Bit personal.

53 seconds is the exact time to cook a Taylors pork pie and its as crispy and as juicy as the minute it came out of the oven. Pasties I grant you are a bit more of a challenge.

Michelle found some French Pork pies which are really nice hot.

Microwave then oven really works well . Think hot pork pies have been discussed previously?
Sounds good but haven't tried them yet . Pork pie pastry is a different beast though . For me doesn't really taste the same if not fresh as . Reheated in a microwave? Sounds wrong but , of course , I believe you .
Memo to me . Really must find freshly baked pork pie

Pork pies should be cold unless eaten with mushy peas and mint sauce.

Microwave and 2 minutes in an airfrier works great too, Ok and maybe an oven is better on a cold day, warms the MoHo too, if you can wait

Yeah I remember the Pork Pie debate. You have to try one straight out the oven from Taylors in Darlington or Richmond. Absolutely amazing. I get what you are saying though about them not tasting the same as fresh however after months of research I discovered the way to do it is to take them out of the fridge to room temperature then zap them for 53 seconds. As good or at least almost a good as out of the oven.

Of course the best way to eat one is sat on your bike outside the pie shop which as every biker knows is compulsory. No bike ride can be complete without either Fish n Chips or a Pie (or both). My bike even has a Pie holder.

You are the pie holder .
Taylors.Richmond.Hot pork pie.
It will be done

I was happily surprised when I found out how nice a hot pork pie is.

A few days later we had a Geordie Tapas in Amble. Half a hot pork pie, half a sausage roll, and 2 sausages. I think my arteries are still in recovery.

 

[Val54]

Are we now looking for a live-in hot food van with full auto box?

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Not for me.

Just Googled this and found out that Tesco Finest Pork Pies are made by Taylors.

I must try one hot, it will be a first for me.

It's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard to us, Julian, less actually, as we could eat that, we 100% wild camp, so nothing to plug it into, not enough solar or amphours to run it off an inverter either, and the cupboard space is more valuable.

Run mine of the invert ok , but also start the engine so the B2B kicks in too, saving the load n the batteries, it just a few minutes in microwave.
Mind you I used to put my pies/pasties etc under the bonnet near the manifold when I turned up on site working a few yrs back. 20 minutes @ 2.0tDi middle shelf, Perfect

We hardly use ours at home Julian, and our inverter is only 300w, it's just never been a thing for us, when we have bought vans with one in, it's ended up in the garage or given away, Beside Liz prefers to cook from fresh, it would be handy to have but just pointless 99% of the time, not to mention the weight.

We're having one Kev, it will mean that Julie can cook up meals for a few days and freeze them ready to be defrosted and zapped in the van. Sometimes she does this at home when cooking a meal, she deliberately makes too much and freezes what she doesn't serve for another day.

Especially useful for when I go away in the van when I am on my own as I'm a bit of a liability in the kitchen!

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I'm not saying no one should have one Rob, it's a good option, just not for us.

Wondering if a microwave would be more useful than an air fryer if you didn't want both.

We're having both Mark and along with a double induction hob that should cover most needs I reckon.

Interesting, I wonder if one would be deemed a 'Substantial meal' when heated. It was once important.

I'm wrong actually Julian, apparently they are made by Walkers and not Taylors. (who also make award winning Pies apparently).
