Found an 8 oz delmonico in Shop n Save, so that was my next experiment.
Online recipes I found said 5 minutes on each side... 5 on one was way too much char on the one side so I went 3 on the other. Ended up being thin so it came out medium-well in the middle but was still tender enough that it wasn't completely ruined.

Tried making one of those French toast egg sandwiches that seem to be the rage at the moment. You pour the egg into the pan, dip the bread in the egg and then set it on top. Cook it for a bit, flip everything together, add your fillings and close the sandwich.
Not a fan, but it was neat making one.

Well the thing with Delmonico us that it could be a different cut so I'd stray from using any set recipe/timesFound an 8 oz delmonico in Shop n Save, so that was my next experiment.

I'm not quite at the point where I can figure out the difference and eyeball doneness

In my experience once it looks done you cooked it too long

Do you know the palm of your hand tricky thing? I use that. Hasn't steered me wrong yet

The only foolproof method of knowing doneness is a thermometer. Anything else is a guess.

A Quaker Steak and Lube is opened up in Bensalem on Monday and has takeout available. I am annoyed I just found out about it. I know it won't be as good as I remember it, but I'll take any possible chance to reminisce.

Convection can regular oven? What’s the difference and do I need to adjust times, temps, etc?
Cooking and Dining
You have three options, but you aren't going to know what's best for your specific oven until you try them.
- Same temp, shorter time
- Same time, lower temp (most people drop 20-25 deg F)
- Shorter time and temp
There's no hard and fast rule here, as everything is dependent on the combination of actual temp inside the box, how big the fan is (and how many of them there are), how much air is getting circulated, etc. The deviations on each metric are going to be unique to your oven, so now's the time to whip up a batch of cookie dough and practice. (My oven tends to deviate by about -15F when the convection fans are running. You may want to do some Googles specific to your oven.)
Those are the adjustments you'd make for using convection, so just reverse the logic for not using the fans.

Our Samsung convection automatically lowers the temp by 25F. But you have to know whether the food you are cooking can be cooked via convection or not. I’m usually too lazy to look it up so sometimes have to lengthen the cook time.
Cooking and Dining
I usually just cook anything I want crispy, on convection at the same time and temp. Like French fries, or a meatloaf (not crispy so to speak, but forgiving)

I know most itt are pork of beef heads, but I’m not sure there’s much I enjoy more than grilling a whole chicken. Spatchcocked of course. We had that last night. Lemon and herb was the flavor of the evening.

Sourdough starter begins this evening... picking up the rye flour for it this afternoon and getting it going. Looking forward to some sourdough pizza crusts.

24 hours in to the starter:
Lots of yeasties.... I'm excited for this. Apparently the yeast that dominates is what is on the flour when you get it rather than captured from the air. The rye flour that I'm using for this came from Burnt Cabins Grist Mill, so it's yeast of down closer to my home. Interested to see how it turns out.

my favorite thing I learned during quarantine is how sourdough bread is made with the starter and that some people have starters that are really f*ing old and have cool stories
