Did ANOTHER stir-fry with the turkey fryer, and blanched the broccoli in a boiling bath of...

...water, a splash of rice wine, crushed fresh ginger, chopped scallions, a drizzle of sesame oil, one clove of crushed garlic and salt.

Wow! Not only did the broccoli taste great, look bright green in the finished dish, and have the right texture (even with the rapid, high-heat cooking technique), but the left over broth made for wonderful egg flower soup, when strained and added to some chicken stock concentrate.

Woo Hoo!

I haven't been this excited about a cooking project since I got my KA stand mixer and began baking bread in earnest. (Actually, Earnest got tired of me always shoving bread dough at him, so I started baking bread in the oven, instead.) And that was back in'92.

I LOVE this turkey fryer!

Yeah but what about the cost of propane these days?

I had about 30# of crawfish to cook last night and stopped at the local market to get a tank and not only were they out but the girl told me it was $60 a tank. WOW - I haven't used propane in ages and think the last time I got it I paid about $18 for a tank. She told me they were the highest around but STILL......

 
I noticed some of the swap cannisters here are smaller than my original so my solution was

to purchase a second cannister (Costco had more reasonable prices) and filled it to have on hand as a backup. It's been great having a filled one for those times I run out of propane in the middle of grilling a meal.

 
I have two also. What I want is the propane guage that CI recommended.

It is a hand-held measuring device that weighs the propane tank in order to estimate the amount of propane it has left.

The only issue I see is that you have to disconnect the tank from the grill in order to weigh it.

I understand the in-line needle guages are not very accurate. Costco has them on occasion for around $15.

Can't you keep a cheap flat bathroom scale with it? Weight tank when empty,

log the weight, then weight it after it's been completely filled. Subtract--the difference is the weight of the gas.

Then weight after usage to see how much gas remains. There should be enough room to lift the tank and set it on the scale without having to disconnect the hoses.

At least it's an idea until you can find your CI gauge.

 
Not a bad idea, Mar, 'cept ya have to disconnect the thing and take it off to weigh it. Wish the

gauge could be built right in for easy monitoring.
