I hadn't considered freezing them. Do they lose much? And how do you reheat yours from frozen?

I've never done it, as I always had the leftovers in the refrigerator and I toasted them. They were gone within a few days. But we're leaving for 2 weeks. I imagine I'll thaw and toast them.

This looks great. Steak Au poivre always confused me because everything I have read about cooking says not to put pepper on high heat because it can burn, yet the steak requires a sear with pepper on it.

Thanks.

From what I read, the cracked peppercorns need to be large pieces. That must be all that is needed to keep them from burning like a smaller grind would.
And from what I tasted, that 3 min sear changes their flavor profile. Because I could never eat something with that much pepper on it otherwise.

My Fridge-Freezer died over the weekend so everything had to go in the bin as all the food in the freezer had defrosted and the fridge it was all warm! So no freshly cooked food for me this week!

So for lunch today I had a £2 frozen meal from Heron Foods!

It tasted a little bit better than it looks!

I didn’t have any problems with consistency or flavour with my peppercorn sauce yesterday…..

I'll bet that would go great with the filet mignon frozen/microwave dinner

Pretty cool though. I've never seen that in a store.
Would be a great camping addition.

Only if you have refrigeration cos their sauces are fresh

Do you suppose the place they make it is as dangerous to work in as a gunpowder factory?

It's hard to make it look as good as it tasted. But here's homemade Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, cabbage, mustard gravy and lingonberry compote

I just had a big bowl of cream of mushroom and leek soup for lunch.

I’m thinking about a grilled cheese.

I’m thinking about a grilled cheese.

I'm setting the over/under at 2-1/2
As in varieties of cheeses used

 

[msmofet]

I’m thinking old school Velveeta and/or tomato/bacon on seeded rye.
If I had deli Swiss and ham it would be that grilled on rye.

 

[PAcanis]

mmm, I love American and Swiss.
The right amount of goo and chew

Sausage sandwich on an English muffin, with mustard, hard-boiled egg slices, and some pickled jalapeños on it as well.
