Re: Good things from Blighty
Out of curiosity, where from? I only treid the mainstream places- walmart, crappy tire, kitchen basics (?)
It does have a handle on right? Like so...
11-Inch Non-Stick Pro Square Grill Pan | Hudson's Bay
On reflection, maybe it was the price that was holding me back...

Fresh eggs are key, have the water at a gentle boil,must enough but not enough to push the whites around. Another method to keep them from spreading is to use one of those silicon rings for fried eggs. They work for poached too.

Yup, just like the picture, with ridges and a handle. I think one was bought from Crappy Tire (I see 4 on their site right now ranging from $20 to $100).

But a buddy was admiring my chip pan on the weekend, if you could point in the direction of one of those...

A family member did buy one of those ActiFry things recently though, and I was surprised at how good the chips came out of it, with just 1 tbsp of oil. Might pick one of those up.

You just need a deep pan, a pound of lard, and some heat. Ooh and a slotted spoon for removal of the cooked delicacy. I think the baskets have caused a few fires when people don't have that eureka moment in time, that is before they put the basket of chips into the fat displacing said pound of now hot lard onto hot flames.
Whoops, there goes the kitchen.

Bloody northerners.
Baskets are for cissies.

Yah but only halves...
I think the rise of the electrified deep fat frier has put paid to the trusty chip pan on this side of the pond.

T-fal’s Actifry combines enjoyment and nutrition when cooking all of your favourite meals. It uses hot pulse air fry technology which is a new cooking technique that allows you to fry, grill and roast without the use of excessive amounts of oil. You can get that deep-fried taste and texture without the grease. Only T-fal’s Actifry patented cooking technology allows you to prepare a wide variety of better balanced and flavourful meals using only one spoon of oil. From crispy French fries and chicken wings to risottos, seafood, stir-frys… Actifry is much more than a simple air fryer!

My mother nearly burned the house down many years ago. The pan caught fire. She was going to put it under the tap. It was the first time I ever swore at her.
It took my dad quite a while to repaint the inside of the house.

Re: Good things from Blighty
Try using Pullet eggs, they're much easier to poach properly due in part to the smaller white to yolk ratio
