Do you need to precook fresh lasagne sheets?

[NutFree]

I've never used them before and I'm thinking it's gonna make the lasagne sloppy if I pre boil the sheets. I'm cooking right now so would appreciate if someone can help me soon! Thank you!

no

Thank you!

you're welcome

No, and don’t precook dried lasagne sheets either, just add an extra half can of water to the sauce

You don't need to pre cook the dried ones!

No I just add some more liquid and stand for a while

If they are fresh, I normally just pop them in a tray and pour boiling water on them for a couple of minutes.

Oh shit. I've just read that some of you pour some boiling water on them! I've made it all now!

i've never done anything to fresh lasagne and it's always worked fine.

We've never pre cooked or poured boiling water over the fresh lasagne sheets. The sauce will keep the sheets soft/cook them

mmmmmmmm freshly made lasagne. where do you live?

I haven't ever pre-cooked dried or fresh. I just make sure my sauce has a lot of liquid (wine) in it .

You seriously couldn’t have just googled that? It would have been infinitely quicker.

I don't pre-cook mine or soak them in water or anything BUT I make sure I seal the lasagna - so no gaps where the air can get in - get that top layer of cheese sauce all the way to the edges or you might end up with some crispy corners on the top layer!

No, just make sure there is enough sauce between the layers because that will help to cook them and keep them soft

Okay. It's all done now. And im picking the kids up from school now. I have only ever made lasagne once in my life a million years ago and I think it was too sloppy!

I'll let you know after school how it turns out!

Were there no instructions on the packet?

I buy my lasagne from Sainsbury’s it tells you to pour boiling water over and leave for a couple of minutes before layering up.

Interested to hear how yours turns out,sure it will be delicious.

If you think it may end up a little dry through lack of liquid, making little holes with a knife across the lasagne and pouring a few drops of boiled water in them will give the pasta the extra moisture.

No. You don't even need to pre cook dried ones of you make lasagne right

Also have never let it stand, poured water on them or anything else. Make sure your lasagne has enough liquid, 45mins in the oven and it's fine

I’ve never even precooked dry lasagne sheets! Surely one makes it with enough sauce to cook in the oven?

Thanks everyone. I can confirm it was absolutely fine for anyone else in the same situation as me!

heath48 yes I bought mine from sainsburys, the fresh ones.

@NutFree Thank you,I won’t bother with doing the boiling water next time,less of a faff.Glad it was good.
