Three tonnes of baked beans an hour at Watties ;)
Nine million cans onto the NZ market each year!

I'm not sure of the aim of his breakfast. It began as implying it was for people too busy to eat breakfast, and ended up being compared to take-away breakfasts. Every choice looked delicious, but also expensive to make at home for a family-not to mention that it takes a long time to clean up the mess after making smoothies and frying mushrooms and black pudding. All in all it seemed he was saying "don't rush out without breakfast, get up an hour earlier and make something tasty"

Has anyone got the recipe for microwave chips!My friend's son made them and they were yummy even though they were very salty.
Essentially he sliced them thinly on the mandolin, laid them on baking paper, sprinkled them with salt and pepper, laid another piece of baking paper over them, and then microwaved them.Using the MV will be different for different people cos of variations in MV wattage.He did them on high for 7 minutes.

my microwave took 12 minutes. I sliced them by hand about 3mm thick. I didn't make them salty enough for my taste. I think I'd rather just buy a packet still. Even so, if I've got the craving for salty crunchy treat - it'd do the trick.

I've given these a go this afternoon.I have a 1000 watt microwave, and sliced them no thicker than 3mm.It takes about 4 minutes to get them to the crisy stage, less if I have used the potato peeler.It's good that there's no oil.

bedazzledjewels, can you remember where the watermelon was used!I can't find the recipe on the website

I think it was a vegetarian version of the butter chicken, so just chopped watermelon tossed through the butter chicken sauce. Could be wrong though! ;-)

I think you're right.Michael himself seemed to like it, so I might give that a try.

It looks like it might be roast in a roll tonight! Not to be confused with rolled roast. ;-)

I'll pass on the roll and the roast but I like the look of the instant chow-chow pickle.
