Phil Silvers Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Top tip for delicious home made (sort of) cottage pie(ish).. Tin beef warmed on hob, add an oxo cube (genius), warm extra nice, heat mash in MICROWAVE (kiss my ass), add huge knob of lurpak or kerrigold (do not substitute for inferior as this stage is crucial), season the mash and the beef and add to fatboy pie dish, GENTLY scoop the delicious mash on top to cover and sprinkle some mature cheddar on top and grill until golden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t put beans in a microwave. Beans go in a pan and are cooked thoroughly to the point of burning to bring about reduction, that’s after you’ve mixed in the butter, salt/pepper, smoked paprika, chilli powder and chipotle chilli flakes. Microwaves are for reheating a kebab on a Sunday lunchtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a concoction: 3 weetabix. Warm a cup of milk for 2 or 2 and a half minutes. Pour onto the weetabix and mix it all up. It should be a bit milkier than you'd usually have weetabix. Then sprinkle a tea spoon of sugar on top ad mix that in. Then sprinkle with a cereal of your choice. Coco Pops works best imo. And then mix all that in too. It will look horrendous.

Chindie Posted May 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 28, 2020 My mom always had Weetabix with warm milk, although we never warmed the milk in a microwave. I've still got a saucepan she burnt the milk in once, never, ever quite got all of the burnt bits off the bottom. Don't really use that pan anymore... I always had Weetabix with warm water and milk added afterwards cold. And beans are cooked in a saucepan to the required consistency - heated up only for toast, reduced as much as possible for a fry up. My mom cooked beans in a frying on the hottest setting possible until they turned into a gloop that you literally scooped out. Like cooking beans to a soft peak, meringue style.

I’m thinking chocolate shreddies would work well. Yeah I like chocolate cereal so I'd be on board with that. Although shreddies might go a bit mushy. Part of the appeal is the cereal keeping a bi of a crunch amongst the soft weetabix Basically weetabix is too boring on it's own. So I used to add sugar. Then I thought adding cereal would sweeten it a bit without being as unhealthy as having sugar. Ad then somewhere down the line I threw caution to the wind and did both. The amount of milk is key. Too little and i becomes a dry stodgy mess. Too much and it's just all swimming around and is hard to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
