    Syrup

    Yep the stripping and cutting, then heeling in, (the covering with the cane fodder) to prevent freezing until syrup time, was work. Amazing when I think back how many these old sustenance techniques are totally gone along with most the equipment. In that era peanuts were stacked around...

    Growing up in South Alabama late 40-early 50's, syrup making was a community event. Large landowner had large vat approx 4 X 8 ft heavy metal in dedicated shed. Smaller operations use circular cast iron cooker. many of the cast cookers still used that are today as cattle water troughs...

    crockpot/slow cooker

    Do most my cooks on ceramic cooker (Big Green Egg). Dislike needing to sear red meats before going in crock pot. I know lots people do these meats in slow cooker, just not appeal to me. Really like the post another subject on this forum that use cast iron to sear then just added veggies and...

    Oil free Turkey Fryer

    Another Response on oil less turkey fryer. Over last 40 yrs have done all 3 options. As M-5 indicates Propane fry may be most tasty option, I was always in fear of fire either on structures or myself. Oil , for that peanut oil better for higher flash point, but minimal difference in than...

    Sausage Gravy

    For me I use the prepackaged gravy, and add my desired sausage. But, to go back to early 60's military, SOS, whether chipped beef or ground was always for me acceptable alternative. The cooks would plop an egg on top or let You eat "as is", but rib sticking, and You didn't worry about hunger...
