No, but I like a really good crust on burgers. I press them thick and go about 4 minutes per side on med high for medium (I don't like burgers med rare).

I, too, will vouch for the NuWave/FlavorWave type of oven. I've had a FlavorWave for 10 years and it's been great. It's especially good for chicken, fish and veggies. I'd rather do beef on the grill, but it will do when that's not an option. I've cooked whole frozen chickens on it several times and it turns out great.

A bit different than mine, but an excellent choice...

Not sure I posted this but if I did, I'm sorry I don't remember the comments.

We are doing a small backyard remodel and have to decide about a fruit tree. We already have an orange tree we will be planting and want to do one more fruit tree. I've narrowed it to lemon vs lime since I use those fairly frequently.

Give me your thoughts on what you use more in cooking, drinks and cleaning? If you had the choice, which would you plant?

Lemon. I use lemons WAY more than limes.

And tell me like in what? I don't always have both on hand so if I did have quite a few, I want to think of how I'd use them.

Fried chicken wings, celery, steak fries.

I like acidity, so seafood obviously, but try a good squeeze of lemon on a steak, in place of vinegar in fried rice, make preserved lemons, pasta, chicken, lemon merengue pie, lemon curd... Lemons rock.

We don't really do mixed drinks at home, so no suggestions there.

Fire Me Boy! 08-17-2014 04:04 PM

Lemon zest is even better!

NewChief 08-17-2014 04:07 PM

I use limes more but we drink a lot of drinks with limes. Probably cook more with lemons though I use limes a lot in Mexican and Thai

See, this is my problem! I love lemons and could simply drink lemonade all day. Not to mention using it for acid in tons of cooking recipes. However, I love limes for Margaritas and other mixed drinks, guacamole and any Mexican/Asian food.

Maybe we could fit an orange, lime and lemon tree in? :hmmm:

No, I don't think we can. Not enough room for all three. Damn.

Get a grafted tree

Dude, that is really awesome.

Wonder if I can find something like that around here? Would solve a lot of problems because when a tree produces fruit, you can't use it all anyway but if you had multiple kinds it's more plausible to use it all.

Ask you local greenhouses about grafted trees. I'm sure one of them will know something, some source.

Dunno about expense, though I don't see it being outlandish. All they did was splice some branches early in the tree's maturation.

Get a couple young enough and you can do it yourself.

Just found a resource to read about them in Phoenix. They've mostly stopping doing them because most of them will revert back to the strongest/dominate fruit which is the sour orange. Most claim they don't work like people think and paying a lot for it to revert just doesn't make sense.
