What Are You Eating?

I’ve had the same problem when cooking a roast at a friends house, so I just turned off the breaker for the fan in the over and had a great roast.

My electric oven and stove top are on the same circuit. But our oven has a lowest heat setting of 170 degrees (with oven fan running), so we just use that and adjust the timing. Fortunately there are a lot of ways to get that "brown on the outside, medium rare inside" perfect rib roast.

I like Brute's recipe for cornbread stuffing. Never had that, but it sure looks like it would be delicious. We've always just done it with cubed and dried bread. Maybe next year. Or maybe Christmas, that's not far off.

We've an odd arrangement this year. One set of kids and grandson are coming tonight for turkey, and we still have lots of prime rib left over that I made for Wednesday and Thursday. Oy! I'll probably weigh 207 by Monday!
 
We are having our Thanksgiving today (Friday 11.29), because my wife was earning that sweet time and a half at the hospital yesterday.

I got a bigger bird than usual for me: 20lbs. What I didn't consider was that once spatchcocked, it would not fit in my roasting pan or a half sheet pan. So I split it in half and one half will cook in the oven while the other half cooks on the grill.

Here's the two halves of the bird, after dry brining but before being slathered in herbed mayo (that's a half sheet pan on the right):
