The Quick Roasting Tin (Rukmini’s Roasting Tin)

Product Information

This one scores extra for keeping dishes hot for far longer than thinner, metal tins, so it’s ideal for moussaka, lasagne or oven-to-table dishes. I was a wee bit disappointed at the lack of meat dishes in this, given there’s a vegetarian version available. Mix the garlic, ginger, yogurt, lemon zest, spices and salt together and gently turn the salmon fillets over in this mixture. Her cookbooks include 'The Roasting Tin' and 'The Green Roasting Tin', and her next cookbook 'The Quick Roasting Tin' is out with Square Peg in June 2019.

It works beautifully with the lightly spiced sweet potato and tomatoes, just make sure you use one or two tins big enough to get all the sweet potatoes in a single layer, and cut the sweet potatoes into very small pieces so they cook in 30 minutes. Note: I've said to blanch the Tenderstem as it improves the texture on roasting, but you can use ordinary broccoli instead if you prefer and skip this stage. As someone who’s recently been cooking their way through the incredible Dishoom cookbook, I'll just say: the recipes are amazing but they are demanding.From worknight dinners to family favourites, make-ahead lunchboxes to date night feasts, these are simple crowd-pleasing meals you will want to cook time and time again. The Quick Roasting Tin offers more of Rukmini’s genius recipe ideas, this time with a focus on speed. Good book for: Those who want to enjoy nutritious food made from scratch, but don’t have time to spend on preparation-heavy dishes. Maximum temperature: The tin needs to be able to handle high heats over and over again, otherwise it’ll buckle and render itself useless. We picked out the tins that helped makes an even roast, crisping skin and added a crunchy edge to the spuds without burning on the sides or warping when we carried the food from oven to counter.

I love everything about them, from the gorgeous looking food to the friendly and down to earth writing, but mostly I love the concept. A shallow, circular trough in the centre of the pan meant that we did check and move them around from tie to time as oil could gather there, however.

Her aim is to transform Britain's midweek meals one roasting tin dinner at a time from omnivores to vegans, flexitarians to families or households of one or two. Some of the pans we looked at were not recommended to be used on direct heat, so no gravy making on the hob for those, but others could happily warm on induction rings and even be placed directly on barbecues and grills. This is my all-in-one dinner version of my sister Padmini’s tandoori salmon, one of our favourite weeknight dinners when we were flatmates. I could eat this punchy dressing – packed with fish sauce, peanuts, lime and coriander – slathered over almost anything.

You can add cut shapes from the excess pastry and stick them on top with a little beaten egg, if you’re feeling artistic. This book is perfect for anyone who wants fresh, delicious, hassle-free food and minimal washing up! We liked the practicality of this set of three tins from ProCook, all of them fitting snugly into the other for perfect cupboard storage. The ingredients are quick to access, but not necessarily pantry basics, so you feel like you’re still cooking an elevated repertoire of food especially for weeknights. Good user-friendly chapters and plenty of healthy plant-based options, which work for a vegan or flexitarian diet or having in something suitable and imaginative for guests.

I use a roasting tin that's roughly 20 x 30cm (8 x 12"), which comfortably manages 200-300g of couscous. Rukmini left the law to retrain as a chef, working for Tom Kitchin at 'The Kitchin' in Edinburgh before moving to London to do what she loves best - food styling, recipe writing and development. The Roasting Tin and The Green Roasting Tin cookbooks have revolutionised the way we cook, helping us put delicious, flavoursome, exciting and balanced dishes on the table with their flexible, chuck-it-in-the-oven approach. Most manufacturers prefer you to hand-wash roasting pans, always allowing them to cool before immersing in water to avoid metal buckling or cast iron cracking. Handle: Handles or a lip can make moving the tin in and out of the oven easier, but handles that are too high use up valuable oven space.
