AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE
Basic Iron Chef rules:
Be creative on your recipes.
It can be as simple as a new ABT or a recipe that would take a snooty waiter in a fancy-schmancy restaurant 10 minutes to describe.
At least 80% of the cook time must be done in the Bradley Smoker, grill or other outdoor cooking method. Up to 20% of the cook time can be done on the stove, oven.
Use any spices or pre-made BBQ sauces, or other goodies as you wish.
The recipe is not limited to just the 3 main ingredients. Your pantry is open and anything is fair game to be used in your recipe. As long as the meat and two other ingredients are in one dish. IE...one bite gets all three ingredients.
It can be breakfast, brunch, lunch, or supper, or midnight snack.
The Ingredients:
The Meat is: Chicken Thighs
The Others are: Onion (Your Choice of color) and Pear (s)
It is time to get your game on The turn in thread will open on Friday Oct 30 close on Monday 2 Nov. Winner announced on 6 Nov after the voting. The Turn in thread has been locked and will be unlocked on Friday the 30th of Oct

Yes, write up of recipe and pictures - ingredients, prep & plated dish
Here's a thread that has links to the turn-in threads from the three previous contests http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=12035.msg136142#msg136142
Well Linda, the ONLY reason you managed to have the success that you have had is because the GUYS were sitting at your door step hand feeding you info on what to do. On this you WILL be on your own, or the chef you have hired at your house. By the way, I have a pear tree, a onion tree, and a chicken tree, so there.
THE GUYS WILL NOT LET "SMOKIN MAMAS" out of the laundry room.
PS. That was a very nice rib roast.

You better watch out CRG, Caribou may very well have all three. She definitely has chickens, I bet she has onions in her garden and she has fruit trees (I just don't know what kinds)!
Have we mentioned - the girls are going to win ;D

# 1 -- I'm a woman, no one needed to teach me, I read the directions

Nevermind the windbags JGW!! The turn in that they are speaking of is the ICB IV Turn in Thread. I will unlock that thread on Oct 30th. At that time you can post your entry. The more information you post the better chance you have of winning the votes. Your turn in should be the Name of your entry, How you got the entry (Recipe you created) and pictures of the process and a final Plated shot. The plated shot will be placed with the other entries for ease of judging and voting. In the post Iron chef Bradley Miss Deb posted some of the prior ICB turn in threads.
In the beginning God created MAN, ya'll we created second to do the dishes, laundry, school car pools, etc.
BRIAN oh BRIAN you better not be reading this at home again or Momma will be telling you " You should get in on that, Oh wait you fell flat on your face last time!! Never mind Honey!!" ;D ;D

I like them anyway you can fix them.

I just have to say this:
A while after God created Adam; the Ark Angel walks in on God and tells him that he feels something is wrong with Adam. "I think Adam is sad, lonely and is spaced out all the time, God." The Ark Angel said. So God decided to go visit Adam.
God: "Why do you look so sad, Adam?"
Adam: "please don't get me wrong, God. I have enjoyed our walks in heaven, naming all the plants and animal and making plans for the future of the Universe. But I feel like something is missing, I feel incomplete".
God: "Okay Adam, I am going to create something for you. It would be there to serve your every need, sleeps with you every night, bares your children, obey all your orders, cooks your meals, cleans you house and bend over backwards to fulfill each and every one of your desires."
Adam: "Nice, but what is THAT going to cost me, God?"
"An arm and a leg". God replied
Adam thinks a bit and said: "God, what would I get for a RIB?" :D :D :D
HR
HR, you have any problem with getting any of those ingredients?
NO CRG I also have onions in my garden and a pear tree. Just planted the thighs last week though, hope they will be cookable by the 30th.

Too much smack talk and they want a divorce.

Worst part was I didn't even vote for myself.
If I would have voted for myself, I would have gotten one vote.
Okay...I have read all of this...and...well...uh...I have a number of comments...
1. I like the way the guys backed off, of course, I was doing laundry and dishes, so I could have mis-read some things.
2. Seems like the "boys" are backing out of this challenge...hmmmmm...(gotta think about that one a little more while I iron the clothes)
3. I was just thinking (while I had time to waste while I got the tires changed on my car)...some of the comments seem quite odd to me...but all of my aprons were in the wash...and I can't really think without my apron and mop...
But ya know I'm just a "girl"....
The aprons are on the de-wrinkle cycle in the dryer...so I may have more input later........................................I should be able to think then...please bear with me. :)
OhOh boys LQ is getting wound up. I'm heading for the hills. LOL.

