Halogen Cooker

[Yorky]

I am going on the lookout for some trays later (on the way to the pub).

They are not foil but very light alloy. I'll try Yorkies but I rarely eat other puddings. I'm a little wary of the Yorkies sticking through.

Sorry. I realised that and corrected my post. The fluting could make for sticking! grease them well.

In fact, these moulds are more like the size of the ones I use. But yours are 'fluted'. I'm not sure if that is an issue. Probably not. The thing is, with Yorkshires, that you need to get the fat sizzling in the base of the mould before pouring in the batter. Can you do that in the Halogen?

It gets much hotter in the halogen oven than my gas oven ever did.

And have a nice time in the pub. I would join you - but its past my bedtime!

I thought they looked liked cupcake molds.

In that case: grease moulds first. Then sizzle 1/4 inch of oil in the base of the moulds. Then pour in batter and cook. I'm very interested to see what happens!

Could be. But they are fluted...

That is the exact pattern on US cupcake liners.
Though they are usually paper.

I bought this tray today - US$ 7.00. I'll give it a go tomorrow with Yorkies.

Oh yes - we have the paper ones too but they are usually used in plain metal cake/muffin tins.

Fluted again... but I trust it fits into the halogen oven.

Up here for thinking - down here for dancing............

To be fair our oven works fine [but yes it does get HOT] it's just the hob I hate.

First effort............

The oven was TOO hot!

I gave up and cooked some pancakes with the rest of the batter. Even those were only a 5/10 success.

Today was obviously a "don't think of cooking today" day!
