Recipe Review. Chicken Rendang For Food's Sake p101

Hally have had a look but can't find the one identical to mine, probably been superseded as I've had it a few years but it's a glass one which I have to be very careful with. It did have measurements on the side but they have been washed off in the dishwasher over time but I never used them anyway.

I've included a link below of a stainless steel one that I found and if I were to buy another one I would go for this as you wouldn't have to treat it so delicately.
There's a few answers to a question worth reading but it's very simple to use and it does work.  

I use mine for all gravies, mine has a sieve on the top too for filtering out any bits if you want to.  It also has a rubber seal so it doesn't just fall off either. Being glass you can easily see the fat layer that sits on top of any gravy/sauce.

Being glass it didn't show up the best in the photo, but at least you can see what I mean.

Thank you Julie, yours looks good & I can see how it works. They are a fab idea as sometimes i dont use the meat juices etc because of the fat.

Ths would be great for lamb casseroles.

I am going to look in my local kitchen shop & if no go will order the one you suggest.

I am a little confused that when you pour the whole lot would pour out. Yours you can see it woud work well. If only they made it in tough plastic.

Thanks again

Julie that gorgeous looking jug wouldn't last 5 minutes in this house - the spout would be the first to get broken I would think    Well done you for having it so long.

[JulieO]

Judy, the glass is quie delicate and yet it survives in the dishwasher too as well as handling the hot gravies that get poured in there.  It's probably more robust than it looks but I handle it with kid gloves.

The SS one looks misleading.  I think you will find it will have a hole at the bottom where it pours off the gravy from like mine but as you can't see it, it looks like you will be pouring off from the top instead.

I think this is a plastic one Hally, not completely sure, but it is bigger so would be good for casseroles, stocks etc.

all I could remember at the supermarket was chicken breasts for this recipe, and I got the fillets -- do you still think it will work, or should I chucken them in the freezer for another time?

[Halex]

I think chicken breasts woud be perfect and maybe not oily.

Let us know how you go.

This is definitely yummy. Made it with breasts and reduced peanut oil by 10g. I still prefer chicken on the bone so I will try and get the maryland pieces. No problem with it being over oily. Had to sub fresh turmeric with a dry heaped teaspoonful.

[Halex]

Great CP, will use the breast & the wing, 10g peanut oil.

I made this with the marylands which I skinned first so I could use the skin for the chicken stock powder. I reduced the oil by 20g and used dried tumeric as well. This would have to be one of the tenderest chicken dishes I have ever had. The taste was beautiful and while there was a little oil, there wasn't that much that it was offensive. Would definitely make this again. DH had the leftovers for lunch the next day and said it was even better once the flavours had developed further.

You're welcome, Hally -  but do read the reviews of this one (Trudeau?) on  amazon . . . really good . . . but there is one person on there that uses a gallon freezer bag . . . check it out!
