More fun at Allerton Abby!

I was going to hard Boil eggs so we could eat them at lunch... then I thought it was pretty hard to prove the egg wasn't already cooked! So I also cooked some potatoes for good measure. Only after did I think that you could cheat in the same way. Really I was just thinking about lunch.

This is uncooked spinach going on the rocket cooktop!



This me taking off the spinach I sauteed on the rocket cooktop! The rocket cooktop gets really hot really quick, so it barely took me any time to sautee the spinach!

I think this sums it up:


At the 2019 PEP Jamboree, I started a fire inside Allerton Abbey cooked some potatoes and onions with herbs on the rocket cooktop at Allerton Abbey.

Sorry, starting and finishing egg pictures are backwards. The pan was so hot that as soon as I threw it in, it started cooking.
