THE POT ROAST CAME OUT LOVELY. Only problem was the thin aluminium pan burnt too much at the bottom. Even though I knew this from last time I attempted stewing in it, I still did it again and worse! The meat came out really good. It was just like the serving suggestion, actually.
I'm going to have to save up for a slow cooker like I had in my last house (but broke). They only cost £10 (price of a bag of drugs) but do I ever have £10 to spare..??
Also. Dur. Because the only proper saucepan I have is about half the size of that slowcooker I learnt to cook in the spices came out twice as strong. That was only 4xflat teaspoons of 4 various curry powders (so dull to use just the one!) + ginger + loads of paprika. Only after mulling in the fridge did it calm down, then it was OK.
I'm feeling very circumspect today and trying to envision a way out of my predicament I can actually do. Which is not easy.
You're posts keep making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteWell, you're a better cook then me.
ReplyDeleteThe grill, the frying pan, the mocrowave.
That's as far as I get.
If you put some clothes washing powder in the burned pan and soak it overnight the black stuff will come off easily. Sounds tasty!
ReplyDeleteKeep envisioning Gleds!
That roast sounds lovely, Gleds...spices and all.
ReplyDeleteGetting a burnt pot clean again can be done by putting a heap of baking soda in, adding water to cover the black and leaving overnight.
Good luck...on all fronts.
A slow cooker for £10? You need to tell me where I can get one of them!

Hi Gleds ~~ Well done on the Pot Roast -it is more a roast than a stew. I add a little water to one occasionally and if it cooks away, add a little more. I burn saucepans sometimes and I soak them in a little vinegar and water. The crockpot sounds cheap, I hope you can get one. I recently had an e mail from you but with no message. I keep hoping things have improved for you. Sorry about the keys, that's a worry amd you have enough of those. I hope they turn up. Look after yourself, my friend, With Best Wishes, Merle/
