Tesco Butterflied Pork Shoulder Joint Korean Inspired

Tesco Korean Inspired Pork Shoulder Joint.

This Pork Shoulder Joint is part of their Finest Range. I bought this at a reduced price but normally it comes out at £8.00 though price will fluctuate.

It's a larger Pork Shoulder Joint and the smells of oriental / Korean flavours come over. It's very well seasoned.

I cooked the Tesco Finest Pork Shoulder Joint in my Airfryer. I placed on some tin foil. Put in the air fryer for 25 mins at 200 and a further 5 mins uncovered. I cooked at a little less first time and that's why the meat was pink. The camera pic has made the meat look a little pinker than it was.

The Korean Inspired Pork Shoulder joint I let rest for ten mins and cut into slices which were fairly thin. I served with some lemon couscous and I had some Beef Bao Buns too.

Overall the Tesco Finest Korean Pork Shoulder Joint is well worth the money if you think how much it would be from Takeaway. I'd probably buy again or buy a joint and make my own Korean rub.

The New Yorker Burger – Malcolm Allan – Thick Burger

The New Yorker Burger from Malcolm Allan.

If you are looking for a good thick beef burger which does not shrink a lot then The New Yorker Burger from Malcolm Allan is well worth trying.

Available from Tesco and other supermarkets it offers a good thick beef pate which cooks well on a George Foreman grill. It can be cooked in around 10 -12 mins on a preheated machine and add some sprayable oil and some salt for seasoning.

The New Yorker Burger goes well on a Brioche Bun and some tomato relish and some cheese slice. Try Piri Piri Cheese from Tesco.

Review of Simon Howie Gastro Burgers

Simon Howie Gastro Burgers available from Tesco.

These are a good firm burger using Aberdeen Angus meat. They give as said a firmer burger with more quality.

Cook them in the George Foreman to give that charred striping effect on your Gastro Burger.

Spray some low calorie oil on the George Foreman then cook the Simon Howie Gastro Burgers for around 12 mins. You can flatten out the meat burger a little. I did try them in the airfryer but no, George Foreman grill came out better for the Simon Howie Gastro Burgers.

Served these with a simple roll, some tomato relish and some melted cheese. The Simon Howie Gastro Burger did taste nice, you felt as though you were eating a quality burger with a tiny bit of chew in it.

Would I buy the Simon Howie Gastro Burger again. I would consider it. I do like the Malcolm Allan New York Burgers a bit more, definitely more substantial and cheaper. Try the Simon Howie Gastro Burger and see what you think. I'd say a 7 out of 10, price knocked down 2 points.

How to Airfryer Morrisons Scotch Beef Topside

How to Airfryer a Topside of Scotch Beef Joint.

Using a good bit of Beef from Morrisons. Morrisons beef joints are great value and the meat looks delicious and you get a lot for your money.

Leave your joint of meat out the fridge so it's room temperature.

Cut out a section of Tin Foil to fully cover the beef. I tend to cut an onion and put this on the foil and rest the beef on top. The beef put some oil or butter over the beef. Then add some salt, black pepper and spices of herbs of your choice on the day. Oregano or some mixed spice will add to flavour.

Have the Airfryer on a few mins at 200. Then when you have wrapped your beef joint put it into the airfyer. You can cook the joint without the basket if needs be.

Ok so how do you like your beef. Generally 45 mins at 190 will give you a rare meat. Maybe too pink for some. 55 mins at 190 medium still pink in parts. 1hr 10 tiny bit of pink left. All of these times I have opened up the foil and PUSH the foil down the sides so it is not sticking up and potentially touching the element.

Bring out the beef.. generally use a fork or prongs and if you have put the onion below the beef, the beef will not have stuck to the foil. Let the beef rest on a dish or chopping board. Cut into your beef and hopefully the timings should be ok.

Cooking in an airfryer a beef joint is a simple way and can produce delicious results.

Airfryer Simon Howie Beef Lorne Sausage Review

Simon Howie Beef Lorne Square Sausages Four Pack Review.

Lorne Sausage are a great breakfast snack and whether as part of a breakfast or in a roll they are a part of the Scottish diet.

Simon Howie make Beef Lorne sausage which in this review are well worth a try. Square sausages can sometimes be made with pork meat. Beef my it's very nature is that bit more thicker.

So the Simon Howie Beef Lorne Sausage is not overly appealing when you take out the packet. However when you put in the airfryer at 190 for 12 mins you get a great sausage in the end.

Add some butter or in this case I added a tomato relish to my roll and it was delicious.

Simon Howie Beef Lorne Sausages definitely are worth a try and a four pack is great value in Tesco

Iceland TGI Sesame Chicken Strips Air Fryer Cooked

Iceland TGI Sesame Chicken Strips with Tennessee Sauce.

Review.

Seen these in Iceland a few times recently and at £4.00 decided to give them a try and make a short vide.

On opening the box you get a blue plastic bag of chicken strips, probably around 25 strips.

A plastic pouch of sesame seeds and another of the brown sticky Tennessee Sauce which packs a punch.

As per video I have made my Sesame Chicken Strips in an air fryer at 180 for 12 mins.

While this was happening the frozen Tennessee sauce I put in a mug then added some hot water out the kettle and allowed to thaw and heat.

Once the strips are ready use a large bowl, mix the saw with the strips. Add the sesame seeds. You won't need to use full bag. Put back in your Air Fryer for 3 mins or 5 mins for a bit more of a crunch.

Outcome - I found them really good and I enjoyed mixing the sauce with the strips. I would buy them again as you do get a decent amount of Sesame Chicken Strips. The Tennessee Sauce is strong, distinctive and keeps you coming back for another strip.

Review Iceland 2 Boneless Chicken Thigh Burgers Southern Fried in Air Fryer

Iceland 2 Southern Fried Boneless Chicken Thigh Burgers

Tasty and delicious Chicken Thigh Burgers. These can be made in an Air Fryer and generally cook them for 20 mins at 190 as they really need cooked through.

There is quite a thick bit of chicken thigh so it's worth cooking through so that the chicken juices run clear, so there are no pink bits and also so the chicken thigh is firm.

Boneless Chicken Thigh Burgers from Iceland are worth buying and buying again. They are quite tasty with that Southern Fried Taste. The burger is great in a bun or roll with some salad and a nice tomato relish.

Review We Hae Meat Chippy Sausages in Air Fryer

We Hae Meat - Chippy Style Sausages in Batter

Chippy Style Sausages from We Hae Meat can be found in Tesco and Asda. First off in the packet they look like what you would imagine uncooked. I cooked them in an Air Fryer and may have over cooked them at 20 mins at 180. Could maybe do 12 mins at 200. I did use the spray oil on them and I was actually tempted to just sprinkle vinegar over them while cooking.

As you can see from the pics, the batter for the We Hae Meat Chippy Style Sausages could be a bit over cooked. The batter was just crusty so not that golden - yellow colour you might expect. The sausages themselves were just your standard chippy sausage.

Would I get them again, mmmhhhh probably not I don't thin k if I changed how I cooked them they would have been any better.

Iceland do a range of Chippy Items that are worth trying.
