Thanks hally. You are awesome

My oven is an old St George that has a rotisserie, I've never used it as I've been worried about fat splattering. Maybe I need to get adventurous!

It even has a stop start timer so you could head out to church, come back and the roast would have started cooking all by itself and be ready for when you got home for Sunday lunch (seriously it's in the manual). Who cares about food poisoning right? LOL!

[Mrs Nesbit]

Oh I'm totally jealous of your oven!!!! I would love self cleaning oven.

[Halex]

It is good not as good as it sounds. You have to take everything out which includes the vertical racks, these are a pain to remove & replace

I might even clean it today!!!! Ready for tuesday

Re pork belly in milk, I don't have the cookbook but have only seen the recipe on Annabel Langbein's TV series-Free Range Cook. You first put the seasoned and scored pork belly in a hot oven ie 220-230°C for about 25 min to get the crackling crisp -turn the oven down to 160°C  then pour milk into the bottom of the roasting dish -High enough to cover the meat but not the crackling. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Discard the milk at the end of cooking. The meat is so tender and juicy, it just falls apart. If there are ever any leftovers, we shred the pork and use in breadrolls or wraps.

Have decided to do a rack of lamb instead. I have a busy afternoon so easier to do the rack with some nice sides.

How is everyone elses menu going?

We're having a very romantic meal  bangers and mash. We have a meeting at home at 7 so it needs to be something quick. I do love bangers and mash though.

Your Valentine's Day menu looks great Hally - the men in your lives will be very impressed.

Got the GS here today so not going to any trouble at all with meals - having home made mince pies, mashed potato, peas & carrot.  He has just made his Mum a heart shaped cake.
