Thanks to Gizmo.

Think you can cook a dish that would win Master Top Iron Chef? Well here is the place to share. All the talk about food and good eating goes here. If you think a McAngus burger is gourmet, best you stay away.

Gizmo had the idea for a food forum, so here it is.

Great idea! I'll be the first to chip I with a receipe. Something I dish up quite often, great for those on a low budget....

1 can of baked beans
1 fork

enjoy!

Haha I literally lived off spag bowl for about 3 months not too long ago... was cheap and relatively yummy, plus you can chuck in some veg to make it a little more balanced. Infact you can do a few things with it haha... favourites would be chilly and curry powder (not together).

I'm just glad you didn't call it Arse Food. People might have thought it was some kind of suppository section :)

Awesome. Like Seiz I've gona a little nutz with cooking of late. But I tend to experiment with recipe's a lot more. I tend to think of something to cook, look up a recipe, glance over it once, think "hmmm, i've got that here, but don't have that, I'll replace it with this" and then add certain other things to taste. Surprisingly it tends to work more often than not.

However, I have had some dishes that didn't turn out so great.

Actually, come to think of it. I think Wobbly won the original series of My Restaurant rules way back in the early naughties. So he should be able to guide us along with the magical world of cunningl...errr.. culinar... errr... COOKING!!!

How do you do those markus??

I love cooking. The missus and I do it every chance we get. The latest thing was fresh pasta. We got a good result first time and it tasted amazing. Want to step it up now and do a lasagne with fresh pasta sheets and home made sauce.

I baked my 1st Apple pie on the weekend. I cheated and used puff pastry, but really, it was piss easy. A bit like a roast. Growing up you think it takes a top chef to make a roast dinner, then you have a crack and it is fucking easy!

Oh, and I poached eggs too. Again, a piece of piss. :yes:

I poach eggs all the time. Love 'em, the one thing I wanna know, is when you go out for a Breaky somewhere and order poached eggs, they normally come out looking like big testicles. How do they get that shape to them? I normally just crack the eggs into the shallow water in an egg ring. Is there a trick to doing that?

Some people put some vinegar in the water. That could help with them spreading. I've tasted the vinegar (which isn't enjoyable in my opinion) when I've had them out before though so I don't use it at home.

oh yeah I always use vinegar, not enough to overpower, but I quite like the hint of it in there. Spreading is not a problem. I'm happy with my poached eggs, they come out alright. It's just I have seen them this different shape and I have always wondered how they did it.

Just a hint slightly related. When Soft or Hard Boiling eggs, throw an unstruck match in the pot of boiling water. If any eggs crack, the sulfur somehow reacts with the egg white and contains it withing the shell so that you don't get egg white seeping out and foaming up your pan.

Poached eggs, I don't use vinegar, but a I do use a bit of salt in the water, I also don't use a ring. Enough water to cover the eggs, just below boiling point. The trick to the shape and not spreading is to use really fresh eggs, the older the eggs the more they spread. (eggs should have about 6 weeks useby date straight out of the chooks arse)

Yeah, fresher the better for nice round poached eggs. . . Pretty much any egg from Woolies, Coles, Aldi etc will be crap. Straight out of the chooks hole is the go!! Ain't that the truth chickenman!
