I usually hate cookery programmes but this has to be the most entertaining I’ve seen. Brilliant as always. Thank you
😂😂 thanks Spence
I’ve never laughed so much at a cookery programme since the days of Keith Floyd (bless him)! He liked to keep well hydrated too, and sometimes some of the alcohol actually made it into the recipe. Thanks for cheering us all up - we shall follow you for more culinary tips, hacks and advice 👍
😂😂 thanks Sheila 🏴☠️🥃🥃
Puddin' sat there looking at you thinking "Silly Woman"
🤣🤣
Best laugh I’ve had for weeks Thanks
😂😂
Thank you, Heidi, for reminding us to put our smoke detectors fire alarms back together and to make sure that their operational. 🏠 I had a house built in 1897 that had electrical fire in the middle of the night, and a smoke alarm saved my life. 😍
Oh wow very lucky
Ha, ha a great cook up in spite of burning it, but staying hydrated saved the day.
Yes it’s important to stay hydrated 😃😃🥃🥃
I agree heat the cast iron oven up in the fire first then cook on top of the stove. Now that drink you had is a fantastic idea. ❤️ Keith
😂😂 I’m going to keep experimenting with it 😂
You are hilarious, Heidi! I think that the lesson learned here is that those cookers are meant for things that take a long time at low heat. Potatoes, etc. Don't build up the fire, direct heat on coals that have gone down to one layer, check after 1/2 an hour and adjust as needed. If you have to add coal, put it around the side of the cooker maybe or just one or two added underneath. Remember that it will keep cooking for a while after you get it out. You'll figure it out eventually. Invest in batteries for the smoke alarm! Great video.
😂😂 thanks Michelle, I’m going to keep trying with it haha 🏴☠️
You’re right Michelle haha😂
Loved this haha! Made us feel better about the many many potatoes we have burned! 🥔😅
😂😂 thanks guys, I’ve burned many a potato too 😂🏴☠️
Bless you. Had me in tears with so much laughter. Please more cooking experimenting. Bless you. Best wishes. Made my day. X
😂😂 aww thanks so much for your lovely comment, I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️🏴☠️
This is probably the most fun I've had watching a narrowboat cooking vlog. We always get a pre weekend cheer up on a Thursday evening.
Aww thanks Graham 😂
When I cook with my cast iron Dutch ovens, I use coals - not flames. So my suggestion would be not to put it into flames, but let your fire cool a bit until you just have glowing coals and then put it in the stove. I have never seen a pan like that before, I love it!
Thanks Evie, I’m going to experiment with it 😃
Evie is right. ❤️Her instructions are spot on
PS love the snot cam intro with Pudding as a cockerel 👍💪
😂😂 it took me ages to make that hahaha
Finally! A cooking channel I can relate to!
😂😂😂
A "bit burned". You have a gift for understatement.
😂😂😂
😂. I have never seen a 🥔 cooker. Very cool . 😂😂
You cook like I do!!!!!!!! 🎉 Thank you ~ I really really needed that laugh!!!! 🤩
😂😂
cooking is a journey
I try not to get to hydrated while I’m cooking 😉 and they say charcoal is a natural purifier 😂 , I think your attempt was a noble effort and you never learn unless you try. That reminds me I think I needs to hydrate meself. Great video. ❤️
Cheers 😄🥃🏴☠️
I have never seen one of those cookers. How cool. When cooking with cast iron on a fire you want to place it on coals.
I was glued to this vlog,I was expecting Jamie Oliver to leap out of the canal , Brilliant 😂😂😂
Shiver me timbers Heidi, Pirates in the kitchen, whatever next? I was pleased to see you keep a nice clean top but it was a shame about your burnt bottom! When you were lifting the Dutch oven in and out of the fire with the hook we were singing the theme tune to Thunderbirds! You even looked like you'd got a hook for a hand! Aaaargh, look forward to the next one me heartie. Xx
😂😂 thanks Barbara, I need more practise with my cast iron doo dah though 😂🏴☠️ thunderbirds are gooooo !
Oh that was so funny, I know it’s not polite to laugh but I couldn’t help myself. It reminds me of my cooking flops, trying to somehow fix the problem. I need the rum, that’s a must have!
😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣❤lovely idea, just not if your hungry. Maybe next time just 5mins in the stove.
Haha yes I’m going to keep experimenting
Thanks for the laughs
😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it 🏴☠️
Oh that was so funny! Good to see I’m not the only one who efforts the dogs and ducks refuse! Stick to the liquid diet 😁😁🐾🐾😜xx
😂😂
Heidi ,I would have eaten that no problem my omelettes always come out burnt ,glad to see that you kept hydrated reminded me of the late Keith Floyd legend ,and so are you stay safe Heidi and wet wipes I find clean the glass of the stove best x
Yes I use wet wipes in the morning but it soon soots up 😂 thanks for watching and I’ll keep experimenting with the cast iron cooker and the rum 😂😂
I think wait until it's glowing coals not flames, then heat the cast iron thingy for 5 mins, take it out, brush it inside with oil or butter, dollop omlette mixture into it, put it back in fire on the glowing coals for only 4 or 5 mins, then take it out. Your dog is adorable!
Aww thanks, I am going to keep experimenting with it … Puddin is snoring his head off at the moment 😂😂
It's your video and you could edit it anyway you wanted. It takes character to show the world your mistakes. It makes the rest of us feel pretty inadequate when we watch videos where everything ALWAYS goes to plan. Thanks for letting us see that you, like us, are human! We really love your channel.
Aww thanks again for your lovely comment Roger 😃 I’m glad you are enjoying the videos 😃🏴☠️
Very entertaining 👏. Don't give up. Look forward to the next culinary video.
😂😂 thanks 🏴☠️
That dog is adorable! Great video!
Thank you 😃❤️🏴☠️
So funny and I'm really glad I decided to follow you and watch from the beginning.
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Certainly no Gordon Ramsey Love your videos and humour
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
I'd try lining the bottom with buttered, sliced bread then put the egg mix on top of the bread.. I'm sure it'd be delicious ;)
Oooh I may try that 😃🏴☠️
Good one😂 we have a saying where I come from; burnt food is great for improving one’s singing voice😀👍
😂😂😂
Love your sense of humour. "Stay hydrated ... chug a lug!" and "crack on" as you're cracking the egg. Fun video. cheers! 🙂
Cheers Ann 😃🏴☠️❤️
What a neat little cast iron cooker. Try putting it in the oven first (Empty) to get it nice & hot, thing bring it out and put your mix in, and cook it on the table top. I cook corn bread in an iron skillet all the time this way.
I’m going to keep experimenting with it, thank you 😃🏴☠️
Thanks for another video !! Stay safe and take care !!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
I would go with that....even the burnt part, bread and butter, job done :)
😂😂🏴☠️
Must be the most entertaining omelette ever cooked on tube. Do like a well oiled cook er. Another great vid, stay safe Bab..
😂🏴☠️ thanks Bob
we watch you while eating so was very excited when you started cooking, when it was slow to heat up I shouted put it in the stove, which you then did great minds think alike and continued eating when you pulled out that cooker I nearly choked and Kelly could not have helped for laughing, Pudding looked like seen it all before, LOL Ps I would love one of those cast iron potato cookers
😂😂 I’m going to keep practising with it but it’s going to take some getting used too 😂😂😂🏴☠️
Just loved this vlog.
You made us laugh so much.
You are so funny.
Love watching you.
Keep up the great vlogs.
Aww thanks so much for your lovely comment 😄🏴☠️
I’ve come to the conclusion that Rosie and Jim are Nimphos 😂😂😂😎
😂😂😂
My other half and I always get a kick out of your vlogs (and it's not the tipple we're drinking either). You're one very entertaining 'Rum Wench'.
Hugs & cuddles to wee Pudding, Jackie & of course yourself! 🐕🥰
PS. Love your music, too!
