Thanks for all the replies. Some great ideas there! I think I'll have to look at making smaller batches more regularly (maybe one a week) and store them in the fridge. They were more for dipping cooked chicken in to add flavour.

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of advice on making a sauce for chicken. I cook a lot of chicken in batch (breast, thigh, wings). I then store it in the fridge and snack on it throughout the week. Instead of eating it bland I want to start making my own sauces, similar to the mild piri-piri...

Hi All, I'm looking for some suggestions please. I got some fresh cooked/peeled prawns and scallops from the Fishmonger yesterday afternoon and having them for my tea this evening. I was thinking of steaming or cooking some rice (not sure if it's possible to just steam rice but it sounded...

Yes, I've realised my mistake. What an idiot. It's all in the bin now... but I've learnt for next time :-)

Thanks all. I'll get some smaller pie dishes, then I can cook to order (as the other half is on a diet and wouldn't eat them anyway!). Thanks again, Amnesia

Oh no! I didn't realise it had to go into the fridge! Gutted :-(

Hi All, I've got some left over gravy, chicken carcass/meat and veg from yesterday's Sunday dinner. All the ingredients are still siting in their pots/pans (covered) ontop of the oven. So, I was going to cut the rest of the chicken/meat and then cut up the veg. Pour gravy over it (thin it...

Thanks for both of the replies. I really like the pie idea. The carcass and veg and gravy are all siting inside the oven (not on, obviously) so they haven't been back in the frigde yet since yesterday afternoon. I have a roll of frozen pastry. How would I go about actually making the pie...

Hi All, After following advice from here, I used the carcass from last weeks Sunday dinner to make a lovely chicken stock which made a beautiful gravy to accompany todays meal. However, today I have left the chicken carcass with some chicken, broccoli, parsnips, some potatoe etc, etc. I have...

Thanks for the advice. I didn't know if it was safe to freeze cooked chicken, that was all :-) I went out for a meal last ngiht with the Fiance and I had half a chicken, so I asked them to box me up the bones and meat I had left and also threw that in with the carcass we already had! Bit...

Hi All, I put the chicken in the pressure cooker last night with some water, herbs, carrots and onions. The stock tates flavoursome, but a bit 'weak' or 'runny'. How can I thicken it up? It has been in the fridge overnight but there is minimal fat ont he top. I have got the chicken from...

Thank you for all the very quick replies! I think I will use the pressure cooker then, but I had visions of the bones blowing up inside due to the pressure... maybe not! Haha. So, I will break up the bird (like you said, legs/wings off etc) then bring to boil, then allow to simmer in the...

Hi All, I have been looking at recipes to make use of the chicken carcass that will be left over from tonights dinner. I have found ways of making a broth, but how do I turn this into soup? What I was planning on doing was putting the chicken carcass into our pressure cooker as I don't...

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately, we cut the bird before I read these replies. Are there any good pan fry recipes? We've got the legs/thighs, breast cut and a thick bit from the top. The only thing left is the carcass and the live was inside too. I wanted to take care that we did...

Hi all, I have a phesant I want to cook. I'm probably just going to cook the breast and throw the rest away. However, I would like some advice on the sauce. I'm thinking of cooking the phesant (either pan fry or roast in the over). I was then going to put some red wine in a pot, and bring...
