Yey, Jamie Is Back With His One Pan Wonders !!!

[Gina M]

On Monday night, channel 4. I love a one pan cook when I am in the MH. It had better be as easy and quick as he claims. IE chuck everything in a pan and leave to cook then apply to face (the food not the pan!!) and wash up just one pan afterwards

wash up just one pan afterwards

Hi Ginam.
" One pan " ? Sounds like you have a set........... Sheer LUXURY !!. We cook in/on an old Renault Master hub cap.i dream of the day we can have just one pan inside the van. ( I put the hub cap back on while we travel.)

I used to have loads of pans as I love cooking, but now I don't bother. I just download recipes for one pan, one tray bake recipes, easy peasy. Buy fresh ingredients locally, chuck in tray or pan in oven for about 45 minutes. Done

Have to say I was seduced by Jamie Olivers other shows, 30 minute meals and 15 minute meals which usually involved 15 or 30 mins of cooking but an hour of clearing and washing up afterwards

That's what most chefs eat when they get home late at night

I agree with you completely! We now have a VW which is smaller than our last van so storage space needs to be considered carefully. We have decluttered our kitchen and now just down to one kettle, one saucepan and one XL Ridge Monkey. My wife has adapted many recipes to 'one pot' ............... we eat well and never feel short changed The full on roasts and fry ups can wait until we get home

One pan wonder but you need several bowls , cups, jugs, to prep it.
Despite showing Andrea the size of the drawer she has for cooking utensils in the van , she still insists on a full set of pans and enough place sets for several hundred people.

Hubcaps, luxury, when I cook int van, I use tin cans saved from last meal. If we had hubcaps I consider misen loaded, oh that’s another thread.

Got sucked in again. Made his Dukkah one pan lamb on Sunday afternoon. One pan to wash, wash twice pestle and mortar and wooden chopping board, wash carving knife and two forks, scrub down worktop, spent half an hour crushing spices, garlic and oil. Clean oven and rack due to splashes, hands covered in spice mix to the taps and cupboard doors had to clean them all down, then had to use nail brush on nails to get gunk out of them. After it is cooked warm flat breads then fill with the lamb, take a bite and it squirts all over my top. The only thing I liked was the taste of the aubergines. And the only part of the lamb I could eat was the outside as the inside of the leg was raw. I was in bed by 8 in a stupor and watching Millon pound motorhomes, Anyway, yesterday put the raw remains and spices in the slow cooker and created a lovely Egyptian lamb and aubergine stew, eaten with a flatbread and the rest is in the freezer. And breath Gina.

You can do a full on Roast in one pan, which I have done often when away from home for a few months. A double skillet and there is very little you can't cook.

My double skillet was of course stolen with the van. So it was one of the first things that I replaced. Now we've got a van to put it in! Keep on camping!!

 

[Gina M]

Nice one, keep on cooking. I hate skillets.

I'd feel worried if I could could actually muster up enough emotion to hate a skillet

The lady that demos the double skillet at Warners shows & you tube, looks the same, and sounds the same as our curtain twitcher neighbour over the road, it makes me laugh, she doesn't miss a trick on what's happening down our road, and only shops once a week, you can set timer on her, 9.15AM every Friday drive to Waitrose, Salmon with everything!
Love our home grown Aubergines (not so many this year though) they were made for veggie curries, or even roasted and served cold with garlic olive oil, sundried toms, and artichokes, capers etc like the Italians do, served as an anti-pasta.
The Remoska is working flat out at home, might get another bottom pan so we have two. Not just the best Jacket Pots, & roast chicken or small meat joint, but Dauphinoise or Gratinated Potatoes served with a Beef steak or Pork/Lamb steak or chops.

The pressure cooker is also coming out to play more often for soups, cooking Gammon Joints before roasting with Honey & Mustard, or part cooking beef or lamb for pies or curries.

So its nearly "One Pot" but the deep Tefal Sauté pan with Glass Lid is a Game changer at home or in the van, remove the lid just before serving, place dinner plates on top to warm them through, job done!
Crumbs anyone would think I cook a lot! Truth is I love it, always have.

And probably 2 hours of prep before.

 

[dazandandrea]

Programs like that are basically a piss take.
Im thinking of creating a new program " meals in 1 minute"
Prep, cooking , cleaning, assuming i have all the right ingredients etc etc.
They will take upwards of 2 hours to get ready, 1 hour to cook .
Just 1 minute to plate up. Think im onto a winner

Almost every hot meal I eat in my van is a one pan meal! I have a jug saucepan (ie. a saucepan with a jug handle rather than a straight one, great in tight spaces), a 'shallow casserole' (effectively a cross between a small wok and a saute pan), and a small omelette pan which doubles as a frying pan for the half a dozen times in 8 years I've used it as such. All fit neatly in a small cupboard with a load of other stuff, and all are easy to clean. But then I tend to eat lots of stew, chilli, curry or stir fry at home, so it's not really been difficult to transfer to the van. The stews, chillies and curries are great because I cook in bulk and freeze in single portions at home, so I just pull frozen 'tubs' out of the freezer and shove them in the van. Which means about 5 minutes 'cooking' time, really re-heating since all the prep and cooking was done at home before. I cook that that for economy of ingredients and time saving at home, but in these energy-sensitive times it's also a fuel effective way of cooking. One batch cooked large pot = 4-8 meals, depending on what I'm doing. 3-7 of which can then be re-heated in minutes.
Oh, and I do have a Remoska, too. But I've only used it once in the van. It's now back in the kitchen at home. I'll probably use in the van now and then, if on hookup.

Jamie’s meals in 30 minutes takes my wife about 2 hours and leaves the kitchen looking like a bomb scene

Me too!! I found his 30-minute recipe book so hard to follow. On TV he did cook all the meals in 30 minutes real time but us ordinary folk do not have staff to come in after to clean the bomb site!! I much prefer Nigella Lawsons casual approach to cooking and her cheat ways with garlic flavoured oils, tinned tomatoes and beans instead of soaking dried beans overnight etc. and using naan bread to make a pizza. I really was hoping that this show was going to give some good quick one pan recipes to use in the van, but I have found better easy recipes online, the best ones are the dump dinners oh no am I turning this into another toilet thread
