has anyone said poached eggs yet?

#48

Those flavoured microwave pouches are good. I think the plain ones lack good flavour.

@ericthefourth we use a microwave rice cooker to do our rice. Buy that Waitrose wild rice usually otherwise brown rice as standard.

Even just oven chips. Always get some that are burnt and some that look like they’ve just about thawed

packs of oven chips as a concept utterly confuses me. just roast some potatoes cut into a ‘chip’ shape with some oil and salt (and herbs if you’re feeling fancy). just as nice but way cheaper.

  • not as nice
  • takes longer to make
  • you have to boil before doing that
#54
  • yes it is
  • takes about 45 minutes, not that bad
  • i never have
#55

takes me 20 mins, and is often cheaper than buying a packet of potatoes.

have a nice day.

I usually just stick a couple of waffles in the toaster instead

Mates, these are a proper game changer in the oven chip world:

Hmmm

I think the major difference here for me is that I may not have pototoes in and probably not the ‘best’ potato for doing this if I did.

Whereas, I can keep a pack of oven chips in the freezer and break them out whenever we decide that we’d like chips with tonight’s meal.

Our freezer is frankly full of stuff that you COULD make at home but would rather not spend the time doing.

We’ve got a chipper and a deep fat frier. Peel the potatoes, whack them through, the chipper, get them into the fryer. Mix of beef dripping and oil in the fryer you say? Don’t mind if I do.

No more oven chips for heroes like me.

Remember the day I discovered this. ‘Lifehack’ in the truest sense of the word.

#63

The dial, essential…

#64

mmm, well i use the same potatoes for this, roast, mash or baked potatoes. I’ve got a pack in the cupboard and break them out for whatever and save some freezer space…

seems like i’m on my own with this though

yeah you are - I have oven chips precisely because I don’t want to do any peeling/chopping

I do do this with sweet potato fries/ wedges though - you don’t need to peel them, and par boiling isn’t needed.
