l b,
Oh.. making us all envy huh? Good oven is essential to good results.
Most of our oven here runs on electricity, no gas. But I heard the gas ones cook things more evenly.

Maria,
For rottiserie I have to put 240C. If put on a dish, I saw the book taught me to use 160-200C, but use fan assisted top & bottom heating element activated at the same time.

KY,
We didn’t get the Teka. Just got an Electrolux higher end one. Teka and Pacific ones are about 10K for similar feature (minus catalytic cleaning), not worth it!
High time you start using your oven already!! 😛

Jesslyn,
I used to do chic wing and tighs only also. That is more of grilling. Also sedap. But roast whole chic, can keep the breast (juicier compares to grilling) to make sandwich loh.

Twin,
Hand recovered from the burn already. No boil, just a scar.
Yeah, nowadays I cook also more for Zara, but since I’m quite greedy one, will start to do for myself and hubby also.

Sue,
Yeah, sometimes got that jelak feeling. But I’m a very greedy person ler, jelak also still eat. 😛

Baby,
It looks nicer than it tastes, I must say though. 🙁

Looks very “seng kung” wor your chicken… I love baking too, but I seldom eat what I cook, reason being after cooking it I also feel jelak already LOL…

But haven’t been cooking since I got back from studyign overseas… too pampered by mum liao I guess LOL

The only time that i ‘really’ cook is for the kids. As for us, when i’m feeling up to it … too lazy. Have your hand recovered from the burn?

Ahhhh, Teka oven sure expansive, but they look so nice. But, since you quite often use it, zara’s papa should have no complain. My hubby just reminded me (as we are in the process of moving out) I have only used the current oven no more than six times in X years 😛

Ok, I will share my top secret casserole recipes on my blog – one day hopefully soon! Very secret wan. Will send you an encoded message in due course. Then u no more complain abt my lazy blogs ok? 😉

Yes, a good roomy oven is essential! We have them all built-in over here, so that was handy. And pipe-in gas too. That’s another thing I like about being over here. No empty Shellane canisters to worry about!

Annie,
Can.. that is if I’m making. 😛

I wanted to take photos of the food, but they look horrible on photos, nicer in ‘real life’. Let me try again.

Mom2Ashley,
You may change your mind when Ashley starts to have poridge and all. You’ll have to cook for her over the weekend. 😛

Blurblur,
Haha, last time Damien younger, didn’t you have to cook poridge for him?
The chic was quite good actually. Most important is it’s fresh from the oven.

Milly,
I’ll drop my email at your site.

Egghead,
Hmm, good idea, maybe I should try. Save some $ actually.

Helen,
Hey, don’t say that. It’s my hobby, so I do it for fun. Making my own money is necessary, b’cos my hubby cannot support me mah.
I admire you also, esp your creativity, in writing as well as photo publishing (damn clever to come out with photos for your blog topic).

Allyfeel,
Salted chicken wing sounds yummy. Share your recipe!!
My cookies hor, all from western books. I want to do local cookies but no recipe ler.
If you want the Western Recipe, I can give you. Choc Chip (very easy to do), and biscotti (very tough to do) are the 2 I love best (to eat).
About Dr Seager, I left info on your site already.

l b,
I haven’t tried casseroles though. You may want to share some of your recipe though.
With a good oven, the possibility is endless. The next I want to learn is to bake bread. We love European style bread, and buy 3, 4 loaves a week. Very costly, better I bake them myself. But still trying to find time to start.

Cocka doodle,
Sorry, roasted one of your kind. :-(, btw, you haven’t started your blog yet?
