01:30day i haven't thought that far yet yeah it's not about me it's about the family and the kids

01:37yeah it's the quality time it's not about the food yeah very true thanks ever so much rob and

01:43it's been fascinating watching all the best sir take care thank you and again it will take

01:49slightly longer for me if you do it in a pan i always feel it's the best thing reason being

01:56the heat is equal if you do it in something like glass i feel that the heat element is not as good

02:04i feel it steams with a pan because the heat is so consistent all the way through

02:10get that crispiness but it's been very simple to make through

02:15so that's why i'm as i say a pan is always a good joy for me i'll buy pans without handling

02:21in the oven it's like if i cook a whole chicken usually i'll do several different ways a whole

02:29chicken i'll steam it or boil it with lots of flavor take it out and then i'll finish it in

02:35the oven again i'll put it in the pan lots of like herbs garlic and then after i'll take it

02:41out when it's ready add a little butter and then just coat it and you add that coating this you

02:47add an extra flavor when you take butter to a certain temperature you get a nice nutty smell

02:53from it and then it gives it just that extra wonderful flavor through
