What will you be cooking up for the 4th of July?

Jun 28, 2012 7:13 PM

I'm hoping the weather will cooperate, since we’ll be hosting a small BBQ with grilled chicken breasts and all the usual BBQ sides. I’m still trying to figure out what to make for dessert, but it will be something yummy! I'm thinking I may also need to try spiral cutting hotdogs since it looks freaking cool!

What’s going to be on your plate? Have any amazing recipes you want to share?

I got tempted by looking up cornbread to help another community member out the other day, so I am thinking of trying one of those recipes.

@inkycatz: I've never made my own cornbread from scratch, but I think I definitely need to try this recipe, it looks amazing!

We are going be steaming crabs, having corn on the cobb and maybe trying to fry chicken in the turkey fryer, I've heard that it's really good.

I have some great dessert recipes at home (unfortunately I'm at work) so I'll see what I can find later tonight and post.

7 doz of fresh Washington Oysters - to be delivered on Tuesday - might not make it to Wednesday... :-)

@kristiwsu: thanks for posting the link to that video! I love hot dogs, especially the blackened carcinogens from grilling, and I can't wait to try that technique!

I'm not sure what I'm doing for the Fourth of July, but I have a brand-new grill (haven't even used it yet!) and I've been contemplating what I could cook on it using cast iron. I wonder if you could do a dessert like a bread pudding or fruit crumble in a skillet on the grill? With some vanilla ice cream, it would be delicious!

We'll probably have burgers and hot dogs, both well done. Other than that I haven't been told yet.

Beef...it's what's for dinner.

Lobster!
And as a bonus, the fish shop will cook it, so we can just bring it out to the boat to enjoy with some melted butter (in a thermos) with the fireworks

@neuropsychosocial: I remember seeing a cast-iron grilled dessert on Pinterest (I think it was a berry cobbler?), so it can be done! Doing a quick google search, I found a recipe for fruit cobbler on the grill. I think making a berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream would be amazing! I might need to give it a shot...

@phoenixgirrl: wow, that sounds awesome. Can I come if I bring some homebrew?

@kristiwsu: A little late, but I made a berry cobbler using my woot! cast iron skillet. Most wonderful way to eat fruit!!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
