Note

I have never cooked anything ever totally haven't got a clue

So simple precise instructions are essential

Thanks for that very useful 😂

Although I live opposite to a good food rated pub so very easy option there

 

Maybe I should elaborate

I have two large chest freezers full of everything from aardvark to zebras

Sitting there

I sort of need to develop the skills to use it (hate wasting) so cook and eating all seems the best way

However I have never cooked anything !!!!!

Washing up not a problem if you can do it with cold water

 

Thanks for your reply

Yep. Got to be chicken and mushroom, and use the sachet of soy sauce!

Joke and apart, look on the forum lists here on PW, there's a link to some good recipes.

Also, the Scott Rea You-tube channel is good for game cooking if that's your thing...

Google smart recipes, it brilliant and simple, will even give you a shopping list once you have picked your meals

You want to focus on Stew/hotpot recipes, really simple....

 

2 large red onion sliced and fried in large pot with 2 oz butter to soften/carmalize but not burn put into bottom of casserole dish, salt and pepper.

 

Cube 1lb meat into 1 inch chunks or smaller, Brown meat (sear outsides) in same pot (not need to wash), add to casserole dish.

 

Add any other diced veges you like,

 

Add stock cube (commercial boiled bone reduction available in every supermarket/corner shop) to boiled water in pot to dissolve and then fill casserole dish with liquid just to cover up the meat.

 

Cover with 3 layers of sliced potato, salt and pepper.

 

Put into oven for at least 1 hour at 180 to 200.

 

Remove lid to brown for 10 minutes.

 

Enjoy

Ask grocer for Oxo cubes or stock pots, put a couple in the water with the ingredients...adds flavour!

Cold water or hot shouldn't matter,

It's a big electric cooking pot with adjustable temperature control knob and a lead and a mains plug,.....quite cheap to buy!

If the casserole is a bit thin (watery) when done and you like a thicker gravy, stir in a spoonful or two of bisto gravy mix.......

Chucken chicken.

1 Onion

1 pepper

1 courgette

Fresh Tomms vine are best handful.

1 carrot

1 sweet potato or 1 normal potatoe must boil normal one first.

Diced chicken,Turkey or sausage.

 

Cut everything up roughly stick in a bowl and cover in oil I use vegetable or olive,add seasoning, salt, pepper,chilli powder, chilly flakes are best

Or you could use any herbs.

 

Preheat the oven 220degc put all the contents of the bowl onto a baking tray center of oven and roast for around 45 min until it goes brown or meat is cooked.

 

You can add anything to this, I cook enough for 3-4 meals and freeze portions in old takeaway tubs, then micro wave,the gs ones are best.

 

If you every cook anything that's to watery or runny just add pasta,i always chuck it in casseroles.

Good luck.

Google "pannhaggelty"

 

Several variations

Pyrex dish....slice ingredients THINLY....layer into a greased dish....into the oven....finish under grill with a bit grated cheese on top.

Can be as simple as potatoes, onion & a meat of some sort. Bacon off-cuts or even fish would work too.

 

For non-oven cooking.

Pressure cooker and/or slow cooker.

 

Rice cookers are worth having too; just add water & rice, great results every time. Got mine from Chinese supermarket but have bought them for others from Aldi/Lidl. Try Argos too.

None of this olde skool **** from my childhood of changing the water several times!

 

Get in a charity shop & look for Student cook books....aimed at youngsters heading to university

I haven't tried it but I will.

 

Duck or goose for me is best to pan Fry the brest slice 1/4" thick lightly toast a pita bread buy a good bag of salad shove it in the put bread and add some kind of sauce, ie sweet chilly or maynaise for me.

 

Eggy bread is another easy snack, scramble eggs add salt and pepper,soak bread in the egg mix then fry.

 

Writing this is making me hungry.

How do you scramble eggs ? Haven't mastered frying them either

And can't eat salad sorry no teeth 😂

Honestly haven't got a clue

Need a book cooking for 6 year olds

Break 3 eggs into a bowl add salt and pepper a splash of milk and wish or beat with a fork until all the whites and yolks are mixed to the same colour. You can put that mix in a non stick pan and keep stiring until lite and fluffy.

 

Same principle for omelette but put in a frying pan and dont stair as much, you can add mushrooms, ham,cheese,tomatoes etc,if you put quite a bit of extras in it you may have to put under the grill to finish off, be careful if the frying pan handle is plastic.

[shoot and be safe]

First thing, work out what you have in freezer.

 

Next work out where the cooker is, usually the dalek looking thing in the kitchen.

 

Find pan or make your own.

 

Veg - boil in newly made pan till soft or oven roast in the dalek's belly.

 

Meat (sausage/bacon/steak)- put new pan on top of dalek, add a little oil (NOT ENGINE OIL) and shallow fry for a few minutes.

 

Meat joints roast for about 20min per pound of weight.

 

These are just from my own experiences and if all else fails, the pub across the road does great food or go to the chip shop.

 

All the best mate

Get with the 21st century grandad

 

Break the eggs into a small glass bowl. Mix.

Shove in the microwave for about 60 seconds on full.

Remove and mix again to break up the cooked pieces a little.

Shove in the microwave again for 20-30 seconds on full.

Remove & mix if needed, then allow to stand.

Serve on fresh toast or as a side dish to bacon, sausage, etc.

 

The advantage cooking them in the microwave?

A LOT less drama trying to clean a glass bowl compared to a pan - and it's easier/faster
