Smokes from the deep dark depths of the lab!
Greetings once again true believers! It is once again time for the Kartoffel to regale you all with tales from the underground lab. I have branched into new areas and have increased my mutant vegetable breeding grounds, but those are not what I am here to inform you of. This new device in my arcane collection of cooking technology has been keeping me very occupied and I have been slaving away at the labs non stop with this behemoth. I had to setup a large team of my mutant turnips in the labor to bring this new implement of mayhem back to the lab. Now to unveil it I had gargoyles flying the skies of Kartoffel Castle and belching out sulfurous gasses to signal the coming of my own personal Smoker! I have joined the ranks of those who feel that heat alone is not enough, we must suffocate our food with the vapors of various dead trees's to imbibe more flavor to our various and sundry meals. So far I have had some great success and enjoyed it a lot. I shall regale you with my first experiment as a start. My first round has been Beef ribs. First I went and wrestled down the strongest bull from a wild herd that roams near Castle Kartoffel. After a mighty battle I subdued the beast and prepared his carcass to be sacrificed to the Smoker gods and appease my rumbling belly. This first attempt used the ancient methods that require a slow roasting to enhance both the flavor and tenderness of the meat. I made use of the ancient spice blend passed down from priests from darker times before common mans knowledge, from before the sinking of Atlantis and their ancient barbecuing skills. I used the spice known as Pappy's. I had some difficulty in finding purveyors of acceptable smoking woods, but finally turned up a source from m hidden network of informants. Once I turned up a source for Mesquite in this particular case I was able to start the long and deliciously tortuous process of the slow roast. The first stage required 5 hours of time. During this time I added some Whiskey to the fluids used to make the meat remain tender and moist. After the first five hours, the ribs are removed and put in a foil cocoon that has some more whiskey added during this second stage of the process. And finally a third stage where they are once again licked by the tendrils of smoke for an hour more. Well after this long process I donned my fire proof robes and entered the box to remove my meat and test out how my first smoking had gone. I report that is was a great success and already has been done again to please my guests at the most recent Kartoffel Bash. Well that is all for now true believers! Excelsior!
