What the f uck are you having for Dinner thread..

Asian week in Lidl has some decent stuff, don't get me wrong they are not amazing like in a good restaurant but great to have them in a supermarket now and then.

 

I recently bought an air fryer, and the cooking results are fantastic, and it is around half cheaper to run than an oven. We are still experimenting, but one tip I can give is to buy some tins of new potatoes (they are very cheap), drain them and dry off, season with whatever you fancy (garlic, chili, salt, pepper etc), a splash of oil and cook in the air fryer for around 20 mins on 200C. They will turn into very crispy roasties, it is a bit trial and error how long they need but just keep your eye on them and cook to desired level.

 

How much can you cook in them at a time? a whole family e.g. 4 ppl, single person portion, a couple?

 

Cracking things aren't they? I've been doing air fried sprouts in ours. Bit of garlic, chilli, salt and pepper. They're spot on. Works great with broccoli and cauliflower too.

 

Have a ninja 15-1. Air frier/pressure cooker. Ultimate gadget

 

Yup - same.

 

Piri piri spatchcocked chicken tonight, shop bought though, can't be arsed.

 

Chucked some siracha and mayo on

 

Steak night part deux tonight.

got a chunky 10oz rib eye. Large shroom which will be filled with Stilton, tenderstem, garlic prawns, cauliflower cheese, M&S French fries and M&S onion rings. Will probably ruin it as I’ve popped to the boozer for a couple now.

tomorrow have the rents coming for dinner and have a leg of lamb to destroy.

 

Crispy sweet chilli chicken. Just plain rice, banging.

 

How is it crispy? Looks anything but crispy.

 

If you ‘velvet’ and cook before adding to the sauce. So was crispy.

 

Crispy standards have dropped on here Sweats, during your absence.

 

Are those onion rings crispy? Not sure what crispy is anymore.

 

Crispy

 

In all fairness M&S onion rings were better than any shop bought ovenable ones. They were decent. Their French fries are better than McCain ones too.

 

Just to prove I hadn’t burnt it

 

Thankfully the steak is cooked very well.

 

Homemade chicken pie for lunch. Rest was from packs at MandS
