    Idea: seven days of budgeted cooking battles. This will be a good way to give the judge the feeling of 'fatigue' from eating the same kind of ingredient more than once; using the same set of ingredients to cook different dishes will be important. Kind of like the Grocery shop battle.

      Yes, then they could release them as a series so we can watch the progression as someone else has used an ingredient they were saving for a later day or a dish they were planning to reuse in a second dish has gone belly up. So they have to react to realistic situations.

    • @fredvieth2587
      @fredvieth2587 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Give them 5, 10, whatever amount of pounds each day and they can use what they save later but must shop each "day" separately so they don't make one large dish and serve it repeatedly. Or do we allow them to risk it and save the same thing multiple days?

      I have a fancy AEG steam oven that you need to press play on, but even that turns on after 10 second regardless. I wonder if it's because their oven has a timing setting so you can put an uncooked pie in and set it to turn on to be done for when you get home.

    I'd like to see you guys do a 30-minute cooking battle where the boys haven't had the food team's help and don't have the chance to prep parts of their dish overnight. The fridge is locked, the timer blows, it's unlocked and whatever is inside is what they have to use. I guess you'd call it a "Blind thirty-minute cooking battle" or something.
    I also think that the best way to improve your cooking skills is to be pushed against a wall and have to adapt, have to build off of what you know, and have to get creative.

Mike's pie looked so good; mustard and lemon, leeks and mushrooms... Winning combination. And Barry had a hard one! So creative. I'd probably just put the noodles in the broth instead of making dumplings, and leave the ham out. Really nice simple soup with perfect eggs. Super realistic, on budget and on time. Well done!

      well yes it was mentioned that stale bread can be turned into breadcrumbs, which could then even be fried off with herbs and kept sealed for a lovely seasoned crumb over lots of things without having to waste them. I don't really think the bread here was wasted, just not used fully in this recipe. You don't really need that much bread for the recipe either IMO, plus it looks nicer like this than a full slab of squished bread and they are trying to win and looks are a part of it.

    Seeing as Bencoften mentions how these types of meals would get cheaper over time due to having to buy ingredients along the way that last well (ie Mikes mustard) thus making it cheaper as time goes on. I feel like it could be fun to do an episode of this challenge where the boys can work out what they have bought in each episode that would be left over, and be given a low budget, but allowed to use all their precious “leftovers” or unused staples plus a few extra fresh things, and see what they can come up with!?🤷‍♀️- could make for some REALLY WIERD meals lol

      Depends on how you do your budget and if your goal is cooking frugally long term, or cooking with what you can buy right this moment
      Because you got to eat tomorrow and the day after too. Dishes that work well on stuff you can buy right this moment for as little as possible aren't necessarily cheaper if you do that every day.
      Buying basic pantry items in large quantities to save money really is how shopping works

    Three very delicious looking plates. I'll gladly prepare either of them.

    The bread-panada is a great idea. But I would use the whole slice by flattening it as Jamie did, and then cutting the bread diagonally and I get more from the same amount of money.
