    Nonsense. Water should be boiling for tea and the pot should be warm. The man knows what he's doing.

    Boiling the water twice removes oxygen and concentrates any impurities in the water which all bad for tea making.


    I actually stick a little bit in kettle for pot warming than fill kettle again for making tae :)

    I agree. I find most of the rashers here have so much water that I'm boiling them rather than frying them when I put them in a pan on the stove. Put them in the grill pan, and the water drops to the bottom of the pan and they crisp up properly.

    a fry is the contents of the meal in my opinion, no matter how its cooked you end up with the same result....and maybe your arteries a little less clogged!

    Boiling the kettle twice? Not only is your energy consumption a kick in the face to poor old mother nature and you electricity bill boiling water twice ruins the water for tea making.

    When I make tea I like the water boiling, as in the second it clicks I pour in into the cup. This means I end boiling the kettle 2 or 3 times for a cup of tea.

    Fill kettle and walk away, come back kettle has clicked off while I was away so flick switch and boil again while standing ready to pour.

    Of course during the second boil I can get distracted so end up boiling it up again :)

    Them water boiler make crap tea because they never actually boil the water properly imo.

    Edit: I often warm the cup too which means boil the kettle, pour in water leave to heat the cup, then after a minute or so throw out that water reboil the kettle for the tea.

    Why is this even an argument? It's a mixed grill. Nothing has been fried....

    Screw it I'm going to start referring to a steak as a fry.

    My argument is that, although the ingredients to my meal were not cooked on a frying pan, the meal as a whole (rashers, sausages, eggs, pudding, toast etc.) is generally called a "fry".

    What say ye?

    .........no

    I'm gonna go with mixed grill, i still call it a fry at home, but the correct term is Mixed grill.

    Grill the bacon, and pudding.
    Fry the tomato, egg and mushrooms
    Deep fry the sausages if possible.

    Nah, grilled rashers are far superior to fried.

    Grilled rasher - nicely crispy fat
    Fried rasher - flabby, pale, chewy fat

    And if you don't prick the sausages, grilled sausages are just as good as fried.

    And finally, pudding is an oil sponge, MUCH better grilled.

    Grilling FTW.

    Maybe not! :) How do you stop the fat curling so it all touches the base of the pan? Because that's the only way to get the fat to crisp up in the pan.

    Going by your username, I'm guessing you're a rasher enthusiast?

    Try snipping through the rind with scissors at about 20mm intervals

    Rashers do taste better from the grill, pork just takes better to grilling. Sausages I can have them either way, but pudding needs to be done in the pan. The grill drys it out to much pudding should have moisture and be crumbly.

    Congratulations After Hours, ye've convinced me. I'm doing a fry in the morning.

    Rashers, sausages, mushrooms, pudding, egg, beans, tomato. Maybe even a hash brown or two. Pictures will be posted. Oh yes. Yes they will.

    I never thought I'd see the day when somebody was confused by the definition of a fry. :confused:
