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 can’t believe I’m going to be defending Jamie Oliver here, but here I am. Jamie’s target market isn’t confident home cooks. His goal is to introduce new flavours styles of cooking to people who don’t cook often and don’t have confidence in the kitchen. If you don’t like his recipes or style of cooking that’s fine, but just move on and don’t watch him. I find him annoying so I don’t want him his shows.

Jamie Oliver is not personally responsible for ruining any soft drinks. He lobbied for a sugar tax, which I agree with. Sugary drinks are nutritionally void, non satiating, and teeth rotting. No-one needs sugary drinks and a tax payable on them designed to raise funds for sport in schools is a great idea. It was the drinks companies themselves who decided to replace sugar levels with artificial sweeteners so their products weren’t affected by it. It wasn’t mandatory and not all companies did it. If Rubén’s wanted to they could have kept their product as it was, and accepted there would be an extra tax to the customer, but they (not Jamie Oliver) decided to reformulate their product. And I find the deference to turkey twizzlers astonishing. I eat some crap, but turkey twizzlers are the worst kind of ultra processed food and children deserve far better in their school lunches than that.

Campaigning for better school food was a good thing - turkey twizzlers aren't even food imo.
Where it's gone a bit wrong is in the replacement of sugar with artificial sweetener, but that's not his fault. What should have happened is the encouragement to drink fewer sugary drinks, not to just replace pints of cola with a lower sugar version. There ought to have been balance in school, so a healthy main meal and then a bit of cake for pudding if you like, not remove anything with any flavour!

I think he's read this thread, I've just watched him asking Conker if he likes meatballs and saying he knows he will!
