    As for expanding your culinary horizons, replicating a McMuffin is surely a step back!? :eek2:

    Sounds like year 7 Home Economics. However, for those who didn't even get that far, many of the things Hellfire mentioned above come as ready meals. ;)

    Poaching eggs is very simple, hearing of them even more so, so excuse me if it means that I don't think you cooking skills are honed yet.

    na it's just yeah it's easy.. but i never made em before.. I am actually a good cook:)

    they are, yes. they also dont give you that satisfaction of having cooked a meal from scratch. whenever i make something i always feel satisfied if i have cooked it from scratch and it tastes semi-decent (alas, its not often that happens due to my numerous culinary disasters!)

    I hate all ready meals apart from the Chinese ones at Marks and Spencer's.

    What do you consider to be from scratch? Mincing your own meat and making your own tomato sauce?

    I can make a vegetarian chilli from scratch...look out Nigella! (Wishful thinking, I'm probably more of a Gordon Ramsay :p )

    Ready meals are inherently evil...they taste like shit, are as unhealthy as you can get (even the "healthy" ones) and anything that is good in them is zapped by your microwave.

    McDonalds is preferable...and that's saying something.

    You can poach an egg by boiling up a pan of water with a little bit of vinegar in it, take it off the heat for a second, swirl the water round with a spoon to make a whirlpool, quickly crack the egg into the centre and it shouldn't splurge out everywhere and resemble a jellyfish, then stick it back on the boil til it's done to your liking

    or

    you can go down Wilko's and get a microwave egg poacher for 99p. Bargain....And they come out just like McDonalds ones do. Just make sure you wrap the poacher thing in clingfilm before you stick it in the microwave, and pierce the eggs yolk. It's a bugger trying to clean up exploded egg.

    Slice one muffin in half and grill one side of it.

    Place sausage in muffin. Place a cheese slice on top of sausage then melt it, and put lid on muffin.

    Dont forget the special spit included in most fast food :lol:

    I poached an egg t'other day...forgot to put vinegar in the pan though and it kinda fell apart into about 20 pieces. :(

    You can buy metal rings that you put into a frying pan to cook a perfectly round fried egg. You have to remember to turn it over though. ;)

    It cooks quicker if you turn it over.
