        Six inches of snow on the ground, -2C, dark by 4pm and it’s not even bloody winter. The only thing to do is make “Uova in Purgatorio”…

          Ha! I can imagine they might upset the balance a touch. Strap some of the new wabash loggers to the bonnet to keep things even. They look chunky as fekk.

                Blimey. They do look special. Those handles are gorgeous (and functional, I’m sure). What’s the thinking behind the octagonal design? It looks sexy but I’m guessing there’s more to it. Also, nice Aga.

                  No idea what being octagonal does, but I like it, so that's good enough for me…....

                      I believe they explain it as allowing you to pour from multiple angles, plus the lids fit tightly, which they don't on round pans with a pouring spout.

                      Mostly, I suspect they did it so that their pans are distinctive.

                          Luckily for you it also makes a great breakfast (although preferably on the weekend, with a mild hangover)…

                          Its basically an Italian variation on Heuvos Rancheros. This is what I did last night as supper for two adults:

                          • Lots of olive oil (30-50ml) in a deep pan or pot

                          • Add roughly chopped garlic (I just crush the cloves and chuck them in) and fry hard until they start to brown

                          • Add three tins of chopped tomatoes, oregano, S&P and a bit of chili heat (I generally crush two dried piri-piri and add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper).

                          • Bring to the boil then turn the heat down to let it thicken for 15 mins.

                          • Make space in the sauce with a spoon and break your eggs in (I use three per person for dinner, two for breakfast) and let them poach until they are cooked how you like them.

                            To serve, use a bowl or deep plate, spoon out some tomato sauce then put the eggs on top, spoon more sauce around the eggs. Dress with fresh S&P, shaved parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Crusty bread & butter on the side and you're laughing.

                            That cookware looks GORGEOUS in your kitchen!

                            Is it "pre-seasoned", or do you have to break it in on your own?

                              Pre-seasoned…

                              Last night Paula and I got home late and were knackered.  So all plans to make one of @Madame Buttonfly 's amazing Thai curries were thrown out of the window.

                              I can report though that Finex fries a fine fish finger.

                              Fuck, that was an embarrassing admission…...

                                Bollocks to that. Fish finger sarnies with lots of butter and HP sauce is food of the Gods.

                                    Spot on @neph93 - the Thai curry would have been healthier, but fish fingers with oven chips, peas and mayo (we discovered we had no tartare sauce) was the perfect comfort meal after yesterday's craziness!  😛

                                    And obviously tasted even better with the fish fingers having been fried in Giles's posh new pans (which I can hardly lift)  ???