I have a gas dryer MISTER...don't mess with me and my chores....ya know the little woman's work is never done...
(Not until he goes to sleep and the cast iron pan is available)
Oh my...did I say that out loud??? ;D
Did anyone hear the sound of "Hot Air" whinning thru this post?

(She was looking over my shoulder.)
We're just sitting here quietly. I'm typing. She's cleaning and polishing her S&W .357 Magnum, SS, 6" barrel, Pacymeyer grips. She's humming the tune from the "Woman Song" that Brian posted a YouTube link to.
Should I be worried?
naaa, just jump up and say "Damn are there anymore dishes for me to do"
Arnie...fear not...my bark is worse than CRG's "hot wind in the livingroom"...... ;D ;D ;D
Heck cousin, y'all know how them mountain girls can get. You just better sleep with one eye open fer a while.
I'm gonna stay out of this...especially with "Hippie Halloween Boy"...uh ya think????
I'm just gonna go clean the pool or something... ???

Deb,
Don't you get the feeling your life is just one deadline after another?
that's an understatement in my life ;D
I'm trying to figure out which cheese to do first. It will be a soft unripened cheese. I'm thinking maybe cream cheese.
I'm not happy with my iron chef entry though. Might need to rethink it and start over
Deb,
Cream cheese would be wonderful :) I know nothing about making cheese so it all sounds exciting to me.
Yeah, I'm not too sure about my entry either ???
If I think it might be a keeper I'll PM it to you and see what you think.
I'm using the smoker right now :)

They're just confused because we are actually talking about cooking up our entries.
Not complaining about members of the opposite sex like they do ;)
Boys, I cooked up my ICB entry Sunday for my family and I know my hubby liked it because he didn't list me for sale in the forum's want ads. :D

I am so sorry Carolyn. I thought you were kidding. But if you allow me a piece of old country advice. Take about 5 lemons clean them well with skin on. Cut them up , with skin, to small pieces and put them in a pot. Cover them with about one inch of water and bring them to a boil. KEEP BOILING FOR ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES and then sqeeze the outcome into a glass.
It would be great if you could drink that, it is kinda bitter and if not, then add a TBS of honey cover your self with a heavy blanket and sweat it out. You will be 80% better in the morning. You may have a side effect of sneezing, but it comes with the terrotery. It works for me every time.

I should have said... including myself, which I have done.
Thanks HR, I'll try that, just need to get some lemons :)
I'm not certain but I'm just guessing it's the swine flu since I had my regular flu shot already.
Woke up achy, chilled and coughing...all at once. But nothing terrible, just annoying.
My daughter got the H1N1 shot at school last week but the schools here have lots of kids sick with it.
Carolyn
Sorry to hear Carolyn...Get feeling better!....And Soon!!
C
Carolyn, I understand that one of the major H1N1 symptoms is trowing up and my understanding if you don't have that, then you don't have it.
I just have to get this off my chest. I hate what those pharmaceutical companies are doing to us to sell their drugs.
Hady
Oh good, then maybe I have some other bug :)
I got a cough, sore throat and fever but definitely no throwing up. :P

I suppose I better start thinking about what to do also.
Deb, Carolyn, and Linda, MY BAD! :-[ Mr. and I got back from camping, and I have not really looked at a lot of posts and in general have been a SLACKER on my beloved forum.
Deb, I told you I would gladly join in this competion. Lo and behold, I finally checked up on it today, and see that the deadline is tomorrow.
As I am making a dish for tomorrow's Halloween Treat day at work, and I am much too lazy to make a grocery run, I am opting out on this Iron Chef competition. :(
What really has got me down about the whole thing is that I cannot really join in on the 10.5 SMACK DOWN since I am not participating. :'(

I got mine posted :D :D :D
Sorry about all the how-two step pics but it was a little bit intricate to construct ;D
Carolyn
The How to Steps are what makes it interesting Looks Great Carolyn!!
WTS your on a ROLL with them Eggrolls!!!
Well, I'm still working on mine.
Carolyn, that looks great! You have one of those funny squashes you grew. Looks delicious.
WTS, I'd love to bite into one of those egg rolls. They look awesome.
This is day one for me and I'm still working on ingredients. One of those was smoked almonds. I went pretty close to this recipe from http://www.susanminor.org/forums/showthread.php?t=435, but added some heat in the form of Chipotle (of course). I didn't make very many; I've never done this before. Enough for my recipe and a few tastes. I had to beat my wife off with a stick before I got 'em cooled, dried and bagged for the fridge. Pic below.

