilled it for 10 minutes each side until you browned it and then wrap it in thick tin foil for two hours.

Get it very dry and fine then take a piece of news paper and roll it in a joint. Maybe mix some papegaaitwak in.

I prefre brisket done low & slow in the oven. Much easier to control the temperature and keep the juices in the tray for dipping later.

Agreed with the oven, you will get the same result, but it is imperative that you browned it first. You have to seal the juices in, then wrap it and put it in the oven for several hours.

Heard Brisket is lovely by cooking for literally days at low temp via Sous Vide then several hours of smoking creating some nice rings.

Did pork chops last night...same old recipe. Remove the rind and slit along the length so it can crisp better. Braai-ed first and added the chop last so that it cooked as little as possible to keep it tender and the faintest hint of pink inside.

Have to say that they were the tastiest pork chops I have ever had. The crackling was crisp to the bite but dissolved in the mouth just leaving me awash with that salty fat taste. No chewy bits at all. The chops were juicy and tender and alive with the wood smoked flavour smothered in a creamy rich mushroom sauce. Of course with sweet corn , that long green cucumber like veg and baby carrots.

Ok the piece I have is a bit thin, so will look to sous vide then smoke after. Maybe a quick reverse sear to give it some bark.

Smoking snoek on the Weber was a great success. Might use a tiny bit more chips/shavings next time tho.

My speciality is a pot and I regularly do Oxtail

Chicken & Cream is very good but Seafood and Lemon Dumplings is literally unbeatable and takes about an hour.

I've been wanting to do a clams and cream pot for ever now. Getting good quality clams up here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Forget about fresh and frozen can get expensive when you have to chuck more than half a bag because they wont open.
