Boet, I think I've said it before, for me this is a risky move, but I wish you every success. Good luck.

Thats it exactly...you have to try..and give it everything. A half try is a half success or failure...a full try is either a full success or failure.
Ultimately Sreel-line our factory will subsidise it till its running at a profit so really cannot lose.
Its also a full on operating showroom of what we can do. So its marketing for Steel-line and Diablo

Just don't hang saarks flags and caps etc in the shop. You want to lure customers, not chase them away.

My dad use to kak on me when I licked my fingers while braaiing. Use to turn over the wors by hand (we dont had the fancy knyp tange like today). Told me I touch a lot of gif goed.

We didn't use a grill. We were so tough we used to just hold the wors directly over the flames with our hands.

There’s a gap in the market for you. Mini moonshine kits! You should have no trouble in knocking up those.

Nice Sards. I did roast beef.

Sards wrote: Mon Aug 03, 2020 4:28 am Tonight we are doing tuna on the griddle. Eldest has been craving it and I got a few pieces yesterday which look amazing.


Tomorrow we are doing steak. I will look for a decent piece. I managed to get hold of some great marrow bones which I am going to grill and then take that cooked marrow juices and suck it into a syringe and inject it into the steak before we grill it. My butcher says it's the bomb and my wife is surprised I took so long to do it. I just felt it might be a bit rich but am ready for it. I can just imagine that marrow juice cooking inside the meat taking it to another level.

Checkers has good deals on steak, if you buy 1 kilo or over.

Nice Sards. I did roast beef.

Oh man it was good.
Has seconds which is unusual for me. Those roasters were in the whole process from raw. Normally I add them halfway after microwaving them half cooked. This time they sat for the full hour soaking up the juices from the shoulder and I removed the meat and put them in the pan on the coals for literally a few minutes a side to brown. Remember there are 3 sides so a bit of skillful turning without it sticking to the pan or burning. The meat was sensational. I had inserted thinly sliced garlic into the meat. I cant handle those chunky garlic cloves. There was a literal spot of pink on the bone but the rest was done to perfection. Juicy and tender. Soaking up the gravy my wife made from the juices. This was a R70 piece of meat and it filled us all up with absolutely nothing left over.

It's not a braai @ Sard's, just a big oven.

Sards wrote: Mon Aug 03, 2020 6:19 pm oh BTW...tuna is the easiest meat to cook. Came out great. My wife did it in a different basting on the Eastern side. I prefer pepper corn and olive oil with a slight salt.

Tomorrow is another story

Sards and his microwave are NOT part of Team Braai.
