my buttocks hurt Member 337, 2119 posts SQ 300, BP 140, DL 305745.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq | drew said: i much prefer the oven, i think it tastes better I concur; however, for the purposes of putting a bit of meat in and leaving it overnight I find the slow cooker does a decent job with less washing up and lower cost. If I was entertaining I'd more likely go oven. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10032 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I find I only really use my slow cooker for making stock. Even that may change now I have a pressure cooker. Been a good, good eating week. Tuesday night, a curry after a school concert. Wednesday night, "around the world in eight-ish steaks" at Drunken Butcher. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Re7lq-VX40s/VHpSeUxkOUI/AAAAAAAABNg/Z8ribNI0ZF4/s800/PhotoGrid_1417037660505.jpg Pie probably the highlight. Thursday, game night at the Yew Tree. A lot of slight over-cooking, but nothing serious and all perfectly pleasant. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Y1qMO8Vu9jE/VHpS8vXkUaI/AAAAAAAABNw/nYZXA1-jxe4/s800/PhotoGrid_1417130691516.jpg Thursday, back to Drunken Butcher, this time in three-piece, tie, waistcoat with watch and fob, and vintage cufflinks for a twenties-themed night. Especially impressed with the salmon Wellington, which I had seconds of despite the fact I couldn't give a s**t about cooked salmon. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B3VAdNQpGZo/VHpSzShEaNI/AAAAAAAABNo/UCVi6MKiCOk/s800/PhotoGrid_1417210757702.jpg And tonight, with the Drunken Butcher (off duty), one of the staff writers on Manchester Confidential, and the owners of the Splendid Sausage Company, went to Guerrilla Eats (street food event) for the Bangers& Bacon chef's table. Five courses: bacon and liver pate, bacon jam, cured ham, spiced sausage, toast; bacon and pumpkin soup; Marmite bacon, poached egg, hollandaise, crumpet bread; sausage-stuffed pork loin wrapped in treacle bacon with truffle mash, onion puree, etc; and "turkey" brownie, bacon banana bourbon milkshake, and bacon peanut macaron. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1X__Kqh1OUU/VHpTGHN9iDI/AAAAAAAABN4/DKT7m8PP2S4/s800/PhotoGrid_1417296310289.jpg The main, the bacon jam, the "Benedict", and the insanely good pate were the highlights. Then, greedy man that I am, I did the rounds and had some ok, over-battered, chicken-fried bacon, a decent nduja and rocket pizza, and, from Dirty Food Revolution, a bacon cheeseburger (with lovely sweet potato fries with vanilla salt) that was as juicy, messy, and delicious as any burger in memory. As flat-top burgers finished under a cloche go, as good as any I've had, and I've had a few. I'll be seeking them out again. Quite full. | ||

I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | I've been thinking about getting a pressure cooker for stocks and stews, but I'm scared ill destroy my block of flats. What do you think to it? | ||

I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | My mum still uses hers. I just wonder if it can turn a 5 hr stew into a 90 min stew or whatever Meaning rather than cook the day before I can cook it that evening | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10032 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | There's a lot of discussion with this and stocks. Consensus seems to be different but not worse, some ways better - you get the tenderisation but not quite all of the more subtle long slow-cooking flavours; but you retain in the sealed pot all those high top notes that cone off and make your house smell good when conventionally cooking. | ||

Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | KFC bargain bucket. (Solo, although my flatmate gave the puppy eyes so I had to give him a drumstick and a few chips). Then a few pints of Caffreys; a number which I can't remember of whiskey and cokes; then a portion of egg fried from the Chinese I passed on the way home! I didn't have much early on in the day so it balances out as nutritious I think. | ||

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | another kg of pulled pork + the same stuff as yesterday. also a tin of rice pudding. This stuff really is under rated. it costs 15p per tin and with a spoon full of jam is just beautiful, especially at this time of year. | ||
