Thai Grilled Pork - commenters raving about this dish! Not T&T, but looks good.

Thanks Traca - btw - used my new digital thermometer for the krispy treats

and it worked like a charm - they were awesome. I doubled the cereal layer. Thank you so much!

 
YAY! So glad you liked them...and the thermometer. So amazing how that

one tool cut out a lot of my cooking anxieties. That and a scale.

I'm stunned how much I use my scale--and I'm not even cooking recipes that require it. But dividing a batch of dough in half...I weigh them to make sure they're even. Or chopping Trader Joe's Pound Plus chocolate into something I can use in a recipe. Before: this *looks* like 4 ounces. I'd go through elaborate attempts to visually divide the bar...always guessing, never sure. Now, I know.

 
I use my scale all the time - typically for chocolate - sometimes for wine

when I'm counting calories and have to limit my intake - LOL:)

 
I send up a silent prayer to cookbook authors that include weights. That's why I

was able to make that 3 layer/3 filling cake in 3 hours. Payard included the weight, so I just put the KA bowl on the scale and dumped. So Much Quicker!

I also keep a running list with the empty weights of my key baking bowls. That way--when the batter is done--I stick the whole thing on the scale and get a TOTAL weight. Then I subtract the weight of my bowl (for example, my 5 QT metal KA bowl is ~800 grams) and divide the remaining amount by the number of pans I'll be using. Put each pan on the scale, tare it (set it back to zero) and add the exact amount of batter for each pan.

For example: total weight (batter/bowl) weighs 2000 grams. Subtract 800 for the KA bowl and that leaves 1200 grams of batter. If I'm using 2 pans, each pan gets 600 grams of batter. If I'm using 3 pans, each pan will get 400 grams of batter.

 
You weigh wine??? For me, once the bottle is open...control is out the window. smileys/smile.gif

 
That was the case with me until I put on 10 lbs

and it's not that I drink so much (thank goodness dry white wine is low in calories) - it's when I drink (even a large glass - and it's always at least 1 large glass) - I eat too much.

 
That's Cream of Coconut (sweetened), not coconut cream. The while stuff at the top of a can of

coconut milk is what you're after for this recipe.

 
Oh!! I didn't realize the 'cream' is what was called for in the recipe...oops...Traca is right!

 
By the way, you'll find the amount of cream differs by brand of coconut milk...I prefer

Thai Kitchen brand because it has a lot of the cream on top and the milk seems to have more coconut 'bits' than other brands.
