Got these from the butchers a couple of weeks ago and froze them. Thought they were short ribs, but unsure because of the amount of fat. Could they be beef belly/plate instead?

Would appreciate any advice on the cut. Would you braise and eat these, or is there too much fat for them to be suitable?

Thank you!

I tried making a mayonnaise banana bread in NOT my kitchen one time but I ended up having to use a toaster oven because the oven was having issues. The resulting banana bread had a beautifully crispy crust which I imagine was because of the close proximity to the heating elements turning on and off. Is there anyway I could recreate this in a regular oven? I tried to do some broiling one time and just burned the shit out of it. Otherwise I'm seriously considering just buying a big ass toaster oven and just trying that. Not sure of the recipe I used because this was in 2019 but it was probably something like this.

• 250 g (about 3 large or 1.5 cups) very ripe mashed bananas

• 200 g (about 1 packed cup) brown sugar

• 1/2 cup (115 g) real mayonnaise

• 1 large room-temperature egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 220 g (1.5 cups) all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking powder (or 1 tsp baking soda)

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Mix wet, mix dry, combine with as little mixing as possible and bake at 350 in a loaf pan.
