Amazing things though.when meat is set on a tray how much fats exit Forget oil/margarine go straight for butter. Still cant beat a fillet pan fried in butter.Just enough so it doesnt stick. Bit like yourself ,fish n chips cooked in fats/oil(takeaways) get that uneasy stomach feeling.but our one around the corner ,new owner and only uses lard. What a difference |

Crumbed chicken thighs are worth the dosh on their own. Oven chips are good but have to be careful not to overdo them. Briscoes sell these top cook ovens on "special" umpteen times a year. About 60% of the cost at Leemings & Harvey Normans. In a nutshell, yep, I rate them ![]() |

That sounds good Bill, I saw them 'on special' at Briscoes and was wondering how they go. Especially for dead hens. |

Steps wrote:With children growing up, getting their own lives, leaving home while back, we got a smaller bench top oven. Lot less power, and more convirnt for the 2 of us. Even doing smaller cakes, chickens. Then got a Air fryer around 3 or 4 yrs go.. Even less power, and results exceptional over both oven and bench oven for most things. Espec on re heating fried foods. Along with the bench oven , toaster, espresso machine, toastee maker, soda stream kettle, all std fixtures in the butlers pantry. Big issue in our old kitchen with all these portable mini cookers is the bench/ shelf space and some being stored , carried onto the bench. |
