observer Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Heard of doing a casserole cooked in a plastic bag, so it basically steams in it's own juices, which is presumably healthy - anyone tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not a casserole Obs but I've done chicken pieces like that with the spices which come with the bag and it was absolutely delicious. YUM YUM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inky pete Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've done a whole salmon a couple of times by putting it in a bag with lemon slices, lemon juice, herbs, bit of olive oil, etc. Double wrapping it in a second bag, then putting it in the dishwasher on a hot program. Poach/steams it lovely, and it's a far easier way to do a big fish than having to get a big enough fish kettle and taking up half the stove.

Wireboy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I try to eat fish once a week from the fishmongers. They provide cooking bags where you can put herbs/spices or butter in. Seal it and cook it in its own juices. The taste of heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, where did that idea come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've not got a dishwasher... could I use my washing machine or tumble drier ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 oooh seems Inky wasn't kidding Not sure about having dirty dishes and detergent in at the same time though. I think I'd leave those two bits out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Tessla Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 On the Hairy Bikers Food Tour of Britain a large number of the prize winning chefs were using a technique of cooking in sealed bags which were then put into a hot water bath. I believe it's called "Sous Vide" Apparently it's at a very controlled temperature, using specialist equipment - not actually boil in the bag as such.

For goodness sake Obs do you not read all the other posts You should have done your fish in the dishwasher NOT the oven.
