Cooking hard pears
I have been given a carrier bag of small and extremely hard pears from someone's garden. Usually, I would leave shop-bought pears to go ripe before eating. However, the lady said I should poach them. Any suggestions?

Are Remoskas worth it?
I’m considering getting a Remoska, I understand they use far less electricity than a conventional oven but am wondering if it would be worthwhile or an expensive piece of kitchen equipment that doesn’t get used. I’ve noticed that there don’t seem to be many recipe books available, there is one on Lakeland but the only…

Monthly Meal Planning
I know there's threads where people post their meal plans, but how do you go about doing a monthly one? Without repeating a lot of meals. I want to cut down shopping and oven use over winter, so thinking one big monthly shop and one day of batch cooking with the oven, the rest of the month I'll use the airfryer and slow…

And the other from cats protection with the idea it would be company for first one at a time when I when I was still working. (sadly they hate one another and spend…

Energy saving: what’s really worth it, and what isn’t
I’ve been doing the calculations and I think these are the things that really make a difference to our bills, and the stuff that just makes you miserable for very little gain. I know for some people even the pennies count - but some ‘tips’ I’ve seen are actually actively unhelpful (like putting your washing machine on the…

Housekeeping money - am I stuck in a time warp ?
We have housekeeping money; we always have done since we decided to get to grips with our finances. We take out the cash on payday and I retain the cash in the housekeeping purse. When it's gone, it's gone and it doesn't get topped up from the main bank account. If I chose to buy something out of my discretionary spending…

What size stove top pressure cooker?
Morning all. Family of five. It would be mostly for one pot meals and batch cooking dry pulses, however hopefully the meat eaters in the house will use it to cook joints, chickens etc. The promotional photos for all of them show a whole chicken in the basket, but what size would we need to cook a large chicken or joint?

provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Morning...Up stupid early [considering what time I went to bed] again. I'd better go get some vitamin D tablets or something, I'm not getting enough sleep which is evidenced by my napping at the drop of a hat later in the day. Anyway, enough complaining, today is sunny and I have a lunch with two friends then a meet up…

Quick £12 saving for Readly subscribers
I hadn't actually noticed the monthly sub had just gone up to £10 from £8 but out of curiosity pressed the Cancel Sub button on my account page. Immediately came up with a 'please don't go - we'll give you six months at the old £8 rate if you commit to staying for another six months' page. Probably worth doing the same…
