Firstly, let’s discuss what is prime rib, and why I think it is the worst preparation of the best part of a cow. As per Wikipedia “A standing rib roast, also known as prime rib, is a cut of beef from the primal rib, one of the nine primal cuts of beef. While the entire
In Part 1 of this series, we covered how we can easily adapt a PC power supply to power an electrolysis tank. This was done using an EPS12V connector to build a ‘dongle’, which can be plugged into any power supply made in about the past 10 years or so. In this part, we’ll build
One of the big challenges that I have been having with regards to cast iron restoration has been finding a cheap and reliable source of 12vDC power. Historically, many restorers have relied on manual car battery chargers, such as those made for Schumacher or Jegs. However, manual car battery chargers are becoming increasingly hard to
Full disclosure: I am an unabashed lover of ribeye. It is, in my opinion, the most flavorful of the various cuts of steak, and is the most versatile. What can make ribeye even better? The Ribeye cap steak can, and this post will show you how to make them at home.
Prerequisites: Read part 3 of this series, which covers how the step by step of how I build electrolysis tanks. This article covers how and why I built my two 55 gallon tanks, and will be more ‘build log’ and ‘things I do differently now’ than step-by-step instructions.
What is the process of seasoning and why is it important to the condition of your cast iron? Early in its life, a cast iron pan is prepared for use by a process known as ‘seasoning’ (occasionally called ‘curing’), which gives the pan its protective finish, nonstick-ish qualities and black color. A pan is ‘seasoned’
Who said that electricity and water don’t mix? In part 1 of this series, we covered the theory and science behind how electrolysis works. In this article, we get to go and actually build something.
As noted in part 1 of this series, my preferred method for removing organic matter from cast iron that I am restoring is a lye tank. While a lye tank only consists of two items: lye and water, some care needs to be taken during its construction in the interest of safety Safety and Personal
At some point, whether through inheritance, shopping, or neglect, you are going to need to restore a cast iron pan so that it is usable again. There are two major items that can make a cast iron pan less than usable: Rust and crud. A number of methods have been devised over the years, and
