Their skins go a bit soggy but I've done this with leftover jackets.

I have cooked my jacket spuds that I am having tomorrow as I had the oven on but has anyone tried freezing them so I could do a bigger batch and defrost as and when required??

Many thanks

I do it successfully with smoked mackerel, horseradish, etc and if you put them back in the oven they soon crisp up again.

I just ate shop bought, frozen, pre-baked jacket potatoes for tea so i don't see any reason why they can't be baked from fresh at home and then frozen.

No salt available anywhere locally because everyone's been salting their drives and everywhere has sold out. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know how to make bread without salt?!

there is a salt substitute on sale called lo salt, i saw an advert on tv for it last night, maybe the supermarket would have that left?

Just be aware that Lo-Salt is not suitable for everyone: there are some medical conditions for which it is not recommended, so do check the packaging.

But I'm with the 'try without' brigade!

Thanks all.

re left over jackets. They make good potato salad, chopped up with a bit of mayo on and some black pepper.

Or could be put in a HM soup.

Hi, Just a quick question on making a cake.

I want to make this http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3092/ultimate-chocolate-cake as part of my boyfriends valentines day gift, I'll do it in a heart shaped tin.

The thing is I want to make the cake slightly alchoholic, I thought it might taste good if I added some baileys. Would it work if i just added a bit to the mixture and baked it for a bit longer or would I have to alter the quantities? I also thought about maybe making some baileys flavoured buttercream to go in the middle instead of the ganache and just using the ganache on the outside.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I have a sick child so I can't go out & lots of washing to do... but I've run out of fabric conditioner almost (about 1 loads worth left and I've already watered it down alot!), I have no white vinegar, any ideas of something else I can use?

Just do it without fabric conditioner? I never use it and the clothes seem soft enough. The only difference it seems to make is to get towels fluffier...and also less absorbent.
