Random, it doesn't matter how it looks, only how it tastes!
Cooking's easy, just get a slow cooker! Have you checked out the Old Style board, I got looooads of help and advice from them.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0 -

Can I come live with you for a few months to learn how to cook properly? I seem to be still stuck at the "slop" level of cooking...
God only knows how this lasagna going to look
I never 'learned' to cook Random... I just taught myself. So if your lasanga is sloopy and watery this time thicken up the sauces next time. I learned all I know from trial and error, as long as its all edible you will get better. The only thing I havent mastered is yorkshire puds... No matter how many times Mum will show me or I try they just will not work :rotfl:
Evening everyone btw

Ooooh read all the OS boards for cooking tips - Amazing stuff!
At the moment the slow cooker purchase is for next year as all my money is promised away already - although I live in fear if i got one I would burn my house down or something...
Just seems that even with the right ingredients it never looks anywhere near the "image" I think it should be - last time I made lasagna - it tasted already but just didn't seem to work properly... does that make sense? More like "pasta sheets in a puddle of meet with some cheese in it"...
We will see! Hopefully it just even pretends to act like lasagna this time!!!Sealed Pot No:721 started 05/08/09 until 30/04/09 Target:£100 - £60 Banked!

Random, are you making the layers too thick with the mince and sauce?Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!

Random - I make my lasagne meat the day before I need it, cool it and fridge it over night. Much easier to get a thin even layer when it's cold. Once layered up I cook it low and slow for a good hour and a bit and then whack up the temperature and add some grated cheese to the top for the last 20 mins."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W.
