in the oven I think it would be about 1 1/2 hours but I haven't done them in the oven for ages

sure someone else will be along in a min, my useless bit of guessing can act as a bump lol

Have you got a microwave? I cook them for 15 minutes in microwave and then 3/4 hr in the oven.

In just in oven probably 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

an hour, hour and a half max.

my DH cooks them in the microwave first then rubs butter into them, sprinkles with salt and pops them into the over for 15/20 minutes.

Quick and crispy skins.

i do mine 1h 20 mins in the oven, rubbed in oil and bit of salt, wrapped in alu foil.

AitchTwoOhOhSeven · 05/01/2007 13:26

i sometimes do that too, whatkatydidn'tdo. not quite as nice but pretty darned good for 20 mins work.

1-1.5 hrs I normally go for about 1.5 but put them in as soon as I turn the oven on sometimes put them in a at a lower temperature for 2 hours if it's a weekend cos it means I can squeeze a couple of drinks in at my local then come back and dinners all ready!

thanks folks

I put them in at 2pm on gas mark 4

rubbed olive oil onto them and a little salt. Hubby finishes at 4.30 I leave for work at 5.30 so should be a yummy tea

after three hours in the oven they should certainly have crispy skin!

Ditto TheArmadillo ... I cook them for 15 minutes in microwave and then 3/4 hr in the oven & they still go crispy
