Gammon Rice is on the menu this week. I've not had it in ages so I might be a tad excited! Super easy in your pressure cooker. Recipe here: https://www.feistytapas.com/2020/07/instant-pot-gammon-rice/

AIR FRYER SAUSAGE, BACON AND EGG MCMUFFINS
Ingredients
1 bacon slice per person
1 sausage per person, skinned, rolled into a ball then flattened into a patty
1 hash brown per person (these are from Aldi, they come in packs of 10, find them in the freezer section)
1 egg per person
Cheese, I used mature cheddar
1 English muffin per person (these are toasting muffins from Aldi, new range apparently)
Ketchup or brown sauce if you want
🥓 No need to preheat your air fryer. Place the bacon slices, sausage patties and hash browns in the air fryer basket. Spaced out (see photos)
🌡 Instant Vortex and air fryers that have built-in preheating time before countdown: 8 minutes at 180°C / 355 F. Flip all ingredients with 5 minutes to go.
🌡 Cosori and air fryers that don’t have a built-in preheating time: 10 minutes at 180°C / 355 F. Flip all ingredients with 5 minutes to go.
🌡 Ninja 9 in 1 (multicooker with air fryer lid) - straight in inner pot, no need to oil or grease, 200ºC for 10 minutes, flip half way through. Worked really well
🍳 The eggs are fried on the hob but you could use my Air Fryer Egg Pots recipe and do them at the same time and remove them 2 minutes early (unless you want a hard yolk) if using a metal basin OR use thick ceramic ramekins so that the heat takes longer to get through
To assemble:
Toast the muffins if you have a toaster (if you don’t, see below)
I start with the sauce on the bun then, in this order: cheese, sausage patty, bacon, egg.
There’s something special about pressing down on the final slice of bread to see the yolk break…
No toaster?
Assemble and then do what I did today: add back to air fryer for 1 minute at around 140°C / 285 F
More air fryer recipes on my website. I’ll get this one up there soon

What are THE kitchen gadgets to use during a heatwave? Recipes at feistytapas.com
18/07/2022
You know I love a kitchen gadget, right? But I’m also super thrifty… what used to be known as stingy (don’t you just love a trend that makes you look good?) 😉
So, all my kitchen gadgets are useful and I already have a freezer in use, which means I don’t need to add something else that is going to increase my electricity bill, like an ice machine.
So I’ve made myself the ice machine. Yes, me, I’m the ice machine. Even if right now, as I type this, I’m hot hot hot ☀️
Basically, I’m all about lowering bills! And nice iced drinks during this heatwave 🍹 🥤 🧊
As soon as the weather starts warming up, I do this little hack first thing or at night and, right now, I do it both first thing in the morning and at night and every time I go to the freezer to get ice if the cubes are ready.
No buying ice cube bags either!
Use what you’ve got 💪

Who's thinking of getting an air fryer?
This is Part 2 of my Air Fryer video series. An in-depth look.
Two videos in as many days. Blame the heat and sleepless nights! Hope this helps all of you looking at buying an Air Fryer.
Don't forget to watch Part 1: What does an Air Fryer ACTUALLY do? Hint: it DOES NOT FRY! 🤷♀️

Thinking about an Air Fryer? Let me tell you why you definitely need one!! Also, let the feisty come out and hear what an air fryer actually is!! From someone who has used one for exactly five years.

I filmed this a while ago but with being unwell for so long, I finally edited it during a sleepless (and very hot) night last night... while looking at myself in a jumper 😂
I have an in-depth video comparing the three of them coming up

World Chocolate Day. Are we going for Sweet, Savoury or BOTH??
Photos (all recipes on my website):
❤️ Nachos made in the air fryer with my vegetarian pressure cooked Mushroom Chilli recipe (super thrifty)
❤️ Pressure cooker Chocolate Pudding (enough said)
❤️ Pressure cooker Mexican Beef, so good with a nice chilled drink
❤️ Thermomix Chocolate Banana Ice Cream, blitz it in your blender. All you need is bananas and cacao powder! Lots of energy and no added sugar

This was my first time using the Steam Crisp function on the Ninja Foodi 14 in 1 SmartLid cooker (I have the 8 litre). I didn't read the manual and just went for it, as you can see it's very easy to use.
I did some research on timings and it turned out they were all too long, which I am pleased to say! My chosen timing was still too long as you will see in the video.
Two days after filming this video I got the dreaded second line.
So the second chicken was cooked at home and made me realise just how easy this method is!
For those of you who have the 15 in 1, I want to hear more! I have the Ninja Foodi Health Max grill with a probe and love it. For those of you reading: the 15 in 1 is like this but has a probe that continuously check the temperature (I believe, am I right?).
Leave me a comment once you've watched it, it cheers me up and makes all the hours of work worth it 😉

