A thread to pass on kitchen tips, whether the best way to seperate an egg, keep a hollendaise sauce stable, you get the drift.
I'll start off with a gadget, most of us are stuck with something along the lines of a standard hob. Mine is certainly standard, and very underpowered, despite a so called wok burner. It is on the scan ebay for a better one list, but I digress.
I make up for this with with two rectangular cast iron griddles which together sit side by side over all of the hob. You can see them advertised on TV at the moment for �15 at Homebase etc. Mine were also �15 from a "posher" source, and mine are clearly good quality. I have not seen the advertised ones.
With all burners on, you have a wonderfull almost restaraunt style grilling surface. Cast iron when seasoned well, beats a non sitck frying pan. When frying you can adjust the burners for different tempurature zones, and when browning meat, it can do so with considerable speed
The griddles are reversible with ridges on one side, flat on the other, for flexibility in how you want to cook.
