    Newly retired Costco meat manager here. 2 things to remember
    1) Not all locations will carry all items due to different supply regions
    2) If you try these items and like them they may not be available all the time. I know the Duck, Burnt Ends & Lamb Shanks are definitely a limited availability item.
    Good video review of some new or returning items.

    I was watching one of your videos in which you used cling wrap. For a guy who loves Costco so much, I suggest you get cling wrap from Costco. It has a slide cutter. Makes super easy to use. I usually set it next to my cutting board pull out what I need without cutting. Put my meat or whatever on it, then slide the cutter and done. No fighting.

      For those who don't live near a Costco, BJ's has it too. 3,000 feet long x 1 foot wide. Cutter as well.

      I've used both BJ and Costco. Costco has less scrunched less usable wrap at the center than BJs but both cutters work fine while being different designs.

    Considering cost and quality at the same time, I have been buying that duck product for years. Of course there is no accounting for taste. Each person‘s taste buds are different. I usually serves the duck with hoisin sauce. It actually is a good combination. Further, I have served this stuff to many different people who have somewhat sophisticated palates and they are all very impressed by it. I use a Cuisinart griller and cricket for about 12 minutes. Both sides are cooked simultaneously and it leaves grill marks on the skin. Given what duck cost in a restaurant usually 30 or more dollars for an entrée the duck is very reasonable. In addition, I prefer it to chicken because it is, more flavorful

    • @theresa94010
      @theresa94010 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The duck is our family's favorite by far. It's frequently sold out so we always grab 3 or 4 packs when they are available. We like the fact that we can make our own sauce to serve with the duck. Will try Hoisin sauce the next time as you suggested. Orange marmalade with mustard, mixed with some hot water to thin it out some is also very good.

    The most processed food I buy at Costco is the thinly sliced NY steak for making my own jerky. For traveling I will buy the Tillamook no sugar added jerky. I keep my carb intake low so I almost never buy cooked food.

    Our Costco has a different brand of lamb thanks that has garlic and rosemary. I wrap the shank in foil and put in the oven, uncover for the last 5 minutes. We really like it served with parsnips. I would crisp up the duck in the oven. We buy rotisserie duck at the local Dutch market. It's kind of flabby but I crisp it up in the oven and it's very good then. Hard to hurt a duck!

  • @tonysid3563
    @tonysid3563 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Suggestion for the duck: try pan frying it skin side down for a few minutes to start the fat rendering before putting it in the oven. Throw together an orangey kind of sauce ... might work.

    • @blairhoughton7918
      @blairhoughton7918 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I do it in a convection oven and give it a minute or so past the max time so it's heated through and mostly crispy on the top. The salt is easily corrected at the table.

    Here in Hawaii, thankfully our Costco poke looks and probably taste much better than what you got. Your poke seems to be missing sliced sweet onions, sliced green onions and seaweed. They provide crunch and texture. Also a touch of Asian sesame oil is needed.

    @duboisad 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I was NOT a fan of the burnt ends. They're a Kirkland replacement for the Mission Hills burnt ends, which were fantastic. The thing I liked about those was they had amazing flavor (pre-saucing) even done in the microwave. I microwaved the Kirkland version and felt like I was eating a piece of beef that I had lightly seasoned and thrown in the oven until medium. Just very, very little flavor IMO. The Mission Hills version is far, far superior. I'll have to give the oven method a try, though I don't think that will have any effect on the flavor of the beef. Really underwhelmed with those.

    • @deniselongino6769
      @deniselongino6769 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Totally agree… the Kirkland replacement didn’t have near the flavor and had a ton of fat cap versus the Mission Hills… I’m not fond of paying that much per pound only to be paying for fat instead of beef!

    About to say when you said SC, you weren't at the Piney Grove Rd Costco outside of Columbia. Don't know if I've seen poke here. Probably hitting Costco tomorrow to stock up on ground beef and other items. There has definitely been an uptick in Asian foods though. Heavy emphasis on the frozen ones. Some great shrimp dumplings recently. I'm hoping we get the sushi sooner rather than later, but we'll have to wait and see. Saw the beef jerky on my last visit and debated hard, but it had sugar and I'm trying to wean myself off it.
    For the poke, you could buy frozen tuna, unthaw, dice, and make your own marinade. Plus here in Columbia there are a few fresh poke places so not sure it's worth it.

  • @robertrose9307

    The Wagyu jerky is good but it’s a small size bag and more expensive. Rather get another like Gold Coast which recently changed their formula and it’s so much better it’s amazing.
    What I really miss though is Perky Jerky that was basically soft and almost wet candy jerky.

    I bought the burnt ends recently and I outright DEFIED the cooking instructions! I added Bourbon and Brown Sugar Seasoning to mine... then BBQ sauce and I put them on the top shelf of my BBQ. First time I did them at a bit too high heat and the fat continued to render out... Which was still ok... second time I did them, I did at lower heat... and there were a few pieces my guests left on the plate for being too fatty... But their reaction was very good. Definitely a re-purchase item!

    We've become so lazy and used to processed pre-prepared foods that this is the result...meat from a bag. Lamb shank from a bag out of microwave.....I shudder to think of the texture and how old that meat is. We're so used to eating a 5 min meal with artificial flavors that most people have no idea what freshly cooked meat tastes like let alone how to cook it. We shop Costco weekly but honestly all this overly processed stuff is a hard pass. We even stopped buying store brand jerky 5 yrs ago and now only get ours through a butcher, it costs more yes but it also tastes night and day different.

    The duck is fire if you give it more heat and time, but the burnt ends we're getting in Arizona are garbage. A third of the weight is the sauce packet (yours didn't even have sauce, so Costco is using entirely different products in different places). The meat smells like fish, and is stringy in the way real burnt ends of brisket aren't. And the sauce is sad sugary cafeteria barbecue sauce. Just an awful experience.
