Would love to get an Airfrier but as there’s usually 6 of us, I don’t think they make them big enough.

Home made chicken goujons with Airfryer chips and coleslaw.

I have the philips xxl one and it would be tight doing chips for 6 alright. It's so quick though you could do them in two batches.

It's handy for so much more though. I can fit a 1.5kg whole chicken in mine cooks in 45 minutes. Cook tandoori chicken pieces in 12 minutes. Par baked bread rolls in 7min no preheating. Handy in the morning when I've forgotten I've no fresh bread for the school lunches! Everything comes out crispier than I could get it in the oven.

Made a brisket chilli con carne in the instant pot yesterday evening, and enjoyed it's leftovers for today's dinner which I served with skin left on mashed potatoes, was really tasty and real good comfort grub.

People used to give me weird looks when I'd ask for mash with a lasagne. There's probably very few foods I wouldn't happily add mash to. It's my favourite food hands down.

I remember the odd looks I got from my brother in law when he first seen it, he's now a fully converted mash with chilli guy now!

Some Bresaola and bread which was damm tasty

Space Dog · 28-03-2020 07:25PM

Chicken Teryaki and edamame

Freezer clear to free space for todays week shop has lead to tonights dinner being ghetto katsu chicken

Normally breaded goujons from the local butcher, chips and a frozen portion of katsu sauce I made a few months ago

Excess goujons and further chips will likely be had with ketchup or fritesaus (that I smuggle back from the Netherlands any time I'm there) after a few drinks tonight :pac:

How does the katsu sauce come back from being frozen?

Surprisingly well. I freeze it in IKEA ziploc bags flattened (do this with curry base sauces also) and you just cut the bag off the slab of sauce, break it up a bit, put in a saucepan and throw some boiling water over it. Then finish melting/reheating

Beef short ribs and wings. Ribs slow cooked in ginger, garlic, soy, hoisin, star anise, cinnamon, stock etc. Wings baked in similar with some sambel oelek in there. The ribs turned out great. Fall off the bone goodness.

Gloomtastic! · 29-03-2020 10:50AM

^ Those wings almost look healthy!

Don't they look amazing.
Put me right off my boring tuna salad

the beer revolu · 29-03-2020 11:30AM

Had wings last night too.
Frank's hotsauce, butter, tamarind extract, a little sugar and finely chopped wild leek.

Had a slaw made from Jerusalem artichoke, carrot, apple and ginger.

Good old spaghetti Bolognese.

Dizzyblonde · 31-03-2020 06:55PM

Chicken pie made with leftovers from last night's roast chicken.
(@ the beer revolu - I know, I know, but we can't have pastry under as well as over at our age!

: )

Ryath · 31-03-2020 07:41PM

Open Steak sambo with the last of my focaccia. Shouldn't have had so much focaccia for lunch and it could have had a lid! This is my wife's one, mine wasn't quite so dainty and photogenic looking!

Dizzyblonde · 01-04-2020 07:26PM

We had pizzas tonight.

The chan chan man · 01-04-2020 09:25PM

Dry aged rib eye on lumpwood charcoal, corn on the cob, caramelised red onion and air fryer chips. With loads of quarantine cocktails!!

cefh17 · 01-04-2020 09:48PM

Made smash burgers this evening, did the buns from scratch too, they turned out nicer than I thought they would compared to shop bought

The chan chan man · 01-04-2020 11:21PM

That burger looks class! Whats on it? Did you cook in a pan or bbq?

Thanks!

Just the burger, cheese, pickles and (on my gf's burger only) ketchup/mayo/relish mix.

Did it in a cast iron pan ripping hot, smash em in and cook like 90% on one side, flip and add cheese and put a lid on to steam it to make it melt
