Episode notes
Salt Ice To Keep Champagne Colder
- Do add salt to your ice bucket to keep champagne colder for longer.
- Angela recommends classic ice with a bit of salt or freezer pouches rather than risking the freezer, which she only uses if desperate.
Mandolin Plus Glove For Fast Uniform Slicing
- Use a mandolin with a stainless-steel glove to get uniform slices safely and look 'chef-y' when prepping.
- Nicola keeps a glove for protection because she's prone to cuts and values the mandolin's finishing options like chip making.
Marinade Under The Skin For Juicy Roast Chicken
- Do loosen the chicken skin and rub marinade under it to keep the breast juicy.
- Angela mixed chipotle paste, sour cream, garlic and lime, spooned it under the skin and massaged it before roasting an hour-plus with foil then uncovered to brown.
