Better Housewares 2312 Potato Baker, standard, Black

Product Information

If you've not cooked with cast-iron before, it's worth acquainting yourself with the notion of 'seasoning' - nothing to do with salt and pepper, but with the judicious oiling and baking of your cookware - there's a good intro here. Cooking takes ten to twenty minutes, depending on the temperature of your stove, and gives you lovely crisp edges to the bread and melting fillings. Cheese and ham panini with a few tomatoes on the side: German Fried Potatoes: German Fried Potatoes & Onions or Bratkartofflen is the ultimate comfort food. Imagine perfectly cooked potatoes complimented with caramelized onions and crispy bacon. Is your mouth watering yet? I know that mine is! The time taken to cook your potatoes is very variable, as it depends on how hot your fire is burning. We generally put some on the showroom stoves around 9am and they are perfectly done by lunchtime. On the odd occasion we’ve been really busy and forgotten about them, the potatoes have still been perfectly good even an hour or two later. The more space you give them, the better they cook. Three cook beautifully in this. Four cook well, but need a bit more cooking time. Just prep your potatoes, pre-heat the potato cooker on your stove, and then pop the spuds inside. They'll be cooked in about 2-3 hours;

Pro tip– If you choose to leave the skin on the potatoes, make sure to wash and scrub them thoroughly. Potatoes Lyonnaise: Potatoes Lyonnaise is a buttery dish ofpan-fried sliced potatoes cooked withcaramelized onions. Potatoes Lyonnaise is simple to prepare and absolutely delicious! The best choice is a large cast-iron skillet. For this many tubers (800 g/ 1.8 lbs.), you will need a large skillet; mine has a diameter of 30 cm/ 12 inches. The slices should fit comfortably in the pan, and they should not overlap too much so that all of them have the chance to get really brown and crispy. Irish Pan Haggerty: Irish Pan Haggerty is a delicious twist on a classic Northumberland potato dish. Layers of potatoes, onions, and Dubliner cheese are cooked together to create a spectacular dish. If you have ever tried cooking a potato on top of a stove without our pod, they tend to ooze a bit of starch and make a mess of the paint on top of the unit - as well as only cooking from one side. Again, not nice !

Recommendations

I like using small ones with medium starch content for this recipe. They are easier to cut into regular-sized slices. Fresh herbs – Rosemary and thyme are always a great combination. But you can also sprinkle some chives, dill, green onions or shallots along with the parsley. There are three products in the Potato Cooker range: a small and large potato cooker and a panini press, but their uses are considerably more versatile than the names suggest. All are designed for stove-top use. The baked potato cooker should never need to be washed but wipe it over if required and lightly oil inside with sunflower or vegetable oil on kitchen roll to protect and prevent rust. Salt and pepper would be enough as well, but I like to add more spices and dried herbs for extra flavor.
