Ni...Wowza fatdog - Hello, good evening and welcome! Nice to have you here. Now then - rules is rules.<br /><br />I cook whatever I can in either a casserole, or a frting pan at the moment, on account of the cook (separated wife) having buzzed off nine months ago. Now the trouble with frying pans is that they have very low sides and all that sizzling grub goes flying over the edges and onto the otherwise clean hob. This is a disaster - as it takes lots of elbow grease to remove the baked-on grease which is the consistency of hard welded toffee.<br /><br />So the theory goes that if I get a pan with a lot higher sides it won't all go spinning off into the sunset. If it is a rounded shape the chances are it might stay within the confines of the pan too! Easy, eh?<br /><br />Lamb, Chicken, strips of succulent beef, (whatever really!) all with those lovely stir-fry packs of veg from Waitrose and some yummy Wing Yip sauces, toasted pine nuts and a nice glass or three of Gigondas alngside does it for me!<br /><br />Regretting it already? - I can sense it....<br /><br />Perhaps I need to read the one cook-book she left then?
