HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 
Hi all, I made the inspired decision whilst on the market today to buy a couple of steak puddings for our tea on sunday. Then once I got home it struck me that I have no clue as to how to cook the things!!! As they are off the market they have no packaging or instructions, so here is my question . . . . . .


How do you cook a steak pudding?

Many thanks

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 
Believe me Sparkie, I am no expert, but you don't cook/bake them, you steam them.

If you haven't got a steamer, would put in a pan with water half way up and simmer, pan lid on .. not sure of the cooking time, but if meat raw could be a few hours, however, presume the meat is already cooked and just needs warming up, so 40 minutes ? .. just a guess like, haven't done one myself for years ... :D

There will be ladies on here later in the day to give you more expert advice I am sure.

Near enough Kate but not quite so much water 1/4 full should be plenty as should 30mins.

I always though that you put water in pan (half way up the pudding cases), lid on and simmered for about 45 minutes. Could be wrong though :rolleyes: am no expert when it comes to cooking :D

to steam them the water shouldn't be touching the pudding or you are in effect boiling them!. I have a thing that is like a fan that opens up to whatever size pan its put in with legs about 1/2 inch to hold it off teh bottom, you put water to just below where it comes to, put teh pudding on stop and then steam with a tight fitting lid on for 25 mins if defrosted, 45 -1 hour if frozen or 2 hours if raw meet inside.

Apologies first to our gentlemen ... did say when the ladies come on here, 'course the men are good at preparing their steak puds. too .... :D

I used to have one of those fan things Entwisi ... someone bought it for me ... always wondered what it was and how you use it ... LOL. Still, granddaughter used to amuse herself for hours playing with it until some of the segments dropped off .. :rolleyes:

Ta peeps!!

Steak puds for tea today it is!!! I'll let you know how it goes.

They're from clayton park bakeries so I would presume the meat is cokked already and just needs heating through.

Many thanks

Re: HELP!!! re: steak puddings
 
I'll be putting them in the steamer me thinks, never had that boil away yet so can't get that bit wrong!!!!

I usually cover the tops of the pudings with tinfoil as the other half(who is the one who eats them) doesn't like the tops soggy.......!
