Maccbean Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The Aga is being fitted tomorrow, but probably won't be ready until Wednesday to cook on. I need help on what I can cook until then. Last night I cooked a ready made lasagne in the Microwave, and it was depressing ! Luckily I was able to cook lovely chips in my trusty Actifry so dinner wasn't a complete loss. Please does anyone have any idea of how I can sustain me and hubby on a microwave, Actifry and electric steamer for four days? Help, please!

Egluntyne Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 There are some lovely recipes in the Actifry book. If he takes you out one night, he should manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesleyH Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 You could steam some veggies, microwave some curry sauce - mix together, microwave some rice and chappatti's - veg curry is lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the sausage and bean recipe in the Actifry. Wasn't brilliant, really. The onions needed much longer to soften and the whole thing tasted like it hadn't had long enough to flavour. Think I'll keep it for chips in future, worth it just for that! Salmon, new potatoes and green beans in the steamer tonight, so at least that's simple!

Lesley Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Carl uses ours all the time for sausages - haven't tried the recipe with onions though. What a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccbean Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Have you noticed how much sausages shrink in the Actifry though? I did 968g of chips in it last week, when the were cooked they weighed 376g! That is some shrinkage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I always use my Actifry for sausages now....the chaps say they taste much better, and are cooked through, not cremated on the outside and raw in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
