By the way, another thing that my husband brought back from his trip to relatives was an injector-needle sort of thing, for infusing meat with marinade.
I recently saw a guy in Texas, on Youtube, showing how to inject with marinade before roasting or barbecue-ing meat.
Do you have any experience with that? I want to try it. When I find the man’s Youtube channel again, I’ll post it here.

Some people swear by 'em. All of my meat is tender and flavorful when I finish it anyway.
No hating on those that like injectors, just not for me. Experiment. Try it out. I could learn something... I'm sure.

Nice thread today. I like meat with jam too, favorite is a charcoal grilled steak with my onion jam on top. Also like a good thick pork chop grilled with my applesauce on top. My favorite jam is orange marmalade would like to try making it someday. I saw a recipe once for a grilled steak with chimichurri sauce on it. The article said the steak tasted like “it was dragged through a garden”. That was the hook. So I made the sauce and tried it on a steak. Whoa - way too strong for me. Almost inedible. My favorite carrot recipe is a carrot pate recipe I got about 30 years ago out of a Gourmet magazine. What I added is serving it not with crackers, but raw pea pods, and if you put the pate on a dinner plate you can stick all the pea pods around it like a giant sunflower. Looks pretty and tastes great. We still had snow on the ground and dug out our grill on Pi day and had steaks. We’ve never had a gas grill and you could never give us one. Just wish I could stop hubby from buying pricey “cowboy charcoal”. We have 10 acres of hardwoods almost all oak and cherry and we could make our own for nothing. I guess I am rambling today but I am down with a bad cold. I just don’t cook the way I used to. Last August I started a new lifestyle and so far I has stuck. I call it Aim Small Cook Small. Have a great weekend everyone.
I have one. No clue where I got it. It doesn’t work. Tried it once and it’s now taking up space in the draw. Need to toss it. I’d rather rub the spices/marinade/whatever on the meat or cut slits and insert by hand.
