Good things from Blighty
 

I used my £5 grillpan to do some bangers this morning, cooked them perfectly, the ridges allowed me to grill them evenly and the handle never got too hot to hold.

I thought it appropriate the first use was some cheapo sobeys sausages, reduced to $1.50 for 6, and tasting overpriced for that.

My chip pan (£8) has also been going great guns.

When will oh canada populise these wonders of the modern kitchen?

I bought 5 packs of these when I was last back in the UK. What I wouldn't do for the Dollarama equivalent....

Why can you only get orange clubs here?

Fruit and mint would be nice once in a while.

We picked up a proper egg poacher, does 4 eggs at a time. As Tony Tiger would say. "It's Greaaat"

Re: Good things from Blighty
 

Do the four dishes go in and out separately? We have one that does three but they're in the same insert thingy. Make three and there's a danger of the other two coming out when you try to tip one out. :(

A proper egg poacher is gently boiling water. Those poaching pans turn the eggs to rubber.

Re: Good things from Blighty
 

Is a pan you fill with water and has 4 separate plastic cups that hang down into the water, it does make great eggs. Honest !! :@)

Re: Good things from Blighty
 

I know the pan of which you speak. Just cook them properly in water. No need for a silly pan

Re: Good things from Blighty
 

Unfortunately I have virtually stopped eating eggs now, but if I have one in the near future I will try in a pan only, usually tho it gets messy.

Re: Good things from Blighty
 

Saw the weird frying pan type on special in Canadian Tire the other day, but clearly that's not what you're talking about. Not a poached egg (or really any egg) fan at all myself. And not sure who to believe on the health front.

One UK thing I wish I'd brought back in bulk is hi-fruit squash.

Never had much luck with the traditional method, despite tips from Delia.

Silicon egg poaching cups work reasonably well, but yes, eggs come out a bit rubbery.

I have 2 grillpans, both bought here in Canada...
