Title: Gorgonzola Four (OnePiece)
Post by: Frodage on May 17, 2015, 02:02:47 AM
There is nothing left of "Notchy" and "Gorgonzola Two" bit the dust long ago, but "Frankenblue" ages quietly. So, what to do except another gorgonzola?
After two successful attempts, and one in the hand, I feel like I'm getting pretty darned good at this. So good, in fact, that I didn't even take photos of the fourth make, didn't even keep notes. I could be getting complacent.
But I'm trying to improve the veining, as I've seen on this site. For the first set of holes on Day 7, I used my regular thermometer (4mm round). For the second set on Day 16, I used my new skewer (wider than it is narrow) and discovered an extra treat. It acts like a trier pulling out the juicy goodness for a sample! This one is moister inside than the others possibly because of some draining issues. Drat! Why didn't I keep notes?

I like them pasty and moist myself.   ;)

Looking good, Jim. Another C4U.
