Kievs can be good but most supermarket ones are shite. The chicken is usually too dry and they often leak in the oven, leaving a meagre spread of garlic sauce over the meat

I find Sainsbury's reconstituted ones ok, but the wife usually buys the "whole breast" version (£4.50 for 2) which are easier to keep moist. They do still occasionally leak the garlic butter, but on the upside that makes them safer to eat in a bap.

You can quite possibly get 4 whole breasts and a selection of garlic butter for £4.50 individually. It's hypocritical of me considering some of the shite I waste money on that I could do myself but that is mental, IMVHO.

Yes, but it's already been sliced, stuffed, stuck back together, floured, egged and breadcrumbed for me.  Breadcrumbing in particular is messy and wasteful, so i'm happy to leave it to the highly paid professional chefs in Sainsbury's kitchens for a small premium.

I saw a tip on Twitter, place the Kievs on bread which soaks up the butter.

I had half a glass of home made cider last night and had to go for a lie down soon after.

Only 46 litres left to drink.

Jakey bassa.

(OT: Proper Chicken Kyiv doesn't have any garlic butter at all. It's parsley butter.)

Looking at the bottles we have it's actually more like 24 litres. Dunno why I was told we had 46.

Husband bought a kit from the range I think and decided to give it a try. We used the flavour that came with the kit but despite it being strawberry & lime it tastes more like apple (think we used apple juice as a base). 

MiL and BiL can't decide whether it's dry or sweet but both agree it tastes like French cider. 

Haven't gotten round to defrosting my summer strawbs to make a proper strawberry and lime one.

Superb. Welcome to the addictive world of turning thing you can buy at the supermarket into strong alcohol. 

If it's too dry, use sweetener, rather than sugar, since the yeast will consume the sugar as in the.carbonation process. This can be considered my only top tip for cider production

Seen this the other day, yet to try it but it all makes sense!

I assume you mean Ooni, not trying to be a pedantic arsehole here, just dont know if there may be such a thing as an Omni..... However

My esteemed friend here is correct. And I would like to thank him for once again giving me a chance to heap praise on the Ooni pizza oven. I have the Koda which is gas only. Following the same principle as Barbecues, the wood pellet might impart* slightly better flavour, but the convenience and speed of gas means I use it way more than I would otherwise. 

Also, as far as bang for your buck and convenience go, I dont think you can do better really other than to build a big brick oven,  but even then, my belief is that you are into diminishing returns. 

 

*I read a load of forums before I bought. The wood flavour thing is debated. A lot of folk say that a thin pizza isnt in long enough for the fuel to make a blind bit of difference. 

 

 

TL;DR version.... Get it bought and you absolutely wont regret it.

Yes Ooni; I realise you are not being a pedant.

Intend to move abroad next year where I will have more time to use it but getting 12 months practise (particularly at my age) might be beneficial.

It's a fucking breeze tbh, but aye, it doesnt exactly take up much space it's very portable so get it bought now and get using it. Also, the other thing about gas powered, you can use it indoors (despite the manufacturers recommendation) I sometimes cook them in the garage if its pishing down outside. Maybe not for the kitchen, but garage is nae bother. Couldnt do that with the wood fired.
