Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

Another Recipe = This time for a turkey injection I cut the 21 pound turkey down the middle. Placed each half in a roaster at Ceiling 525 floor 500. Covered in foil for 90 minutes, Removed foil and kept in for another 90 minutes, Removed bird when internal temp reached 165.

Injections of basting solution deep into bird about every 1 inch little amounts everywhere to distribute flavor.

Very moist and a very nice flavor.

This marinade injects a rich and buttery flavor directly into the meat of poultry. Particularly good on turkey, the secret to using this injection marinade is to keep it just warm enough for the butter to stay liquid.
Prep Time: 10 minutes

It is so nice to have a large countertop space especially when it is so close WFO. I have to run back and forth from my kitchen like a madman to the WFO everytime I cook something. Nice Job Chip!

Thanks for the complements AL and Banhxeo, I still need to run back and forth 6 months of the year because of the cold. But I think it will work out well the other 6. It is nice to have a place to set things down for loading and unloading all year round.

I did have a piece of scrap granite on the counter this summer for a few parties and liked it so much I decided to go with granite, my other options were slate and polished concrete. I liked the granite so much I had to go that route.

Now I want them in the kitchen and that is a whole other project.

Updated the previous post to include daylight photos. I will post final photos after grouting and caulking work is done.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

Granite counter went on the Prep table tonight with the help of some neighbors. She weighed in at about 360 Pounds. Updated photos from last night. for a better look at the prep table and installation.

Another $200.00 invested in the oven thanks to Craigslist.

I undercut some of the bricks to give a better fit and used expanding foam under the counter to provide a nice flat supported surface. I still need to clean up the squeeze out, caulk the edges and do some grouting at the seam of the counter and bricks. I am real happy with how it turned out.

Re: Chip's 42 in Minnesota

Thanks again Chip...I was hoping you might catch my hint . My computer now contains a file with "Chips recipes"!

I checked out the text you recommended - spendy (for the latest edition), but a highly recommended book. I have the 4th edition of Professional Cooking.

I agree very spendy.. I was lucky enough to pick up my 4th edition at a used book store in a bargain bin for about $3.00
