    And the fried egg yolk has to be runny.

    boozy your insulting black / white pudding yet eat fat laden and horrid fried slice

    WTF hehe


    Mile, I have to freeze stuff.. do it on the day ya buy it.. i'll buy 24 rashers.. split em into 2's and fold put 4 in per bag, so I can use 2 a time. they keep for ages.. sausages I freeze, BUT you have to eat em within a month.

    I find they are sneaky with short dates at the supermarket sometimes , so I'm wary of that now.

    A lot of supermarkets now have that 'Bury Black Pudding Company' pack with four huge thick slices in a sealed pack. Perfect for chucking straight in the freezer, then taking out one or two as necessary. Same goes for Warburton's crumpets.

    Bacon is a pain in the @rse to freeze as you have to faff around with layers of baking paper or something to keep the rashers separate. I just buy multi-packs with small amounts in each pack. Left sealed in a fridge it usually has quite a life. Even opened, in an air-tight box in the fridge it's fine for nearly a week.

    just fold the rashers in 2, baking paper ? sod that .. and well leave to defrost over night when you want em again.. I'll take a pic later.. yep they have along shelf life, but well . I'll post a pic later of how I do em ...

    2 or 3 people can easily go thru 6 rashers.

    pancake day tomorrow :D then ash wenesday, so no meat for religious types like me (not really, but my folks are moreso and I always remember it). think I'll treat myself to the chippy.

    I thought your sandwich was actually that big. That would explain why you need 2 separate plates!

    two plates???

    He'd need two kitchens if those were to scale :lol:

    The problem when you post photos of that resolution is that you get to see every little detail, is that a stray pube I see?

    Normski you should get a Panini press since every meal you make no matter what it is ends up in a sandwich anyway.

    The press would cut out the middleman about 80% of the time for you prep work. With a panini press in most cases you won't even have to cook the filling just bung it in the bread squish the press down and there we go, big hot sandwiches :D

    No, there is nothing "stray" about that strategically-placed pube.

    That's those thingies that are two small grills facing each other upside-down? Look, I can't even operate my mother's automatic tin-can opener (I prefer the hand-cranked ones) so something complicated like a Panini press would surely be too much for me to handle :-(

    I figured out how to take smaller pics! (but keep that to yerselves)

    Panini presses are the ones with two flat plates. I got a mini George Foreman grill for doing burgers and now just end up using it to squidge sandwiches. You have to watch you don't knock the top layer sideways as you close it, but it works. Tiny bit posher than a knock-off of a Breville sandwich toaster, but not much.

    When my wife closed the cafe a couple of years back my mother in law swiped our industrial Panini Press never seen it since (I was annoyed cos' out of all the junk we had that was the one thing I wanted to keep, you could fit about 4 or 5 sarnies on it at once) and she doesn't even know where it is now, same with the $2000 Convection oven :(

    We did end up with an actual deepfreeze though, it's well handy although it takes up quite a bit of room in the garage.

    Anyway we have a fold over indoor griddle now which can be used as a George foreman type thing and a Panini Press, best piece of kitchen kit the missus ever purchased. The plates are non stick to the next level so you don't have to brush any oil on em' before you use em', no extra fat in teh foods :D

    One of my mates has a George Foreman, they're quite good as far as "making-post-pub-food-without-setting-yourself-on-fire" cuisine is concerned.

    Mind you, I end up looking at the "used fat collection" in that little trough, containing shards of crispy bacon, chicken and 2 week old sausage meat and thinking "that would be nice spread in a sandwich". :smile:

    Come to think of it, I think it's probably already been done a few times by ZnorX, looking at some of the last few pics..

    i kinda would lik esomething like that, but i dont think it'd get used that often. i mean i have a grill built into my oven, and dont see what the difference is appart from squashing the meat.

    If you live in a rented flat they normally expect you to clean the grill before you leave to get your deposit back. You don't have to if you've got your own grill, you can just use that instead, and move it to your new place complete with its 6 month old grease when you move out...

    My landlord left the receipt lying around from the last mobile oven-cleaning company they used as a not-so-subtle hint.

    i left my oven in a rented house, id bought it, but at the end everytime i turned it on it would produce black smoke from the caked in filth inside.


    that oven nearly killed me twice, so i was glad to be shot of it, i cleaned up the outside of it so it looked nice though.


    :p

    Murderer..! ;)

    Yep, you know you probably need to clean the thing when your whole flat is full of smoke, and you haven't even put any food in the oven yet. Ovens are a right git to clean though, I'd rather clean the toilet than the oven.
  • edited February 2012
    Put them on the highest gas mark open all the windows and doors and keep it on til' the smoke stops.

    Chances are that you'll just have to scrape the black stuff away without too much scrubbing after that.

    House'll stink for a day or two after though :D
