  6. I don’t think Dan know what “dissolve” means. If salt and sugar are dissolved in water, then the water should be clear. Probably doesn’t matter for this recipe, however it shouldn’t be called a “solution”.

    Also, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use EVOO for browning on a grill. A quick Maillard reaction (e.g., on a grill) will take place at >350 degrees F, above the smoke point if EVOO. In fact, those grill grates might be closer to 500 degrees. That’s why people typically use a neutral oil with a high smoke point to grill. If you want the flavor of EVOO then use it to baste at the end (which he does).

  7. I love cauliflower and followed this recipe to the letter and found that 14mins in the nuke made it too tender to flip on the grill, it disintegrated. Tried a second time at 7mins and it came out perfect, brown and crispy on the outside yet creamy on the inside. I think the key was shortening the cook time and extending the grill time.

  11. Because Covid related inflation is a world wide THING, (yeah it is a THING) one would think that democracy loving reporters would be telling us how well the US under Mr Biden is doing in comparison to the other countries. Maybe in fact Mr Biden is making the US economy stronger in relation to all other countries. This would be positive news and help the country steer clear of more lying grifting cheating racist Trumpism in the future.

  15. Good grief is cauliflower the only alternative to potatoes? It's lame in the flavor department and all we see are recipes for grilling, bbqing, broiling, mashing, ect, ect. There has to be something out there in vegetable land better than the "big flower".

  17. I followed this technique yesterday and roasted the cauliflower instead of grilling it. It was excellent. I preheated a sheet pan in the oven until it was piping hot and only then placed the cauliflower. Initially all the residual water dries up and only then does the browning start. I have been looking for a way to overcome the seasoning problem that Dan talks about and this one nails it. In my case only 10 mins in the microwave was enough.

  25. The best thing about atk is you give measurements for everything rather than just say a little of this & a little of that, as your little may not be the the same for everyone.

  40. What a convoluted way of doing something simple. Salt and oil it and pop in air fryer or oven. If you must grill, cut in stakes, par boil or steam it. Hit it with salt after steaming so the salt and pepper sticks. Oil it and grill.

    But if you really want cauliflower to shine, head to you local Indian restaurant and try Gobi (cauliflower) 65.
