Family Budget Squeezed? Plug In To Eat Out

(NAPSA) - If the current economic situation has put a damper on the family's "eating out" budget, don't despair. It's now a cinch to turn out foods that may taste better than anything on a restaurant menu, and with very little effort.

The easy-to-use Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smokehouse, designed for outdoor use, features a push-button digital control panel that allows users to set the thermostat at a precise temperature, ranging from 100 to 275 degrees. A 24-hour digital timer has an automatic shutoff feature-and when the time has elapsed, the Smokehouse will keep food warm until it is removed, maintaining a temperature that ensures food safety.

Multiple racks make it easy to cook enough food for a few meals, which means it's a great time-saver for hectic weekdays. Cook an extra piece of salmon and use it as a tasty and healthy addition to a lunchtime salad; leftover flank steak can be thinly sliced and used for building a "mile-high" Dagwood-style sandwich. Smoked turkey or chicken make a mighty flavorful cold salad the second time around!

All these convenient features make it possible to start the evening meal before leaving the house in the morning. A marinade-injected pork butt, a spice-rubbed brisket or even luscious racks of ribs can be placed in the smoker. Adding a handful of wood chips to the side-loading wood chip tray adds a smoke flavor that can't be beat, and by dinnertime, a melt-in-your-mouth or falling-off-the-bone dinner can be served.

Originally available in 40-inch and 30-inch models with stainless steel and black finishes, there are now two new options. For those cooking for a smaller crowd, there is a 24-inch Tabletop model that has two cooking racks. For the outdoorsman, there is a 30-inch model that sports a Realtree(r) camouflage APG HD (All-Purpose Green High-Definition) door.

This recipe for smoked pork butt will rival any restaurant meal.

Ingredients:

• 7 lbs fresh pork butt
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• Wood chips
• Suggestion: apple or other fruit flavor

For Southern-style serving, pull pork apart and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce, fresh white bread and coleslaw.
