Convenient grill

[NoCarb]

hello!

I like grilled salmon, steaks, etc.
But I hate to have to clean stuff after cooking.

Is there a solution for this? Can I put the frozen meat (directly from freezer) inside a bag or something and seal it and then put it in heat (pan or something) and cook it and then get rid of the bag without having to clean anything?

Or is there anything like that (the bag was just an idea).

Thanks!

You could buy something like a George Forman grill but there's always going to be some mess to clean. You can buy fish/salmon etc. that's cook in the bag too but that's not really grilled.

I tend to oil the salmon fillets or steak and fry which seals them and leaves very little mess in the pan. Either that or put them on the grill rack with tin foil underneath that can be thrown away. There's no mess then apart from giving the rack a rub over.

This isn't quite the same, but my daughter found some Birds Eye cod in parsley sauce the other day, where you just popped a bag in the microwave for a couple of minutes ( or in the oven) removed it, shook it to distribute the sauce, then cut it open. The bag stayed cool, so no burnt fingers. Easier than the old Boil in the Bag fish, which was fiddly and hot.

I use roasting bags to minimise cleaning, you can get them in any supermarket or Wilkinson's

how do they work, can you do them as I describe in my first post?
can you put the meat frozen inside them and then place them in a pan and eventually no cleaning is needed?

also, are they sealing? just a piece of paper cannot seal the juices

last, since they are a bit expensive, how do you clean them? or there are any that you can just dispose them?

Salmon and s trout are nice baked in a foil parcel. Just like roasting bags you throw the foil away same as you do the bags.

They are only for the oven, not a pan. You put them on an oven tray/roasting tin.
Yes you can put frozen meat in them.
You seal them with a plastic tag.
They can only be used once.
About £1 for 10, I think, depends where you buy them.
I sometimes make foil parcels as suggested by Jenny.

Oh ok, but I need these for pan/grill.

Are there foil parcels available to buy?

Buy the foil tins from the £1 shop (for about 3 or more depending on size) and cook them in there. I wouldn't use the lids, just put some tin foil over the top. No mess and throw them away afterwards.

Foil parcels are just tin foil wrapped up and folded to make a seal.

 

[NoCarb]

yeah that's what I will do!
do you have any link for those foil tins? preferably 24cm round?

also will the steak cook in considerably less time than without the tin?
also, is it healthy and compatible with a anti-stick pan, or I should just cook them on the kitchen hob directly?

or maybe there is a foil roll that I can cut and line with it the pan and cook the steak on that? and it won't stick to it?

Guys, I love roast/fried salmon, is there a way I can put a frozen piece in the microwave and have it cooked to perfection?

thanks!

 

[Dollypolly]

No as it's just as quick to cook it on the stove and would go limp in a microwave well in my opinion it would.

Depends what you're looking for, I quite often microwave it, and it comes out quite similar to steaming or poaching it, which is how I'd normally cook salmon.

I've never tried it with frozen fish as I just buy fresh from the counter in tesco but I've microwaved that with a little knob of butter and some seasoning and it comes out perfect not limp at all x

I prefer to do my fish in a pan or grill, I find microwaving tends to make it rubbery.
