Q&A
Interview with Eva Shockey
Fat side up or fat side down?
Fat side down, if you are going straight on the grill. I love that extra bit of char and grill marks on the fatty side! However if you are using a pan, then fat side up and let it caramelize topside!
Your most trusted cooking tool?
Kitchen knife. I mean if you had to choose just one, how could you choose anything else? But as far as specialty tools, a zester is the secret weapon of flavor.
Best travel spot?
Hawaii’s ocean will forever be my cherished happy place.
First (or best) cooking lesson you learned by trial and error?
Reverse sear. Always remove the food after slow cooking and let the traeger get up to a super high temp (I like 500!) before putting it back on. I used to leave it on while it got hotter. Nowhere near the same results.
Strangest food you’ve eaten or cooked?
Sea cucumber is great fried.
