Is your convection oven gas or electric?

Ginny,
Have you tried your tomato jam on the zucchini pancakes? Seems like it would be pretty tasty.

Shandong Green Onion....The stalks measured 40 inches from the top of the green stalk to the bottom of the long white stem.. The root's were long and healthy..

Worth, Gas..

SalsaCharlie, I did not try it with the black tomato bacon jam, or the green tomato jam, but, I bet it would have been great!! Next time!! I wanted to try it by itself to taste the fresh flavors on it's own.. It was wonderful!

Thanks for the reply Ginny.
The convection ovens gas or electric work differently and I was wondering.
Gas also puts out moisture where electric doesn't.

I am thinking of making a large dehydrator with a heat lamp, thermostat and a fan so I can keep the temperature well below oven warm, which mine is 170F.

Worth, If you decide to make a dehydrator I would love to see pictures and a step by step 'How to'... I think it would be awesome! Be careful with the heat lamps though.. Some get so hot they can catch fire easy.. I guess it depends on the type you use..

A good friend of mine made a really nice smoker out of plywood.
I mean the thing really looks nice and it is big.
He smokes all of his wild game and Alaska salmon in it.

Shandong (Shantung) Chicken served with Shandong Sauce and Rice..

Shandong chicken is basically a crispy skin chicken that has been cooked twice. Boiled quickly in a deep saucepan with carrot's, spring onions and peppercorns and the chicken is covered with water. Cook on slow simmer for 10 minutes, let chicken cool in the broth. Drain and pat dry.. Let sit in airy place just for a bit to finish drying.. (dry skinned chicken will have more of a crispy texture when deep fried) Heat deep heavy base pan or wok to 190 degrees. Cook chicken pieces skin side down 5 minutes on each side. Drain well and chop into big pieces, or large bite size if you prefer. I prefer to leave mine on the bone..

Arrange on platter then pour your sauce over top and drizzle with red pepper oil.. Top with more diced spring onions and coriander leaves (cilantro).. Serve with rice..

The sauce is made up of fresh garlic cloves, chilies, spring onions, sugar, salt, chicken stock, sesame oil, black vinegar, dry sherry. Heat wok and add the ingredients, heat till boil, simmer a few seconds and pour over meat drizzle with the red pepper oil..
