Tonight I cooked..........

[anglo]

A new wife who can knock up a meal in a normal pot or pan.

If I had a new wife, I wouldn't be on here discussing pot and pans

Excellent come back Sir (doffs metaphorical hat).

 

[RoyalGreenJacket]

Nice work.

Beef or lamb?

Cheers.

Lean Beef, I'd have preferred Lamb, or even 20% fat Beef but that's all I had in at the time.

The Baharat seasoning makes it easy and taste amazing.

It's got to be done over hot coals though.

Good morning.
My Mrs is going to buy a slow cooker, what would you chefs recommend.

I'm as much a chef as a brain surgeon, but.....sort of decently competent...just.
At most.

Get one with an Auto option whatever you do.
The Auto gives the bowl a quick start to required temps then settles down to do it's job.
Use my two for decades( yes 2).
Saves a mint on batch cooking and cheaper cuts etc. I'd be boogered without them now.


Now our lad is gone it's just Wife and I recently got a wee 1.5 litre job to do our smaller stuff. Brill wee thing.

I'm doing a Tai soup in it just now. It'll get partially liquidised later.

TBH, the things are so cheap, there is a case for getting a little ' un and the usual 3/5 litre big boy.
With power bills hiking, you can cook a nice meal for two using the power of a light bulb for a few hours.

Good morning.

Instant Pot electric pressure cooker (or knock off thereof). Also works as a slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer etc. I rarely use our actual crock pot these days, the oval bowl is a pain in the arrse in the dishwasher, where the cylindrical shape of the pressure cooker vessel is each easier to deal with.

My dishwasher never complains.
Knows better.

Cleaned out the fridge of leftover beef, ham etc, which went in a Mexican-themed bake.

I used to dread that on my visits to friends in Canada.........


And on the seventh day........ the Canucks served all the shite they couldn't finish the previous week from the fridge........


And the Lord said.... "FFS, that's what dumpsters are for..... "

 

[Humble Tiller]

Venison loin, red wine sauce, crouton, mangetout, carrots and little potatoes tonight.

No charge, mukker.
Thought I'd get that in before anyone else does.

Yes, well, I’m not in Canada. No maple syrup was harmed in this production

Edited to add: I haven’t got a dumpster (or any other kind of external bin) either!

Please tell me that is not an optical illusion, and the plate actually is wider at the bottom than the top

 

[Karamoja]

Cottage pie made with leftover chili con carne. Topping was potato and swede mash.

Yes, it is an illusion. We may have plates modelled on an Allegro steering wheel, but they are symmetrical.

 

[Rapierman]

No apologies, just needed my fix

Thank you.

Oh, the Rice was a cheat - it's just Uncle Ben's 'Mixed Pepper' Rice.

The marinated Steaks and Miso Sauce was all Tesco's own too -

Agreed - cheap as chips these days -
