A fair bit on from this, and I've been using the air fryer a fair bit.

She did burgers in it tonight. Absolute gamechanger. She's still unaware of my support of the appliance.

Same boat here. The chips/wedges you can make in them are sublime. Decided it’s going to be a 10/15 year project to slowly turn face on the air fryer in the house.

I made onion gravy for the first time tonight, absolute game changer.

2 large onions fried

add to 500ml stock + 1 garlic clove and ground black pepper

Place in small casserole and cook at 160 for an hour in the oven

remove onions and blitz with a stick blender and add the stock and stir

A rare but decisive victory for shop bought over home made today as my brioche buns are set to be benched for Lidls finest for tonights burger blowout.

You might think these look ok, but they so fucking dense they puzzled astronomers everywhere as they came out of the oven, and satellites indicated the birth of a dwarf star in Larbert....

Anyway, buffalo wings followed by homemade burgers with black pudding, 8 hour caramelized onions and a blue cheese topping should more than compensate for that. 20210305_153411.jpeg

Made chicken tikka saag tonight. Served with rice and garlic and Coriander naan. A triumph if I do say so myself.

I see takeaway tins nearby! Only joking, that looks fantastic.

Ive been working on a recipe for Birria Tacos, essentially a 7/8hr slow cooked piece of brisket which is in a kind of consommé made with tomatoes, stock and different chillis and spices/herbs, its absolutely fantastic, shred it up and stick it on home made tortillas (picked up a press in the states) with some cheese and its a great dinner.

Speaking of cookbooks, I bought the orange Pinch of Nom book after reading the hype on here and I'm a little disappointed. I've made the Lemon and Pepper Chicken Tagliatelle, Orange Chicken, Crispy Turkey Chinese Wraps and Jambalaya so far, and I wouldn't give any of them more than 6/10. Quite dry and bland. Are there any other recipes in the orange one that are a must try?

Yeah I’ve made a few things out the blue book I’ve bought and while they’ve been decent enough, none have been particularly noteworthy. Still going to try a few more things before making final judgement but so far a bit disappointed after the reviews on here.

Talk us through the caramelised onions bit. I'm all ears.

I sous vide them this time, so a quick blast in the frying pan with butter, salt pepper and honey then into a vac bag then water bath at 85 for several hours. Having said that, if you do the same in a pot and get a lid on with the minimum heat under it for 2 or 3 hours the result is probably as good if not better. Time is the key. A decent caramelized onion takes linger to cook than one might think. 20 minutes to half an hour might seem like plenty but it just isnt
