Have you ever thought about taking traditional pastries and giving them a futuristic twist? I’m experimenting with combining unexpected flavors, like pairing lavender with dark chocolate, and the results are incredible! I’d love to hear any innovative flavor combinations you all have been trying out.
I know exactly what you mean about marbling driving us nuts. I’ve started using a simple meat grading app that lets me track quality visually and add notes on marbling. It’s made a huge difference, especially on busy days — it takes the guessing out of the equation! Have you tried any apps, or are you sticking to traditional methods?
I’ve found that using a simple digital meat thermometer can really help maintain consistency in cooking the beef after grading. Even slight variations in temperature can affect how the marbling renders, impacting the overall quality. Have you thought about investing in one of those for your shop, @jstewart25?
