Do you have some devilishly cunning way of stopping stuff sticking to the bottom? When I was young, I had to leave the burned-on remains of a coq au vin out in the back garden for two weeks before the local cats managed to remove the residue.
Proper attention to regularly seasoning the pans and not letting stuff burn!!

Season cast iron with cooking oil to create a non stick surface

My experiments thus far suggests lard is the most effective. One seasoning suggestion I found was to bake the pans upside down in the oven, this also seems to work.
Any thoughts from your experience?

Quick and lazy curry recipe.

Fry onions, garlic and preferred curry spices in a pan, not too hot. (You can blend them if you want when soft, but don't need to) Add desired meat / vegetables. When browned to your liking, add a carton of fresh soup, I like a lentil soup, but works well with carrot and coriander, vegetable soup or the like. Leave to simmer for as long as you want and serve when you're ready.

Maybe the flapjack didn't need so long in the oven, or maybe a smaller tin so it's thicker. Worth experimenting a bit.

All in all sounds like a great success!

Made Flapjack 2.0 this week. I left this one for the suggested time in the oven and it came out a bit crumbly. No problems with taste though.

So next time I'll give it ten minutes longer because I think the sugar cane doesn't have the stickyness of treacle.

Have you seen the three ingredient cookies in the other thread? Sounds like it might be worth a try too. I expect bananas are available in Germany :smile:
