THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[cookie1]

I popped into Aldi when I did my grocery shopping. Hey presto they had the Roti Makers. I bought one and DH has had a play.

I am back-tracking a bit here - Chookie, did you ever use that jackfruit?

[achookwoman]

Marina, I haven’t used it yet.  Glad it’s got a long useby date.  I actually saw a hamburger recipe today that looked ok.

looks good Cookie.
 

 Just thought I would let you know I have reduced my spatulas to $12 plus postage.   I use them every day in my thermies,

Thanks Robyn. I imagine it would be very handy. I’m scared of pressure cookers- I’m a chicken.

Me too cookie. That’s because I opened Mum’s when I was a kid and the chicken soup with pearl barley went everywhere!  I was more worried about it being on the ceiling and walls than what went on me but I don’t remember being told off.

Mum had soup go over walls and ceilings a few times too Judy. She even burnt herself once. I’m happy to go without one. 😀😀

At this stage of my life I wouldn’t even consider one cookie.

I also don’t want a pressure cooker of any sort.  I have more of a slow cook inclination. I have just spent the last 2 hours reading about fermentation.

I had a pressure cooker when the children were young and I was working and it always frightened me.  I brought it with me when we shifted and it is hiding in the back of a cupboard, I should get rid of it as I will never use it again.

I am glad I am not the only one wary of pressure cookers.  I had one a long time ago and I was OK with it. I bought a new one several years ago and, like many of you, I am also too scared to use it, I just don't trust it for some reason.  I use the pot for cooking stews or soups, but don't put the lid on.

But they are so fast. I have the Nu Wave electric one, but this new one cooks start to finish in 30 minutes in the microwave.. Just love it.

[Cuilidh]

You are right about the speed at which they cook, Obbie, I especially liked them for cooking beans, etc., but I am, nonetheless, still wary, which is a shame, but that is the way of it.

My SIL cooks most of her stuff in hers. I’m just 🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
