One pan meals. A lamb thing.

It's cooked on a tray, in the oven. He's also used a pestle and mortar.
Then he twonked the lamb joint on the oven shelf so that all the fat dripped through, on to the tray below.

Then he splatted all that on to a wooden board, and used another pot for the juices.

Ladies and gentlemen more ladies, I present to you, The Man Who Doesn't Wash Up.

I always use his recipes as a very loose guide and only when I know what I’m doing.

Chewbecca · 22/08/2022 21:01

You are so right. Would you rather wash an oven shelf or a second pan?

Interested in this thread?

DH started complaining as soon as the mortar and pestle appeared. 🤣

Sparkletastic · 22/08/2022 21:01

God it looked bloody lovely though.

Chewbecca · 22/08/2022 21:02

And that lamb must’ve cost in the region of £30, to have it in a wrap felt very decadent!

Chewbecca · 22/08/2022 21:03

The fish pie had potential though.

AgnesNaismith · 22/08/2022 21:04

Did look amazing!! Having cooked his lamb on the rack above potatoes too I can confirm it fucks the whole oven.

Exactly! I was genuinely outraged.

Doesn't wash up, doesn't clean his own oven and doesn't have to buy joints of meat that fit in an air fryer because he can't afford to switch the oven on anymore.

I use my pestle and mortar daily though. It's a handy place to sling pens and hair clips.

He is a wise man. Maybe.

Yes!

It's not even JUST the shelf and the lower tray. Lamb is fatty! Imagine the splatter!

What is 'twonk'? Is it the similar to 'gnarly'?

NancyJoan · 22/08/2022 21:09

I can’t bear him, but wouldn’t you expect any one pan dish to also require a chopping board, knives, possibly a grater/pestle? I can’t think of many things where I’d just put things directly from the fridge or cupboard into the pan just using my hands. The dripping thru the oven shelf thing is revolting though.

JustTheOneSwan · 22/08/2022 21:09

I can't watch him. Or nigella.
"Use left over meat from Sunday lunch...."
Its not leftover that's a side of venison we don't live in Toby carvery who has that left? !?

Sparklingbrook · 22/08/2022 21:12

Nothing to do with the cooking but he owes my DS the price of an envelope and a first class stamp. DS sent off for his autograph when he was in primary and got nothing back. DS is now 22 and it still rankles.

I can't even watch him, and wouldn't dream if buying his book or cooking his horrible lamb. Grin

MuffinMcLayLikeABundleOfHay · 22/08/2022 21:12

He's a lamb-a-holic.

Twonk was my addition.
Think of it, if you will, as yet another thing to wash up. But not a pan.

I remember regularly being outraged over that for his 30 minute meals. Only 30 minutes if you're not the one who has to clean every pan in the kitchen afterwards. He seems to sometimes trash the place - chucking oil or salt everywhere, scattering things from a height - for the sake of it!

Eyesofdisarray · 22/08/2022 21:13

Can't watch him since he ruined my Christmas Dinner a few years ago

Inklingpot · 22/08/2022 21:13

I quite like him, but his huge fat tongue is a bit off-putting.

Chop on a chopping board =acceptable.
Tout your recipe as one pan and feck your cooked meal onto a board, before serving?

Bad Man.

And he opens all sorts of jars or grinds pepper with his sticky unwashed hands! He definitely does not do the cleaning.

hop321 · 22/08/2022 21:16

I have a wire rack for my meat that sits over the baking tray. Have to say that lamb fat makes the best roast potatoes underneath. Easy to wash up too.

God, his flamboyant drizzling of oil is a broken leg waiting to happen.

Conker is a joy though.
