Twiced Cooked.

[NoMercy]

What do people think of the concept of twice cooked / baked?

I find a whole multitude of foods are better when twice cooked. I always twice cook my roast potatoes and family go mad for them. I've twice-cooked lasagne, adding a second cheese sauce topping before the second cooking, and it turned out to be the best lasagne ever. Chilli con carne is infinitely better when defrosted and reheated, imo.

It's trendy to twice-bake a soufflé and even thrice cook chips.

Thoughts?

NoMercy, me, a Findus Crispy Pancake kind of woman? How very dare you! Watch it. Your claws are showing again.

[ummmm]

Naomi - that did make me chuckle :-)

[ummmm]

Not the claws comment...the crispy pancake comment...

[naomi24]

Me too, ummmm. :o)

Another chance to roast a feline Naomi.

Big question is.......
.....Only once?

The best chips have a second frying to brown and crisp them.

Also consider what the word biscuit means if you analyse it.

Naomi, I'm not saying YOU specifically are a Findus Crispy Pancake woman, I'm saying people who have no interest in food and how it's prepared shouldn't scoff at those who take it seriously.

You're extremely sensitive this morning. Trust me, my claws aren't out for you or anyone.

I'd like to hang around longer but I have a busy day ahead and I don't feel inclined to have to explain every single post I make.

So to all you lovely people - yes, Naomi, that include you - have a great day.

Ps... spare a thought for jnr. It's his 12 week jabs today :-(

I reckon most veg might benefit. Baked spuds and chips do.

For my part, I'm jealous of anyone who has the time, energy, and resources to devote to their food. :)

[naomi24]

NoMercy, As far as I can see no one has asked you to explain any post you’ve made…. and as for scoffing … enough said. ;o)

[Old_Geezer]

It's only the Alaska that bakes. Alaska is a good heat insulator.

[NoMercy]

Naomi, I wish I had the chance to scoff something! I've managed 3 coffees and 2 probiotic capsules this morning ;-)

[jim360]

Did you boil the water twice?

[NoMercy]

I'm far too impatient when it comes to coffee, Jim. :-)

[ummmm]

Jim...you should NEVER boil water twice :-D

[jennyjoan]

Actually you should always boil fresh water for a nice cuppa - never use the water already in the kettle.

If 'twice cooked' irritates, let's say second time around - things often improve, curries for example.

Done the potato double cook mainly due to space in the oven.

Good luck to you and little un for the jabs.

[Arrods]

You beat me to it Hopkirk - about 'biscuit' I mean!

[Hopkirk]

Tee hee.

Sometimes it makes more work. Curries and other strongly flavoured foods do benefit from reheating.
