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.

My husband (who does the washing up in our house) was shouting at the screen!

@Inklingpot @bigbeautifulmonster

youre maybe too young to remember Viz

‘the Viz cartoon where Jamie Oliver & ‘chums’ get stranded after a plane crash in the Andes. They cook the pilot to survive, but first he goes to Sainsburys, on his fucking Vespa, to get “the makings”. Up in the Andes. Then he realises he’s not got the right wine to go with the pilot meal, so he scrapes it into the bin, and they all eat Jamies immense tongue instead.’

i wish I could locate the actual comic strip, sticks in my mind 30 years later 😭

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? !?

See, I'm the opposite. I get frustrated by the 'budget' cooking guides that don't have leftovers from a big meal or roast, and social media types/influencers that budget push meal plans where no ingredient is repeated two days running. If you're going to heat the oven up for a roast, make it worthwhile and do enough for a day or two of leftovers cooking.

Interested in this thread?

Did anyone else think that the C4 trailer voice over said "One pound meals"?

That’s exactly what I thought and I wondered what the hell he could cook for a quid.
Most of my meals are one pot anyway and I don’t think I’ve ever watched a cookery programme.

I have copied this for years when doing a roast, after seeing him first do it for roasting duck. Whether or not it still counts as one-pan is up for debate, but it works and the veggies/roasties below are the best ever.

I'm sure that many years ago I had a roasing tin with a wire tray on stilts that stood inside it which was ideal for doing things like this, it's not a particularly new idea.

YesitsBess · 22/08/2022 22:04

Hang on….hang on, what the fuck has Jamie Oliver done to Ribena? I get a craving for it bi-annually and if he’s done anything to it I am going to personally hunt him down and bink him on the head with a bottle.

whereamu · 22/08/2022 22:04

Just get a big tray and put the lamb in with the potatoes. Why does it have to be on a wire rack above?

TwoMonthsOff · 22/08/2022 22:04

@bigbeautifulmonster
it was so funny
I still remeber the drawings wish I had kept it 😭

Yayayaya20 · 22/08/2022 22:05

Did anyone see him smiling indulgently as his kid pissed up the wall outside the kitchen the other day?

I don’t have boys so maybe I don’t get it but come on, surely they have a few toilets in their mansion!

Eyesofdisarray · 22/08/2022 21:20

Yep
Greasy horrible gravy 🤢 and an overcooked bird

Oh God, I remember using star anise in the gravy. Luckily, I tasted it before pouring it all over the dinner. Wouldn’t have been happy if I’d ruined my favourite meal of the year!

JustTheOneSwan · 22/08/2022 22:07

I'm a big fan of cook once eat twice myself Dog it's just the unrealistic cut they pull out.
Best your getting from our three quid roast (not three bird, that's different) is two crispy wings and the Parsons nose. They have a brace of pheasants and some spare Dodo breasts.
James Martin would rustle you up a feast with the neck and giblets tho he's my favourite💗

To drip all over the place

I haven’t watched this yet, but I look forward to watching it with the commentary from this thread running through my head as I do!

My fastest ever time for a JO 30 Minute Meal was an hour and twenty minutes.

Oh, I know it's not new.
Like you I had a roasting pan with a wire tray on stilts, like you it was many years ago and gawd knows where it is now! I haven't lost the oven shelf (yet).

(it's probably rusting in piece, like every Lakeland roasting pan I've ever bought)

He's completely out of touch. In one of his 'budget' shows he went to this sprawling concrete jungle of a council estate and told the residents good food needn't be expensive, they could forage for wild thyme and sorrel Hmm

I deliver food parcels to those who have fallen through every net possible.

The idea of one pot cooking has its advantages but…….

Some haven’t even got one pot. We’ve helped here - but you get the picture.

Not sure if they can afford proper meat and our parcels don’t include that - we can’t afford that/no one has donated it yet.

Wearing my at home hat…… being vegan means old food is just that - no rancid old fat, meat etc. No lamb having the last laugh by spattering itself over the inside of your cooker!

PyongyangKipperbang · 22/08/2022 22:16

I cant help wondering if he is really that bloody deluded or whether he has chosen the Jeremy Clarkson route of playing up to his "character" in order to get viewers.

JC, I know he isnt popular on here, became a carictature of himself in order to promote the brand and I cant help wondering if JO isnt doing the same because people watch in a "What the hell is the self obsessed deluded dickhead doing now?"

PyongyangKipperbang · 22/08/2022 22:19

The man is a weapons grade wanker.

This thread demonstrates why Delia is an absolute goddess in my eyes. I've still got a 1970s copy of 'Frugal Food'. You always know that Delia did the washing up, and would have tutted at people men who 'leave dishes to soak'.

Oh god we said the same about having to clean out the oven after that lamb, I hate washing up but even I would rather wash up a roasting tray than clean the entire oven. And why is he throwing paprika from the cupboard instead of taking to the actual dish.

And I'm jealous that his children would even contemplate salad or aubergine
