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.

30 minutes if you don't count the hour at the supermarket sourcing all of the ingredients, and then you also have someone to chop it all up and put it in little bowls on the worktop so that you can just chuck it in the pan.

Show quote history

I watched that 30 minute thing, once.
I was like yeah, if someone spends a half hour prepping all the ingredients beforehand it will take 30 minutes.
But if you add all the prepping shite it will take a full hour. Plus yet more bowls to bloody wash.
I enjoyed the naked chef stuff, but since then hes awful.

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? !?

Idea for sitcom: Jamie and Nigella find themselves living in a Toby Carvery. Initially crestfallen that their multimillion pound celebrity lifestyles have somehow been lost (‘how’ is never explained), they must now make a go of living together among the chafing dishes, gurning Tobies and heaving condiment tables … with hilarious consequences …

Exactly what I said to my DP - there is no way he washes up or cleans his own oven.

So irritating as that lamb looked delicious, but there's no way I'd make it as I couldn't face the cleaning up.

Interested in this thread?

I'm on the fence here. I quite like his recipes. I quite like he uses cheaper cuts of meat (albeit large ones) and his recipes are easy to follow.

I also like him using his voice to support better school meals.

I also like his family orientated/lack of scandal life.

Actually I think he's ok.

Roxy69 · 22/08/2022 21:31

To be honest I find all the 'celebrity' chefs too much. They have so much money to chuck around they have lost all sense of reason. One man I did think had a good vibe was on J O's recipe book programme, he devised good cheap food but of course he didn't win because of the 'celebrity' judges who went for some sort of Asian food, coffee table book. One that people flick through but never use. Twerps.

dolphinsarentcommon · 22/08/2022 21:32

Oh and I'd love to get pissed with nigella. And eat out of her fridge in my dressing gown.

Shoot me down.

Beelezebub · 22/08/2022 21:32

Don’t get me started on the wanky wankfest of ‘30’ minutes meals or ‘1’ pan meals from mr oliver.

He could turn beans on toast into something that uses every item of cookware you own and takes half a day minimum (after you’ve pre-soaked the dried beans for a day obv).

whynotwhatknot · 22/08/2022 21:34

can't stand him and his holier than thou attitude

alright for him to go round telling us what to eat he's a millionaire

Frenzi · 22/08/2022 21:35

I know him. He's an arse. Right tim.e right place that's all.

30 minute meals. Yep - if you have minions to prep and wash up after you.

Have to turn him off or I shout at the tv.

CanaryShoulderedThorn · 22/08/2022 21:36

He has nice kids, I met his DDs a while back. Very down to earth.

WhimsicalGubbins · 22/08/2022 21:36

Twonk has literally always been my favourite word ever! 😂 I’ve never heard anybody else say it before so thank you for using it in such a fabulously hilarious way

whynotwhatknot · 22/08/2022 21:36

oh and they proved you cant do his meals in 30 minutes

MrsRinaDecker · 22/08/2022 21:37

Me and ds were both saying the same thing! (Might have to show him this thread..)

agree . Or clean.
did you see the way he splashed that lemon juice around? It’ll be all over the walls.

RunAwayTurnAwayRunAwayTurnAway · 22/08/2022 21:39

I've always hated JO's style of cooking for blatantly disregarding the clean-up.

He cooks like someone who has never washed up in his life. Rage

Nat6999 · 22/08/2022 21:40

I can't stand him since he ruined full fat pop & especially Lucozade.

UncomfortableSofa · 22/08/2022 21:40

yonce · 22/08/2022 21:17

😂 I cannot stand the man!!! Watching him stick his hands made of thumbs into various meals and put them all onto a wanky serving apparatus is rage inducing for me. He definitely doesn't wash up!

"Hands made of thumbs."

It is his fault that Ribena is now nasty?

JustTheOneSwan · 22/08/2022 21:42

Nigella picks her nose.
I saw her wipe a bogey on George's arm in Australian Masterchef.

This thread has made my evening!

Deguster · 22/08/2022 21:43

See, I did something similar the night before the Nu-Clean folks were coming to fumigate the oven. (I knew I’d never be arsed to do it myself). They had the entire range oven to bits, steam cleaned all its orifices and accoutrements, and it STILL stinks of lamb fat whenever I switch it on.

He’s an absolute wet wipe.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 22/08/2022 21:44

Ribena, all squash and cordials are his fault, so I read on here

Hardbackwriter · 22/08/2022 21:13

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!

Known in our house as 30 minutes my arse.

CallmeMrsPricklepants · 22/08/2022 21:44

I can't stand him since I watched his show where he asked Italian elderly women to show him their amazing recipes and techniques and then in the same show mansplained the recipe back at them and ruined it in the process. The gall of the man!

LobeliaBaggins · 22/08/2022 21:46

Thread derail: are there any good veggie recipe books that genuinely take 30 minutes?