I have a ton of tomatoes from the market. I’m definitely making Gazpacho. What else should I make? Go on, give me ideas

Thank you SO much to everyone who replied with ideas for my left over Pulled Pork (pressure cooked, of course).
After freezing a lot of it in portions, I used some of it as pasta sauce (so good) and then I made this layered jar ahead for my dinner the other day.
It would be perfect for packed lunches, lunch al desko, picnics….
So good!!
The layers, from the bottom to the top, are:
🍚 Cous cous
🍲 Pulled Pork (my Easy BBQ one from the website)
🥬 Shredded lettuce
🧀 Cheese
🍅 Tomatoes (with salt, extra virgin olive oil and a bit of Italian seasoning)
🌿 Fresh coriander
More of what I used the leftovers for tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I’ve got tons of Pulled Pork left over. I usually freeze it in portions to reheat from frozen in the pressure cooker and serve over Macaroni Cheese (pressure cooked too, a version of Jayson’s Mac and Cheese, of course). But I’m feeling creative. What would YOU turn left over pulled pork into?
The Pulled Pork recipe is my Easy BBQ Pulled Pork, pressure cooked to perfection, on the Feisty Tapas website

Edited to add: it was so good!! There’s a little video of one of the slides in the comments 😊
She was born 12 years ago in a heatwave just like the one we’re having. This year’s cake request was very specific: “Not a cake. A giant cookie. Rectangular.”
The rectangular part really messed with my 6am brain today.
As it’s boiling hot today and it had to be rectangular, I used the Ninja Foodi Max Health Grill.
My decorating skills have improved throughout the years but are still massively lacking.
The proof will be in the eating in a bit. Wish me luck that I haven’t messed it up

Seafood Rice by @feistytapas, made easy in the pressure cooker. This is so good! Ingredients * 1 onion, chopped * 1 chunky garlic clove or 2-3 smaller ones, chopped * ½ carrot finely, chopped * 1 glug white wine (optional, you can use some of the stock) * 150 g paella rice or arborio rice this is for 2 people, use 300 g if feeding 4 and so on, always being mindful of the filling rules (check them out on the @feistytapas website), cooking times will remain the same. * 400 ml hot water + 1 heaped tablespoon of my vegetable stock paste or 400 ml of stock of your choice. If you’re cooking 300 g of rice, use 800 ml. * ½ teaspoon paprika * 2-3 strands of saffron optional * 300 g frozen seafood mix (shell-on), use 150 g if without shells (no need to defrost) you can use less to make it last longer (make this dish cheaper) Full recipe on the website, DM me the words Seafood Rice and I’ll send you the link 😊 Let me know if you try it, Maria #pressurecookerrecipes #pressurecooker #easyrecipes #easydinnerideas #easyrecipe #mealideas #instantpotcooking

Pressure cooking a Gammon Joint in a cooker with an air fryer lid means you can glaze it after too without extra washing up. Use your favourite glaze, it could be orange marmalade or honey and mustard or… well the possibilities are endless. The glaze in this video was a mixture of about 2 tablespoons of honey, zest and juice of one orange 🍊 (not a big orange mind!). My guide to pressure cook gammon is on the @feistytapas website as is a recipe for Cranberry-Glazed Gammon which you can use as a guide with the honey orange amounts above or your favourite glaze. Just google Feisty Gammon, yes that’s right 😂 DM me for the links if it ma What glaze would you use? #instapot #pressurecooker #pressurecooking #airfryerrecipes #airfryerrecipes #instapressurecooking

Catherine Phipps' New Pressure Cooking book
Ad - Gifted | Right at the beginning of November 2021, Catherine Phipps came to visit The Kitchen Gadget Hub, you may have seen the Christmas Pudding video we filmed together? While I had her at the hub, and knowing Catherine had a NEW pressure cooking book coming out in March 2022, I asked her to tell us a little bit about her new book. Energy consumption features heavily, I guess it’s been present for many of us kitchen gadget lovers for years now. The book is fantastic, so many recipes to try, it’s also beautiful! And all in metric measurements and ingredients we can easily get in the UK. Catherine lives in London with her family. Ten years ago she published a wonderful pressure cooking book, when the Instant Pot came along into our feisty lives in 2015, Catherine quickly became a familiar name, isn’t it lovely to also see her face now? Modern Pressure Cooking is available to buy now. Catherine made sure I had a free copy when the book was launched
