Were you a heathen and cooked the fillet steak in the air fryer

 

[Chris]

Chris are you well as you are liking my posts, you do realise I'm in France.

No. I am mentally unfit to be posting.

Please get me sectioned.

Wash your mouth out, only the chips were done in the air fryer steak on the bbq nice and rare.

Did our "cheap as chips" Lidls steaks tonight. Marinated in oil with lots of pepper for an hour or so then fried, did mine for only two minutes a side, Mrs DBK's done 4 minutes a side. Then rested in a warm oven while I added a glass of red wine to the pan and reduced it down to the point it starts spitting. Served with salady stuff. It was tasty.

Ready for the off. Chef's glass already primed.

The result.

Mightily impressed at how clean and polished you've got your hob.

 

[Steve and Denise]

Is there no decent places to eat ?

 

[Minxy]

I could have uprated mine from 3500kg to 3800kg without any mods to the suspension, so it must be designed to run at those sorts of weights.

Is yours on the heavy chassis? If not just going to 3800kg on paper wouldn't increase the axle capacities.

Like Lenny we are over. Not that much though. I would not worry, if you ring SVTech they would simply upplate it to 3,850 as a paper exercise.

But won't increase the axle capacities to carry the extra weight, they'd remain the same.

No they won't it needs rear air suspension especially for the rear to go to 2250

That's my view too as Lenny has the light chassis like us, albeit the newer model, we could've gone to 3850kg with ours as a pure paper exercise but the axle capacities would've stayed as they were (1850 + 2000) however we needed extra carrying capacity on the rear axle so semi-air was required to take it up to 2240kg.

Cleaned afterwards! But then you can't beat a Murvi kitchen for space.

I know you spent all your pension on the new van but surely you can afford a meal out now and again!

 

[TinaLes]

What was The French Steak like chaps?
Or you cant say yet as you are still chewing.
I do like DBK's method, give the meat every chance of being tender by marinating as long as time allows at room temp, then resting to allow the juices to come out.

They were fine. We've had the Lidl's pre-packed steaks before and not had a bad one yet.

 

[Mr porky]

I agree,last night the steak (from lidl) we shared. It was a little thin but still nice. Always let a steak come to room temperature before cooking and always let it rest after cooking.
P.s the potatoes are par boiled then coated in olive oil,veg oil and a little truffle oil and finely grated parmesan cheese before cooking in the air fryer.
The steak is added to a dry hot pan as olive oil is added to the steak before cooking.

We are on light chassis and it came out of factory at 3650, dealer was supposed to get SV TECH to uprate to 3850 but they wouldn't/couldn't on the chassis it's on so I got uprated front springs (Lenny HB already has these) and rear air then dealer paid SV to plate to 4000 with 2250 on rear. As lenny already has front springs he may be able to go up but as Minxy says you still only have 2000 on rear.

Mine is the light chassis. I know about axle weights but was just saying the vehicle could be uprated if a few hundred kg needed. Up to the driver to make sure weight is distributed correctly.
I have semi air & uprated tyres on mine , so could increase rear axle as well if i chose to.

I am sat here eating my weetabix (Two) and looking at all these steak photos and I am starting to dribble with the thought of them.

I wouldn’t bother getting the bowl out just for two!! FOUR minimum

 

[Northernraider]

I like my steak blue......a good vet could bring it back to life.

But lovely and tender then .

 

[Figaro]

Did our "cheap as chips" Lidls steaks tonight. Marinated in oil

Those steaks look vastly more appetizing than your globe artichokes, but I must admit to never having eaten one to my knowledge, so perhaps I shouldn't condemn them without sampling

That explains your shape.

I am in Belgium and I claim a win in spot the pothole,it's just a series of potholes with bits of concrete and tarmac on Between!

Sums it up. How to stop rattles … drive in France (or Spain).
