Will it BBQ? Squid!

In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Squid and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!

Prep Time

60 Minutes

Cook Time

10 Minutes

Ingredients

1 Squid
1 Pineapple

Utensils Needed

Non-Stick Mesh Basket
Boning Knife

Instructions
If you purchased an entire squid, as we did, then you need to start by separating the hood from the tentacles. You can do this by making a clean cut just above the head. Then you need to remove a ball-like piece from the head, this will contain the beak, it comes out easily just feel around for it and squeeze it out. Then you need to reach up into the hood and remove the internal guts. You should also be able to pull out the quill at this point, the quill is a clear plastic looking piece that is roughly the size and shape of a feather. Next clean everything very well under water. Then lay the hood flat and either cut or pull off the wings. Then cut through the upper half of the hood leaving the bottom half intact, this will make the squid more tender and allow you to stuff it with more pineapple. Stuff it with pieces of pineapple and sprinkle on the seasoning of your choice. Then go ahead and grill it until it has the desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes a side should do it. Get some dipping sauces ready and enjoy!
So, Will it BBQ?

This was one of our more “interesting” ones. I like calamari in pasta dishes and when it is fried, grilling it was very good, but the texture was not as good as when it is fried, the hood was by far the best part though. The tentacles were not something I would eat again and the “wings” were at best okay. We have the longer version of this video available Here if you want to watch the entire thing.

Hi Temp Cheese, Will it BBQ?! Will it BBQ? Hi-Temp Cheese!
In this segment we pose the question and the answer to Will it BBQ? So much more than just hamburgers, hot dogs, and other meats can be BBQ'd, Grilled, or Smoked. And, this is where we try out unique ideas for cooking on a grill or smoker. This week we are BBQ'ing Hi-Temp Cheese and letting you know if it will BBQ or not!
Cheese Close up Prep Time
5 Minutes
Cook Time
30 Minutes
Ingredients
Hi-Temp Cheese
Any Desired Seasonings
Utensils Needed
Smoker
Flip Professional Smoke Box
Aluminum Cooking Trays
Instructions While this cheese will hold its form through smoking temperatures we still recommend you cold smoke it to minimize any malformation of the cubes. Place your cheese in aluminum cooking trays or foil pans and poke holes in the bottom of a foil pan or other container to allow the smoke more access to the cheese. Get your smoke box loaded with whatever wood chips you want to use, we used pecan and get them lit. Place the smokebox on the lowest shelf and the cheese on the highest. This will keep the cheese away from the heat source and the smoke will pass through the cheese on its way out the top vent. Close both vents most of the way allowing just enough air to keep the flames going. How long you leave it in there is really up to you, we smoked ours for 30 minutes but if you are looking for a heavier smoke then you can leave it in longer, or shorter if you want less of a smoke flavor. So, Will it BBQ?
Cheese makes everything better and smoke makes everything better so it stands to reason that they will all be better once smoked, right?! Not so fast, while the Cheddar, Mozzarela, and Hot Pepper all benefited greatly from 30 minutes with some Pecan smoke, the Swiss and the Ghost Pepper did not! The swiss picked up a taste that I did not care for and the Ghost Pepper was just too strong to notice any changes, it was just HOT!

blackbetty61 It is an interesting idea, we used cheese puffs a while ago in the Nacho Cheese Flavored Jerky/Snack Stick Seasoning and it was good but messed with the texture too much. I will add cheese-its to the list of Will It BBQ
Dr_Pain Pre-Thanks sale comes out next Monday, it wont be in that one BUT look to the THanksBlackMonday Sale. THAT should be a big one for Walton’s branded equipment.

BBQ'd Ziti Will it BBQ? Ziti!

Prep Time
30
Cook Time
45
Ingredients
1 Package of Ziti
Desired amount of Red Sauce
1 Cup ricotta Cheese
Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese
1 lb Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions This works best with a homemade red sauce but you can use a jarred sauce if you have to, either way use the Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning to add a little zip to your sauce. After boiling your pasta (undercook it slightly as it will cook more in the smoker) put it in a foil pan and add your sauce, then put spread out your Ricotta Cheese and Mozzarella cheese in a layer above the pasta and sprinkle on some Parmesan as well. Put it in your smoker and smoke for about 45 minutes at 375°, remove and serve hot. So, Will it BBQ?
The cheese and sauce are going to be the two main vehicles for the smoke here and while I don’t think either of them picked up a lot of smoke it was enough to give it a nice smokiness without being overpowering. This is a definite yes, will BBQ!

I’ll have to give the balsamic g&h jam a try, but I think there are a bunch of other interesting options… you could try something much more “traditional” like nutmeg or cinnamon… or stretch the possibilities with a lil cumin… BUT… I’m more curious to just try a lil naked smoked watermelon…

We did Stuffed Jalapenos here but wrapped them in prosciutto instead of bacon and they were amazing! That’s been a few years though and we did not do any video on them so maybe it is time to try them again, with a test to see if they will freeze or not. My thought is that they will, the bacon or whatever we use will probably get soggy but I’ll check this out and hopefully will have a video in a few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion!
