Christmas Tree 4005 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Keep seeing griddles. Are they worth the money? Do they make that much of a difference? Do you uses them for anything else apart from steaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35826 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I see dead griddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We were watching Masterchef last night and i wondered if they would allow the use of a George Foreman. I can do a lush stake on there, but temperature control of a pan is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do a lush stake on there, but temperature control of a pan is beyond me. I have a GF but always think the steaks come off a bit anaemic and over cooked. Obviously down to me and not George. Only caught the last half of that programme but it looked really good. How anyone chooses such a stressful job though is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39211 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 All these chefs that you see using griddles to cook steaks with, does anyone use them or just buy zebra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something not right with Costco meat man. Their chicken breasts are like Arnie's pecs. Full of water or growth hormone or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of water or growth hormone or both. We buy all our meat at Costco. Freeze up a months worth and get it out when needed. It's much better than the supermarket stuff...and cheaper. You've got me scouring the web for their farming methods now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35826 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm convinced there's something not right. The chicken in particular. The chicken breasts are about equivalent to 3 normal sized ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20210 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Is it organic and free range? If not font go near it: golden rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 At that price I doubt it is. Tasty stuff though either way.

Gemmill 35826 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't believe that. Watch any of the food documentaries on Netflix where they get cameras into factory farms. The animals are completely fucked, can barely walk and look diseased. And it goes straight into the food supply. Free range and organic all the way. I'd rather go veggie than eat the non organic stuff . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4005 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 griddles are okay if you want that bbq look to them. But is that it? No point spending £30 or £40 (induction) for a pan that really won't make a big difference compared to a frying pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty84 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 best bit of equipment we purchased for the kitchen in recent months is a garlic peeler / roller cost less than £1 but use it every other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Seriously man. That factory farmed shit should not be getting into the food supply. With 64 million people to feed, it would be a struggle to find the space/volume/time to feed the UK organically. I'm all for legislation to make it so and the infrastructure to make it affordable. Have there been feasibility studies at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy one of them but Gemmill talked me into spending £30 on a gadget to do the same job!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
