Souffl!

Bongedone

The OH is making the dinner and I am going to have my 1st attempt at a Souffle. I have a recipe but I hear these things can easily go wrong.

Any tips ?

What type of souffle are you making?

Fiery, Dark, Dangerous Chocolate Souffle

I have the choice of two ovens. My fan assisted electric one or the combi oven on my microwave. Obviously the microwave one spins.

Oooh that sounds divine (choc cravings are nearly overcoming me here as I've given it up for Lent! :A )

I think I would go for your fan oven (my combi is a bit underpowered) as you have to know it's cooked first time, no popping it back in for a few minutes more with souffles.

Other than making sure your beaters are spotless when whisking the egg whites and folding them in very lightly, I'm not sure there's much I can suggest. Just make sure you're ready to eat them the moment they come out of the oven cos they'll sink quickly.

Enjoy, you're a braver person than me!!!

PS LET US KNOW HOW IT WENT (PLEASE)

I will post back and inform you how they went.

Got a trifle in the fridge as back up.

The souffle came out perfect. I am well pleased. As there are only two of us I had to eat two portions and the OH managed 1 1/2.

Will definitely make it again.
