Not sure if it has been discussed here but does anyone use or have used a counter top convection oven to cook food in the past? Thoughts on it please since I am considering purchasing one.

I use this one.

It's really good for smaller meals and stuff if you don't want to crank up your oven. Just read the reviews to get a better idea on if it's what your looking for. I recommend it, but I am such a fucking cooking appliance whore that I must collect them all like they are pokemon.

Very nice.

I have a Nexus 7 and I'm looking for a recipe book app type thingy for it. Basically what I want to do is save recipes from the internet on web pages or ones from PDFs from Ebook cookbooks into the app. Also want an easy way to put my own in by importing some kind of text file or from typing it in the app itself. Anything like this out there? If so anyone have a recommendation on an app or combination of apps. Thanks.

The Kindle App works pretty well for this. You can email yourself word documents and have it convert to the kindle format. I also do PDF's this way, but sometimes the interface is a little clunky.

I use a dry rub

Ingredients:
1/2 cup salt*
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/4 cup granulated brown sugar
1 tbsp granulated garlic
1 tbsp granulated onion
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp thyme leaves
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground nutmeg

*I sometimes use 1/4 c salt.

Put the rub on a few hours before cooking. Delicious

Also did some wangs with the same rub

I spent the last few days watching the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares because of that video someone posted, some of those owners are complete idiots. Also, I can't believe they took man vs food off of Netflix.

When you apply your dry rub a few hours before putting it on the grill how do you keep it on the chicken? Every time I try the plate seems to fill up with chicken water and all my seasoning is wasted, what am I doing wrong?

That is the salt drawing out the moisture in the chicken. Most chickens are injected with a brine solution at the factory before shipping. Depending on what time of year your chicken is bought it has most likely been frozen and thawed. Even Perdue. Your chicken is most likely over filled with moisture and that is your problem because of the brine and freezing thawing process.

I personally do not put salt in my rubs for poultry. I actually prefer to soak them in a seasoned buttermilk over night then put on a dry rub right before grilling or smoking. Try that.

Get chicken with skin still on it and inject underskin between the meat.
