In the US, the NY Strip Steak is the large side of the T-bone or Porterhouse while the small side is called a filet. The difference in a Porterhouse and a T-bone is usually defined by the size of the filet. Both the T-Bone steak and the Porterhouse are cut from the short loin. The Porterhouse steaks are cut from the rear area of the short loin, T-Bones are cut closer to the front. This gives the Porterhouse a little bit more of the tenderloin than the T-Bone.

You might try watching some videos on YT like The Bearded Butchers where they show the various cuts, where they come from and some of the alternate names for some of the cuts.

poll White or Dark meat?
Qapla replied to Qapla's topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support
I have tried them - don't care for duck or goose Now, I will say that eggs from geese are much richer than chicken eggs and make very rich cakes ... for those who eat cake. -

poll How do you like your steak?
Qapla replied to Bob's topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support
I prefer my steak "medium" - a little pink in the middle. I used to eat mine well done when I was younger but found the meat has more flavor slightly less done. I can tolerate medium leaning towards medium rare but not a truly medium rare. My FIL will not eat meat that is not well, well, well done. He wants his steak dark brown all the way through, or he says it is raw and refuses to eat it. -
poll White or Dark meat?
Qapla replied to Qapla's topic in Carnivore, Ketovore, Keto, & Low-Carb Support
I, too, prefer white met over dark when it comes to the flesh/muscle of the chicken and turkey. I prefer the breast meat, but I do like chicken wings when they are properly cooked - and I like my wings hot and spicy. I will admit, if you're going to make chicken/turkey croquettes, they really need some dark meat added to the mix or they tend to be too dry and fall apart too easy. When it comes to organ meats, I like fried chicken livers. I also like the turkey liver when roasted with the bird. I am not keen on gizzards and hearts. -
While it is true that pork is often referred to as "the other white meat" - it is actually red meat. Also, while birds like duck and goose are poultry and considered "white" meat, because they are birds of flight, however, the breast meat is darker than chicken and turkey breast. Since chicken and turkey are usually less expensive and more readily available than other poultry - this poll is intended to be about the meat found in chickens and turkeys - however, there are options in the poll to allow for other poultry.

An air fryer is more akin to a convection oven with a turbo. It uses air driven dry heat to cook the food and, since the food is confined to a smaller space than a cook stove oven, the air circulation is much more vigorous as it surrounds the food. Although many recipes call for using a small amount of oil of the food, it is not required. Pork and chicken cook quite well in an air fryer. Personally, I have not had the same success with beef - but then, I haven't cooked that much beef in ours - we usually use the grill or the stove.

Have you used an air fryer? How do you like it? How often do you use it? Is there anything particular you have found you really like about using one? Here is something I have found: I can take a chicken breast that is thawed just enough to get a knife through it, slice it or cut it into pieces, season it and cook it in the air fryer and have it ready to eat in less than 10 minutes. I turn the air fryer on to "air fry" at 400º While it is preheating, I cut the chicken and season it. I place it in the fryer set for 8 minutes. During the cook, I shake the basket to stir the pieces around. At the end of the 8 minutes it is all the way done but not dried out. Seasoning will vary depending on what I feel like using.

Diet provided by Doctor Office
Qapla replied to Qapla's topic in General Health and Wellness Discussion
Yes, this diet seems to be more in line with trying to help with things like blood sugar, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and other physical ailments that often require medication to control if a proper diet is not followed instead of weight loss. -
This diet was provided by my Dr. Office - it was described as "Keto Inspired". If you have received a diet plan from your Doctor Office, please post it

What cooking method do you prefer?
Qapla posted a topic in Everyday Chit Chat & Off-topic Discussion
There are many ways to cook meat. Some of those include: Baking in oven Braising in liquid Grilling over flames or coals Smoking low & slow Stovetop Deep fry Air Fry Is there a particular method you prefer? Is there a particular method you avoid? Likewise, using the various methods sometimes requires using more than just seasoning on the meat. What have you found works for you if/when you marinate or rub before cooking?
