• balcony grilling

    Quoting Dale Shipp to Ruth Haffly <=-

    Even with a balcony, it would be against the rules to have a
    grill fire because of fire regulations in apartment buildings.

    We don't have fire regulations prohibiting that and most apt owners
    and condo boards allow propane grills but not wood and charcoal
    grills or smokers. Especially fish smokers!

    the vent on the stove.

    it just vents back into the kitchen, not to the outside.

    In a newish building? I haven't seen that in a home or apartment
    building built during or after the 70s. And a lot of older places
    have been retrofitted.

    I came a cross this a few months ago when I was researching new ways
    to do potatoes:

    Title: Korean Sweet Soy-Glazed Potatoes (Gamja Bokkeum)
    Categories: Korean, Vegetables, Side dish
    Servings: 4

    3 TB soy sauce
    3 TB water
    2 TB sugar
    1 ts fish sauce
    1 md clove garlic, finely grated
    2 TB vegetable oil
    10 oz small Yukon Gold potatoes,
    rinsed and halved
    1 TB toasted sesame oil
    1 TB toasted sesame seeds

    Gamja Bokkeum - A simple glazed potato banchan

    You can use joseon ganjang (Korean soy sauce made from soy alone),
    yangjo ganjang (Korean soy sauce made from soy plus wheat), or even
    Japanese soy sauce here, if that's what you have.

    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sugar, fish sauce,
    and garlic until sugar is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

    Pour oil into a 3-quart saucier or saucepan. Add potatoes, arranging
    them cut-side down in a single layer. Set saucier over medium-high
    heat and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are light golden-brown on
    cut-side, 5 to 6 minutes.

    Lower heat to medium-low, add soy sauce mixture and stir to combine
    with potatoes. Cover saucier with a lid, and cook until potatoes are
    completely tender and offer no resistance when pierced with a cake
    tester or paring knife, about 10 minutes.

    Remove lid and increase heat to high. Cook, uncovered, stirring
    constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until liquid has
    reduced and thickened to a sticky caramel consistency that fully
    glazes the potatoes, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Remove from heat, and transfer potatoes to serving bowl. Drizzle
    with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve.

    the vent on the stove.

    it just vents back into the kitchen, not to the outside.

    In a newish building? I haven't seen that in a home or apartment
    building built during or after the 70s. And a lot of older places
    have been retrofitted.

    Our building is the first one in this massive complex, 21+ years old.
    Our kitchen is not on an outside wall. I supose that runing conduit to
    vent to the outside was not something that they considered doing back
    then.

    We had something like this at a tex-mex restaurant in New Mexico a few
    years back. They were sitting in a bowl on the side, free for the
    picking. They were quite good and a change from the usual stuffed
    peppers.

    Title: Grilled Romaine 2
    Categories: Grill, Vegetables
    Servings: 4

    FOR THE DRESSING:
    1 clove garlic, peeled and
    minced
    6 anchovy fillets, rinsed and
    minced
    2 ts mayonnaise
    2 ts Dijon mustard
    1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil
    2 TB cider vinegar
    Kosher salt and black pepper
    to taste
    FOR THE SALAD:
    2 TB extra-virgin olive oil
    2 heads romaine lettuce
    1/2 c grated Parmesan

    Lettuces do nicely on the grill, softening slightly at their centers
    and charring beautifully at their tips. Their bitterness is a fine
    counterpart to the sweet spiciness of a lot of grilled foods. In
    this recipe, the dressing is Caesar-like. Mustard and mayonnaise
    serve as emulsifiers, while anchovies, garlic and vinegar provide a
    welcome kick. Make sure to paint the dressing into the crevices
    between the leaves, so that while the lettuce caramelizes slightly
    on the exterior, there is still warm creaminess within.

    For the 2 heads romaine lettuce, tops and bottoms trimmed neatly,
    the heads cut lengthwise into quarters Build a fire in your grill,
    leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash
    and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above
    the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas
    grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15
    minutes, then turn burners to medium.)

    Meanwhile, make the dressing: Put the minced garlic into a bowl, and
    add the minced anchovies. Using a whisk, mix and mash these
    ingredients together until they form a paste. Add the mayonnaise and
    the mustard and whisk. Add the olive oil, whisking all the while,
    and then the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set
    aside. Make the salad: Drizzle the olive oil over the quartered
    heads of lettuce. Lightly grill these directly over the hot coals
    for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until they are lightly golden,
    then remove to the cool side of the grill. Using a pastry brush or a
    small spoon, paint the dressing over the lettuce, making sure to get
    dressing between the leaves. Sprinkle the lettuce with Parmesan and
    cover the grill for 1 or 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and
    the lettuce to soften further. Remove lettuce to a platter and
    serve.

    This building is concrete and steel. All buildings in Ontario are

    Heck if you get caught with a propane tank in teh building fire dept

    I have a brand-new, freshly-poured concrete porch that nearly doubles the size of my apartment if you include it in the overall size of the place but I cannot have any sort of open flame grill due to insurance rules. I can have an electric grill or nothing else. I miss my charcoal grill which is at my parents' place right now.

    That's a provincial not national reg. You must have had more than one
    expensive and/or deadly fire in the past for something like that to
    be regulated. But I betcha they were elderly wooden buildings with no sprinklers that were the root of the problem.

    I came across another Indian style pizza recipe recently and I have
    two jars of Patak's on hand (Butter chicken and Madras):

    Title: Jude's Lamb Tikka Pizza Masala

    It's sounds like you're on the ground floor of a place.

    I cannot have any sort of open flame grill due to insurance
    rules. I can have an electric grill or nothing else.

    I can see the point on vinyl sided, wood frame buildings and on
    wooden decks as coals can be spilled.

    I can also see the point of banning wood and charcoal fired
    appliances being barred as they generate a lot of smoke and
    considering the air quality of people on the upper floors above you.

    But propane is safe and no more smoky than an electric grill.

    So I really can't understand the rationale behind the building
    code and insurance policies issues and restrictions being referred
    to in this thread.

    Title: Carolina Grits Souffle
    Categories: Southern, Corn, Eggs Pudding, Casseroles
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 c Chicken stock
    1 c Water
    1 c Half and half
    2 ts Salt
    1 c White grits-stone ground
    5 Egg; separated
    1 1/2 c Sharp cheddar cheese, white
    Or yellow; grated
    1 tb Garlic; minced
    4 tb Unsalted butter
    Salt and black pepper
    Tabasco sauce
    1/2 c Scallions; slice

    Butter a 2-quart casserole or souffle dish. In a 3-quart, heavy-
    bottomed saucepan, bring the stock, water half and half and salt
    to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce the heat to medium, and cook,
    stirring often, until thick, smooth and creamy (the consistency of
    polenta). Beat the egg yolks, temper with a spoonful of hot
    grits, and then stir egg yolks into grits. Stir in the cheese,
    garlic and butter, and season with salt, pepper and Tabasco to
    taste. Cool at room temperature. An hour before serving, preheat
    oven to 375 F. In a stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites
    until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites and
    scallions into the cool grits mixture and spoon into the buttered
    souffle' dish. Bake 30-40 minutes, until grits are set. (If the
    surface seems to be browning too much, cover with foil until set.)
    Serve immediately.

    Ever since you mentioned it I've popped into a few of the mom and pop
    pizza places. Almost every one will make an "Indian style" for you
    without batting an eye. They don't seem to be on the menu yet but if
    you ask you shall recieve.

    One place in Whitby (Pizza Rock) even has a slice pie at lunch with it.

    In fact you have inspired lunch. Going out for lunch with an old friend
