A lot of homes in the Greater Seattle area lost power on Christmas Day, starting at about 11 am, right in the middle of prime turkey-cooking-time. I’m going to bet that there were some people really freaking out.
Fortunately, we had steaks as a backup. We had also arranged for a supermarket to make the side dishes. I had figured that way I could focus on a few other appetisers.
The idea of making appetisers was lost with the power.
64 ounces of semi-frozen turkey gravy went into a 10″ cast-iron skillet with a lid. The cast iron was scavenged from the camping equipment.
The (also semi-frozen) scalloped potatoes, stuffing, and mashed potatoes all went shoulder to shoulder to shoulder into a shallow roasting pan. The roasting pan got wrapped tightly in aluminum foil.
Everything went onto the grill. I babysat for 40 minutes, maintaining the temperature at 350F.
When the sides were lava hot I pulled them from the grill, turned turned the grill up high, and put the steaks on.
Lunch/dinner was served! Thank You Weber Grill!
