So it turns out that eating raw fish might not have been such a good idea after all

I think the mistake I make is to seal the meat first of all
Like it says on the back of the packet

Playful = pissed ?


For a flamboyant dash of joire de vivre Worcester Sauce might work

There is no need to seal the meat. First of all, it does no such thing, it merely creates a bit of caramelisation. Second, the same effect is achieved by giving the ****er 20 minutes at full blast in the oven before turning it down.

I will follow your advice either this Sunday or next Sunday if chicken wins the race for the nearest one

Please do not laugh but I have also tried rubbing a mixture of flour and mustard powder onto the fat layer at the start
Shall I just pepper it ?

No, that's OK (although I'm never sure how much flavour the mustard powder actually imparts, tbh). You should certainly salt and pepper it, though.

Have you a meat thermometer? If so, throw the ghastly thing away, since they lie and want you to cremate your meat.

You're going to see some thermometer action this weekend, mind.

That's fine if it's just measuring temperature rather than being one of those that's marked with different types of meat and an arrow telling you when they're 'cooked'.

Oh Lordy no.

Actually we'll be using 4 thermometers.

No
I think meat thermometers are cundish so just measure when it is cooked by weight timings
I am keen to try the initial 20 minute blast
