Well Pete, I could fib and tell you that it's a complex concoction of spices and reduced stock but it's honestly just Heinz bbq sauce and some franks red hot mixed, then liberally brushed on for 10 mins in the oven, then a final brush on plating.

There are some brilliant shop bought barbecue sauces so I rarely make my own.

No problem about short cuts! The sous vide ribs you've posted have looked so appetising! I've got a few ribs waiting in the freezer for my Sansaire to be fired up!

Great stuff. Just remember to get rid of the membrane and you're good to go. They're not very temperature sensitive above 75 to 82. But if you go lower do go longer as there's a fair bit of tissue to break down.

Topside from the local butchers, £11 a kilo. Fan bloody tactic (pun intended), best beef I've ever had.

Jesus fking christ.

Yes, yes, 100x yes!!

[Pferdestarke]

The finest chicken dippers with a trio of sauces.

[DUMBO100]

Haha Peffers, it's good to know that you eat freezer food once in a while. I'm not quite as envious now

[Pferdestarke]

Peffers? I've been called a few things...

They were terrible.

Seriously.. That's not cooked!

Absolutely ridiculous!

I really hope this silly fad dies out and meat starts being cooked again!

I really hope this silly fad dies out and people stop overcooking and ruining meat.

I'm alive still, so it isn't undercooked, maybe it's just undercooked for some opinions. I can assure you it was most defienlty cooked, I put it in the oven for 30 minutes and rested it for 10.

Ridiculous? Give over. It's meat.

Rack of lamb.

If the lamb's father had been around to protect it, then you wouldn't have been able to have that.

So, your rack of lamb is due to lack of ram...

Get out. Now.

Thanks, very happy with those spuds, best I've done in some time. Quick boil, bash about in flour and roast.

Interesting might have to try that trick next time.

I thought everyone done it!

Once drained, leave for water to evaporate for a few mins, put back in pan, pour in flour, lid on and thrash about, not too much, but enough to 'fluff' the edges of the spuds and coat them in the flour. I sometimes through in a bit of rosemary, or use couscous instead of flour. Basted the hell out of these ones, must help too.

Semolina works well too. (Dry semolina of course!)

[Pferdestarke]

[Pixel-Snapper]

Nope. News to me.

The Gary Rhodes roast potato recipe uses flour as well.

That beef looks just how I like it. You got it pink from edge to edge - was that the reverse sear method?

Nope. Oven was hot (190) for the spuds, chucked the beef in a tray resting on carrots, and took it out 30 mins later.

I like most of my steaks still mooing. Just smack it 'til it ceases to moo and I'm happy.
Definitely a primal thing!

A gastropub chef said once - order your steak well done and you will get the crappiest cut they've got.