Carolyn and WTS, after seeing ya'lls ICB post I have decided not to enter. They were awesome and I know
I could never top those. Great job to both of you two.
You have plenty of time Arnie. Entries can be posted until Monday morning when I get on the computer and create the voting poll. Probably around 8:30 am CST after I get the yardapes off to school.

C'mon CRG. One "happy face" isn't an appropriate response. Get your A$$ in gear and cook something! ;)
I'll see what I can do, but no guarantees.
My nephew has the lead in a high school play that we are going to tomorrow, and then we are having an early Thanksgiving/Christmas at our house on Sunday, since Scott's mom & dad will be leaving for Florida next weekend.
We will be smoking a pork butt and a brisket for Sunday's dinner; maybe I can sneak something else into the smoker.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! And keep the 10.5 SMACK TALK going!!!

Pork butt & brisket is only two racks, plenty of room for chicken thighs, pears & onions!
Let me see what I can do.
Chris is talking to Scott right now on the phone; he told Scott to tell me that you just slammed me.
He is trying to get the gals to turn on each other......typical tactic.
I might just have to call his little yard apes and get them on our side!
Vickie too!!!

Since you drug me into this. I see your whining that Scott is going to have a brisket and a pork butt in the Bradley for a family dinner. You forgot to mention about the OTHER Bradley that will be sitting there Idol. Yes I know you have TWO Bradleys. So now you have no excuse not to get in the ICB. I will not be entering because I DO NOT eat the nasty disease infested bird called CHICKEN unless I absolutely have to or there is something in it for me!!

Gee, how did my comment get turned into large font, red?
Anyway, things aren't going well. I put some cold smoke on some cranberries yesterday (Friday) and then upped the temp (140) to dehydrate them. I left them in all night. Rain was forecast for this afternoon. Naturally, when I got up this morning it was raining. I had a pretty wet OBS and cranberries that were rehydrating >:(

That stinks Arnie, I didn't think of that when I was bummed that I couldn't use my smoker this morning, your situation is worse. What's with the rain, it wasn't supposed to happen till much later...

No problem 10.5. I just didn't think of it as an earth-shattering comment. ;)
I can think of three things (dishes) I'd do.
And they'll all be good.
And I dearly like the smell of that cherry wood.
Joe, read the rules....(one bite and you have all three ingredients in your mouth)...then go for it.
Awesome job LindaCC, just another reason not to enter.......you guys are just too good.
CRG,
You got that right. Awesome job Linda! I am so glad I didn't enter. I like to avoid humiliation when I can.

Great entry, sounds and looks delish!

;D
After seeing the initial entries, I'm glad I didn't enter. Anything I might have come up with would have paled by comparison (whether I dropped it on the counter or not). The biggest problem is going to be deciding who to vote for. I'd use the "how much I drool when looking at the photos" test but my bucket is overflowing already.
My attempt for today doesn't look nearly as pretty as any of the actual entries.

Sorta the way I use to judge a hamburger. Hold it with one hand the whole time I ate it and then count the drip drops that ran down my elbow.
Will be having to leave to Seattle for a week, (where I do not have a Bradley). Can't wait to get back and try these other two entries for ICB. They both look amazing (Carolyn & WTS).

I agree!
Great combo of flavors Deb :)
Carolyn
Thanks, flavors just kind of fell into place (or fell out of a hat or something) ;D
The boy said, interesting sausage, yum :)
Carolyn - plan B looks much better than plan A ;D
Deb,
You have me wanting to make Ben and Jerry's french toast :D
Next time I make some ice cream, I'll have keep a little from the ice cream maker and use it.
Too bad it's dinner time!
Carolyn
WOW!!!!!!!!
I am speachless.
Awsome turn ins so far.
Wow Deb and Pachanga,
Both amazing. I will have my work cut out for me trying all these new wonderful creations. Makes my taste buds dance for a bite.
Pachanga, you created a feast not just a dish. You do need a Sombrero nap now.

