Can you buy these or did you make them as well??

El Paso make them, if the ad I saw in the cinema last week is true. It had Danny Trejo in the ad, which I found amusing as I imagine him selling, ooh, I dunno, hunting knives, not fajitas.

I like Danny Trejo. I often imagine going fishing with him and the stories we would tell. It'd be a brilliant warm day in the summer, light filtering through the leaves of the forest as we walk to the lakeside.

Subconsciously I think it's exactly what you were aiming for

Now my son is at school we have a birthday party every other week as everyone invites the whole class.

My wife and I were talking about how this spells the end of me doing a barbecue for 20 and having a bouncy castle at home, there are 20 kids in his class and at least one adult per child plus family and NCT baby group friends

But then on the way to work I started thinking maybe I could do it... :)

I was thinking I could do as much Brisket as the Sous Vide will take and at the same time a 20lb plus lump of pulled pork, that way it would all be ready to eat shortly after people arrived. Once that was served burgers, sausages etc could be done.

My wife thinks I'm insane and she's probably right!

Do you think this could work? Note my sons birthday is June 2018 so lots of planning time :DD

Certainly can be done, depends on the size of your sous-vide container. We managed to get a whole 6kg brisket in for the BBQ over the summer, but I've got a pretty large SV tub. Brisket wants a long SV cook, we did 36 hours.

I have 2 Sous Vide Supremes, only done brisket once using one of them but it fed 6 and I could have put more in. Could maybe borrow a 3rd as well.

Then for the pork I have XL BGE so that will take 20lbs or more of pork, done a lump this size before.

Kids too young for that really, also I can't control 20 of them even with a bouncy castle, so parents are needed!

We did that for MiniPaz's 6th and the parents were super flustered.

Oh, mate. Opportunity missed. This was an invitation to say "It's turning into a "pick up" party" and play it out.

Just ordered an AGA cooker to replace our conventional range cooker, which basically means learning to cook all over again (not that my skills were, ahem, too much to shout about, but still). Should be an experience.... old dog new tricks etc.

My parents have an Aga - in a rather snazzy dark green - and they love it. Getting the bloody thing into their kitchen through the hallway was a bloody nightmare though, as they weigh a chuffing ton and are huge.

AgaRangemaster are cunts - didn't bother to try and deliver on arranged date with no notice, then were annoyed when they were outside our house also without notice and we weren't in. Very few fucks given at any point.

John Lewis were even worse, claiming it was nothing to do with them because it came straight from aga.

80 quid compo out of a pair of companies like that, for a lost day holiday on a stupidly priced oven.

It's bloody good though.

I love the dark green ones, it's hard to imagine anything more homely. We bottled it and went pure white, but it is going into a dark grey island, so should look ok.

Yeah they weigh a blinking tonne, even the little 2-oven one weighs in at half a tonne I think. Basically it's a solid chunk of iron.

Sounds crap mate, cheers for the heads-up. We're buying direct from Aga and it's scheduled to be ready for delivery before the kitchen's completed, so I'm hoping it will be alright on that score. Good luck to them if they're stupid enough to turn up here unannounced with a 2-tonne chunk of metal to wheel in, methinks Eric and Ernie will likely intervene and not in a good way. :D

Oh yeah, and no-one bothered to mention we ordered just in time to be shafted by the two week summer shutdown.

It took 2 bloody months in the end.

Still, you won't be affected by that.

My parents have a Rayburn, which I think is the Lidl to Aga's Waitrose. They used to have a coal one, which was always entertaining.

:D No, actually they're very good. Mine's almost 100% made from recycled scrap iron and is itself entirely recyclable; it's the "total control" model which is only on when you want it to be, not all the time like old school ones, and each of the 5-ovens and two hot plates (and induction hob) are all individually controllable, programmable and even from your iPhone lol. Me and Mrs C plan on wearing our reversible AGA caps with pride; get us.

An AGA has no fan and is radiant heat from all five sides, per oven. Food can be cooked without foil, doesn't dry out anywhere near as readily, and (apparently) tastes a lot better. It's the closest thing to a baker's brick oven as well, so makes awesome bread, rolls, cakes (and Tandoori).

It looks great (IMO) as well, in a 500-year old cottage setting, so aesthetics count for a lot as well. It's a beautiful piece of kit.

Anyway, do remind me Gaz, how environmentally friendly was that old V10 M5 of yours again? (Or your current 7-series behemoth diesel come to that) Very Ouch, huh. ;)

My parents have had Aga's for years, the current on is oil and I think does some of the heating. My dad spent a fortune on some sort of wireless device for it better control the heating.

Can't see us ever getting one really, the expense is the main thing, always leave a house with one in thinking it would be nice to have one though!

Given how insecure many IoT devices are, I'm not sure I'd want to potentially offer up control of my home's heating systems to ne'er-do-wells.
