    This is not rocket science. Cooking is basic chemistry and if you observe easily understood core rules and grasp that the application of heat is not a mysterious alchemy but common sense then you'll manage ok - just follow the steps.

    However, fucking around with eggs in a sauce and baking can be a total bastard and should be approached with respect, a clear head and experience.

    Maybe not to an oafish lump such as you but to a novice it needs stating not least because in other circumstances the learner might assume a solution is available because a variety of undesirable outcomes can indeed be retrieved by the addition of another ingredient e.g too much spicy heat can be ameliorated by the addition of a dairy product or vinegar, a split mayonnaise can be re-emulsified by the addition of water etc, but too much salt in your preparation and you are fucked.

    Now fuck off you piece of ape shit.

    One of my favourite uses of leftover lamb is in simple sandwiches, good white bread with lashings of butter. The lamb can be heated or left cold (my preference).

    ^I like the cold leftovers too, dipped into a really old recipe of homemade mayo that has condensed milk, mustard powder, salt, and vinegar. Standing over the sink with the remnants of a leg of lamb and a sharp knife dipping away is heaven.

    No longer! I was baking some marinated salmon fillets in foil wraps when the Otto exploded.

    It doesn't show in the pic, some glass blew out over the counter. Nothing like some red hot, razor sharp slivers of glass to get your attention.

    On the upside, it exploded on the opposite side from where I was standing. No one got hurt and the salmon was tightly wrapped and salvaged successfully.

    Blimey - some drama in the kitchen thread that isn't about Chitty poisoning his family with 'squid fingers'.

    Glad everything's OK.

    Cottage pie with a Chitty twist today methinks.

    Sausages, mushrooms and peas are going into the mix.

    Need a name for this new pie!

    Any ideas?

    The countdown is on one hour to go....

    Top tip for the Chitty Casserole is use the potato water for the gravy keep all that flavour and vitamins cocooned in the dish...

    Oops! Didn’t know that would happen. I’ve put a piece of fish in on foil uncovered in the air fryer. The fish cooked on top very fast but the bottom was still raw. Decided the air must circulate for the convection oven to perform properly.

    Do your kids sometimes beg you not to cook? Let us spend money on McDonalds?

    The potato water is a great idea.
    Some times I use corn starch to thicken the gravy. Aside from adding flavor to the gravy, it would also add starch and could help with thickening the gravy.
    I will try it next time

    Only if, like Joe and the 90 family, potatoes are virtually the only vegetable you eat.

    Surely water from steamed broccoli and carrots etc. is more nutritious.

    That must be rarer than hen's teeth in Stoke, though.