All the Ben & Jerry's went into plan A >:( (except the spoonful for the cook, quality control & all you know) That's regular french toast :)
Impressive Pachenga!
Wow! Spectacular everybody! ;)
Man... all the entries are off the chart!
Great job!
Mike
Kudos to Pachenga!
You made a feast from the ingredients and it all looks great :)
Carolyn
With the Awesome entries so far it will be hard to pick ONE as the overall winner.
Pachanga, very creative. Wish my mind still worked like that. Very Nice Display of Talent.
Pachanga,
What CRG said.
This is disgusting >:( I've looked at what has been turned in. Mine won't be ready until tomorrow. I'm thinking of just throwing all of it into the garbage compactor or feeding it to the raccoons.
There are some really beautiful and creative dishes there. Pachanga, as usual, has lots of info and detail and I appreciate that.
I guess I just have to live and learn. I figure we'll all be for the better after the experience.
Arnie I have been asked to hold off for a little bit before posting a voting poll my another member so YOU still have time to post your entry. DO NOT TRASH your entry. I will try and put up the poll before I go to bed around 2pm CST for my 3 hour nap before work tonight. If Not I will post the poll Tuesday Morning.
For those that might complain that I am breaking the rules!!!! I will not tell someone who took the time and effort to create a dish that they cannot enter. This is not about winning or loosing it is about thinking outside the box and having some fun using our Bradley Smokers.
I have been informed that our ICB is not being done the correct way that we should be creating 3 courses with only one item, because that is what the Iron Chef does on TV. This is true BUT, In our Iron chef we only create one course. The Main Course. So we use 3 ingredients. It would be awful hard to create a dessert with a Pork Loin!! The true Iron chef is also done with CHEFs that own restaurants and cook PROFESSIONALLY. WE on the other hand are a bunch of backyard BBQers who are having fun and getting ourselves to think outside the box. The forum would get pretty boring if all we post is pulled pork, brisket and chicken over and over again. I am sorry if we are offending anyone by doing the ICBs the way that we are. The intent was to get us to try something different and do something new and use the Bradley to do it. If nothing more than to showcase the abilities of the Bradley Smoker to ourselves and others who visit the forum.
That is basically why I started the Iron Chef here and called it Iron Chef Bradley and not just Iron Chef because it is different. It has been adapted to fit us. I am open to to change if folks would like to try one ingredient and make three courses we can do one that way. I'm not against it.
Thanks for extending the entry time Chris.
We need more entries :)
I like the format myself. It's like Chopped which I enjoy more than Iron Chef because with 3 ingredients its a bit more of a challenge to make them work together.
That's my 2cents,
Carolyn
I like the format.
Don't wait on my entry.
It is not happening this round.
I way underestimated my schedule.
I wish you could postpone it for about 3 days. With helping my daughter buy her first house, helping my wife get ready for an antique show, working for no pay at the office, working at the fly shop, and the rain at times I could smoke I have not finished mine. Got some prep work done, but not the smoking. Someday, the planets will line up for me.
I am going to do my entry and if the deadline is over I will post in a regular post. I think it is something everybody would be able to make and enjoy.
Seems I have miscalculated on everything lately ( got 5 pork slabs brining and I will be gone when they are ready to smoke.....GEEZ)
Arnie, very nice........I'll take mine on a toasted sub roll.........plz pm it as fast as possible
Great job Arnie!
I love the smoked almonds going with it all yumma :)
I'm like CRG, but I want mine in a wrap! Or in one of Pagenga's homemade tortillas.
CRG, you can do it!
Carolyn
Thank you for all who have made comments on my entry. I appreciate being allowed to be a part of this.
Carolyn ** Puff Pastry, bacon and cream cheese - Get out of here.
WTS ** Deep fried egg rolls – who can pass that up
Linda ** Bacon Jackets on Chicken – how good is that
Deb ** Perfectly made sausage with fruit, cinnamon and chicken – get back
ArnieM ** A medley of flavor; fruits, nuts, vegetables and chicken in a salad – I can't take anymore.
Thank you all for your wonderful and creative ideas.
My wife has looked over the list and I have a lot of cooking to do. The menu for the next few weeks will keep pears, chicken thighs, and onions on my grocery list and the Bradley smoker smoking.
FlBentrider,
I believe in giving a man a job and then trust him to do the job. However you handle this competition is Ok with me. I am just happy to have participated. It was a very interesting exercise. Pears are not a staple ingredient in my home, but they will be purchased often from now on. My jalapeno poppers have taken on a whole new life. They were some of the best I have ever made. The chicken thigh drippings intensified the flavors of the beans. The Chile Rellenos were layered in flavors and the pears were a surprise in the salad. As you stated, this is about stepping out of the box.
I decided to put some further constraints on myself for fun but that was my choice. I also wanted to see how versatile the Bradley could be. The rules as you have stated them are fine as far as I am concerned or they can be tightened or loosened in the future. It is all about doing something different and unique for me. I also enjoy seeing what the intelligent people of this board decide to create. This is interesting and entertaining.
As far as leaving the thread open, I am with you, whatever you decide. I'm not going anywhere. What are a few hours or days. It's up to you. As I said, I believe in giving a man a job and then trust him to do the job.
Thanks for the idea and opening this up.
Good luck and slow smoking,
Pachanga

