  • Where do I even start with with this Peach & Honeycomb Galette?? . . . First!!! The crust is light and flakey with a little pistachio crunch!! . . The filling is fresh and flavorFUL!!!! Peaches! Ginger! Honey! Vanilla!!!! . . But the magic is in the marzipan! You line the crust with rich almond cream, which makes for a decadent dessert, unlike any other pie you’ve tried. (why are we not adding marzipan to every dessert??) . . Then you top it gorgeous slices of honeycomb, which melt and sweeten the deal!! It’s so classy. . . Plus!! I love anything I can make “rustic.” Like this galette. The edges needn’t be perfect. A little shagginess adds to the charm of this dessert. . . Oh! And let’s not forget- you don’t need to heat the house with the oven!! Bake this baby in the Traeger!!!!! . . Kelly! (@saltncopper) I can’t stop with this galette. I’ll be singing it’s praises ALL. SUMMER. LONG. . . I’ve got a tree full of cherries just waiting to be turned into a galette!!! Can you imagine- cherries with that marzipan???? I’m drooling already!!! . . Kelly is graciously letting us share this recipe with you- on the blog - linked in our profile: @orsongygi . . Please tell me you’ll give this one a try!!! You’ll love it!! 🍑 . . . . . . . http://blog.gygi.com/blog/2019/06/20/traeger-baked-peach-honeycomb-galette/
  • Chef Todd Leonard began the Grilling Gala with a sizzle when he placed an entire octopus on the grates of the Weber Grill! Then it was chopped and served with a cod and shrimp ceviche. Even the skeptics were gobbling up this fresh and flavorful dish! Find the recipe: blog.gygi.com

  • Grilling Greatness - Tip #10 - GET A GOOD RUB . . Do you have a spice blend you love??? . . I grew up on Montreal Steak Seasoning. 😋 Mmmmm. It’s my favorite for hamburgers! . . But when it comes to chicken, I love something with a little paprika!! The Gygi Rotisserie Rub is my favorite! . . And for ribs? @traegergrills Traeger Rub every time!! . . But really, I have a cupboard full of rubs from @traegergrills, @webergrills, and @orsongygi !!! And I use them all. . . Can you have too many rubs??? I say no!! And don’t even get me started on sauces. 😋 . . Rubs and Sauces will be on sale tomorrow for the #gygigrillinggala !!! Offer will be good in-store and online! Stay tuned for the details tomorrow!! . . Plus, a good rub makes a good gift, if you know what I mean??? #fathersday 😉
  • My first snow cone of the season!! A nice blank canvas of soft snow!!! What flavor would you use???? ((Or flavors???)) 🌈 . . Peach never lets me down, but I’m always open to a new combo!!! I’ve never met a snow cone I didn’t like. . . Unless, it’s that hard-to-eat crushed ice version of a snow cone! No thank you! . . Today, I’m sharing our favorite machine for making the best snow cones at home. . . It is technically an “ice shaver” Which means it makes soft, fluffy snow (none of that “crushed ice” garbage). . . And! It will be on sale this weekend for the #gygigrillinggala !!! . . Check it out in our stories!!! My nine-year-old daughter loves making them... she’s showing us how it’s done. . . If you want to try one yourself, we will be handing out FREE snow cones this Saturday at the Grilling Gala!!! 10am-4pm!! . . What flavors should we offer?? Tell us your favorite!!!
  • Grilling Greatness - Tip #9 - FORGO THE FORK . . When I planned these grilling tips a few weeks ago, I was a FIRM believer that you should not use a fork to turn meat!! You should also avoid over poking with a thermometer, because every poke was releasing precious juices!!! . . But maybe it doesn’t actually matter. 🙃 I’ve been researching the topic of “over-poking” meat, and now I need your help. . . <> . . Will your chicken be inferior because you used a fork to turn it? Will your steak lose precious juices due to excessive temperature probing???? . . Before I share the info I’ve found, I’m interested in what out you think!!!! . . Share your opinion: . . CAN YOU “OVER-POKE” MEAT??? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻
  • What is more scary to you??? ☝🏻ONE: undercooked meat -or- ✌🏻TWO: overcooked meat Of course we want neither option, but I’ve found people usually err on one side or the other. Me? I’ve never had salmonella poisoning... so I errr on the side of underdone. I’ve had plenty of dry meat and (gag!) I’d rather avoid that. Am I alone??? Do you (1: undercook) or (2: overcook)? Cast your vote!!! . . But, guess what!?! You CAN avoid both— use the ultra responsive @thermoworks Thermapen!!!! Swipe to see the best method to ensure your meat is cooked to perfection!!! This can only be done with a thermometer that responds as quickly as @thermoworks products!!! Practicing this method has been a game changer for me and my husband, too. You see, he errs on the (overcooked) side of things. With a Thermapen, our meat cooks until it’s done- and not one degree more!!! Now- we are both happy!!! . . What team are you on?? 1) overcooked? 2) Undercooked? Or (3) Thermapen??? 😉

  • Man does not live on bread alone. 🍞 He definitely needs a little butter on that bread. And for something magical, add a sprinkle of smoked sea salt, too. 🧂 Baked my first loaf of bread in my @traegergrills today! It was easy. And delicious, because I followed @saltncopper ‘s recipe!! That smoked sea salt is 😍!!! I couldn’t get enough. So, I sprinkled a bit on every slice I ate. Yum. In full disclosure, the bread pictured here was not baked by me. It was baked by Kelly!! Mine deflated after the second rise (thanks, small children!!!). Kelly’s is gorgeous. And I’m going to try again soon, hoping for a lovelier loaf!! But, the shriveled crust on my loaf didn’t stop me from eating a few (or maybe several) slices this evening. It’s real good. Documented the results in our stories today! Plus, answered a couple baking-in-your-traeger questions. Check ´em out!!! What fun things do you cook today??? Did you have better success than me???
  • Grilling Greatness - Tip #8 - Take the Temp The hardest part of grilling is knowing when the meat is done cooking. 🥩There’s a fine line between make-you-sick raw meat and make-you-gag overdone meat. But!! The good news is.... you can avoid both unfortunate types of meat with an instant-read thermometer!!!🌡 Taking the temp of your meat is the ONLY way to be sure your meat is properly cooked. Forget timers! You need to know what is going on inside! And a thermometer gives you that information. But! It’s only helpful if you know how to use it! Do you know where to stick a thermometer??? 🤔 I used the poke and poke and poke all over method for a long time, jabbing the meat many times, & collecting numbers until I found the lowest reading. Is this how you use a thermometer, too?? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 If so, I’m here to tell you... there’s a better way!! And it’s a lot less scary and requires a lot less poking. Do you want to learn more about using a thermometer??? If so, let me know in a comment! I’ve got plenty to share, if you’re interested!!! If you’ve already mastered the thermometer, share your tips here!!! We love when the Gygi Community shares their tips and tricks!!!
