cooking on log burner

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

No mid size 3-4 lb , Because the heat source is coming from only beneath the whole cooking process takes at least twice as long as it would in a normal oven, so lovely slowly cooked the meat doesnt dry out it stays very moist even the next day for you sarnies.

 

Ah, nice one! I couldn't figure why so long but makes sense!

Bob what do ya cook your ham in to stop it burning ? need to start a recipe book me thinks.

 

Put your ham on a trivet or wire rack, then fill pan with water..

 

 

My old granny used to cook individual meat puddings on a range/solid fuel cooker all cooked in a cloth the traditional way, she had to cook them individually because all family would come home at different times.

 

The best old cafe we used to go in with my dad back in thd 70s everything was cooked on a coal range, proper good grub.

 

 

I can cook on a campfire or a wood burner as well as I can on a gas cooker, sometimes better. But I grew up doing it, some of you have got to learn from scratch. The trick is to manage your heat, then anything is possible.

Full xmas dinner as well as every other cooked meal on mine. I don't have an electric or gas oven.

Have to admit to it being the range type woodburner.

Does all the heating and hot water too.

Fair play bud, very envious i would love one of those. our log burner is a flat top but not that big so just enough space for the tu.rkey:thumbup:

Contemplating roasting a rib of beef in front of fire

Aparently sticking it in oven is baking not roasting ......

So need wire from ceiling, fasten to rib and dripping tray below

Just need to get motivated

 

There is bloke offering a course on how to do this for £300

But think I'd rather spend £300 elsewhere .......not one for courses really

Chestnuts - done!

 

It's Christmas!

[Peasgood]

Just turned the oven up from gas mark willow to gas mark Leylandii to brown the turkey off.

 

Have a good one folks.

Handy for perparing/reducing stock, canny "forget" it is on and the heat is free.

Cestnutts also.

Wife bes otherwise too fond of the gas range cooker.

This years turkey was the best I have ever had. Cooked to perfection.

Was only a frozen one from the supermarket, it just turned out right.