I totally agree....outside the box is so cool......we seem to get to stuck doing the same thing all the time, its nice to try something different. Not one to influence...I think Carolyn has this one down! ::)

I am not going to be turning in an entree to this particular smackdown, as I came home from work in a particularly tired and lazy mood and then I deep-fried the main ingredient in the entree. My bad.
Time to turn in my woman card........
My humble opinion on this competition is this: this is a FRIENDLY competition between people on this forum who love food: smoking it, preparing it, serving it.
With that said, if someone wants to create three courses with the ingredients, go for it. If someone wants to create one course with the ingredients, go for it again.
Arnie, please don't EVER be discouraged if you don't think your recipe "matches up" to others on the Forum. Ask 10.5. I almost did not submit my entree as it was not as pretty in presentation as the others.
However, thanks to 10.5, I realized that this "competition" is all about the joy of cooking! Period. And of course, the 10.5 smack talk. ;)
So, I will continue to compete in these contests - when I am not having a lazy day.
And of course, I will always look forward to the 10.5 SMACK TALK!!!!
In my opinion, every single dish that has been submitted thus far has garnered major bragging rights by their chefs!
Mrs.
It was a lot of fun and that's what we're here for. All of your entries looked to-die-for. You're not going to see this stuff on FoodNetwork.com unless they're spying on us.
I like the one bite gets it all format. Multiple courses with, maybe, chicken ice cream for desert - I dunno.
I agree the 'Chopped' format is better than the original Iron Chef. You have three ingredients - make 'em work together.
Everyone has done an awesome job. It will be a hard decision for the judges. But the true winner once again is the forum.
Am sorta a nite owl and at any given time during the nite there are 5, 10, 15, 20 guest on site on the forum. They will benefit
too.
Great Eats! My applause and a tip of my camo hat to each one of ya'll.
Voting Is Now Open and you may cast your vote as to whom you believe is the winner.
As is the norm I will refrain from casting my vote until the very end. As my vote will be the deciding vote should there be a tie. The turn in thread will be locked until the end of the voting at that time we may congratulate the winner. But looking at the entrie everyone is a winner in my book!!!
Also in the very last post I have grouped all of the final turn in pictures into one posting to make it easier to see them all side by side.
WHOSE CUISINE WILL REIN SUPREME?

:D :D :D
Just had to say that!
Great entry's everybody :)
And thanks to our nimble Chairman 10.5!
Carolyn
Carolyn ,
Perfect.
Pachanga
I'm was just looking at the entries again and they are all awesome.
I have a puff pastry question - do you think that you could do Carolyn's recipe and freeze before the baking with the puff pastry on the chicken? If the puff pastry can be refrozen it would make an awesome do ahead freezer item. If you have people coming over you could pop however many you needed out of the freezer and bake :)
Hi Deb!
Now that I'm an expert in puff pastry (having used this one time :D :D :D), I think you could do that.
The pastry has to be fully defrosted, to work with it and make a tight seal around its contents. I think refreezing it would not be a problem but I think you would want what ever you put in it fully cooked. My chicken went from the smoker almost fully cooked (and warm) and was finished in the oven during the 20mins of cooking.
Brushing the egg and water mixture could be done right before you bake them. I don't think they are pretty without it.
Carolyn
Woo! Hoo! I just noticed I've got one vote, and I did'nt even vote for myself. I'd make a very poor politican! ;D

You're doing OK WTS. We're both tied for last place. If you vote for me, I'll send you a chicken. If you can manage a second vote it's a pork butt. One more time and it's a brisket. Any more than that and I'll mail you a goat. ;D ;D

GAME OVER!!!! SEE YOU NEXT TIME
Good thing I didn't prepare an entry...finally got my camera from the office on Tuesday, but couldn't find the card reader to bring that home. I'd have really been ticked if I got DQ'd for not having pics up.