Aww thanks so much for your lovely comment guys 😄🏴☠️ cheers 🏴☠️🥃😂
What a great vlog Heidi…I loved it..very entertaining, and you showed me not what to do..🤣😂 the best part was watching you keep hydrated throughout the cooking process..🥂 It’s so important to stay hydrated at all times. Look forward to your next cooking Vlog..🤣🥰 stay safe and happy cruising…❤️
Hahaa thanks Vicki 😂🏴☠️
The dolls again 🤣🤣 at least you don't eat twig's berries and fungus all the time😂Good belly laugh once again! Thank you 😊
😂😂 thank you 🏴☠️
Heidi, thank you for sharing this video! I just got my potato cooker so I will be trying things out. Stay safe out there! Cheers, Shannon
If you get it to work, let me know 😂😂
Way to go! Looks fine. You will get it. Would be nice to have a lamb or beef stew going in a cast iron pot on top of the coal stove. Low heat. Just need more lead time. Love that potato cooker.
Thanks Wayne 😂 it’s currently in the back of the cupboard 😂😂
Get in there Jim.
😂😂
I think you were in danger of becoming as Hydrated as a Newt.😁😁😜😜
😂😂
Carry on cooking episode
Fantastic Heidi 😄
Thanks David 😂😂
Needed that laugh, what a marvellous omelette! Thank you!
😂😂😂
Burnt part is the BEST part! I’d have eaten it all…🤓👍🏼
😂😂 it absolutely stunk the boat out
Loved your vlog. See you have a Mr D too. Now that is amazing. My family clubbed together and bought me one for my 70th birthday last year. Would love a wood burner again and would definitely get a cast iron potato +++ like yours. Loving your site, only just found you do have much happy watching to look forward to
Aww thanks for the lovely comment Liz, yes I bought my Mr Ds about 8 years ago and it’s fantastic and I use it all the time ❤️🏴☠️
I thought you were going all Keith Floyd on us until you opened the Lemonade.
I’m a lightweight ! 😂
Good effort there Heidi,ten for effort👏 Don’t think narrowboat “Holly” has owt to worry about🤗
Keep up the good work
😂😂
My mum would always say “when it’s black it’s done”. Well done on your try, just needs a bit of perfecting. I’m sure the hydration helped.
I always keep hydrated 😃🏴☠️
So funny. Love it.
Thank you 😂🏴☠️
Just like mum use to make me. All blackened on the outside and good on the inside
😂😂
I was a Scoutmaster and it took me five years before my Scouts would eat anything that I did in a Dutch Oven. Pre warming and low coals was the secret. Walt Duba, Morro Bay, CA, USA
I’m going to keep experimenting 😂😂
One more important point is to make sure that your cast iron cooker is well seasoned (see UA-cam) and then don't over clean it. It should always look a bit greasy. Walt
Some people cook with wine. You do a very good job of cooking with rum (and lemonade). Cheers from Aus.
Thanks Clark 😂😂
you enjoyed that first sip a bit too much 😂 awesome content , amazing energy! yarrrrrrrr
Aww thank you 😃🏴☠️
Made my day🤣🤣🤣brilliant 💕
😂😂😂
Oh hell couldnt stop laughing, the important lesson learnt was staying hydrated 😁. Better luck next time.🤞
😂😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it 😃🏴☠️
ha ha your just a star keep up with good vidios rrrr me heartis.
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Well Done, that was very funny. You’re a right Fanny Cradock!
😂😂
oh heidi you do cheer me up, so entertaining this week, dont ever change you are a real tonic.xx
Aww thanks Glenda 😃🏴☠️
Once you suss that cast iron thing out, I reckon the omelettes will taste delicious Heidi! x
😂😂 I hope so Vince 😄🏴☠️
crackin! i love this channel to bits. Wholesome xxxx from denmark, copenhagen, fiskerhavnen
Thank you very much, it’s great to have you onboard 😃🏴☠️
Hi Heidi!!! Loving your videos and sending you warm hugs from your new subscriber from Ohio, USA! My husband and I were watching UA-cam and saw a video by you and been hooked since. Again, looking forward to your future adventures and blessings always.
Aww thanks so much 😁❤️🏴☠️
Brilliant 😂😂😂especially the way you make sure you stay hydrated. 😂😂
You can add a bit of water to omelette if you’ve not got milk.
That looked yummy apart from the burnt bit. ♥️
😂😂😂 thanks Carole 😃🏴☠️
Haven't long found your channel. This was so funny, I laughed until I cried 🤣. Absolutely, bloody brilliant 🤟💖
Aww thanks Jude 😂 I’m a terrible cook haha
Lemonade fixes everything. Nothing wrong with a little charcoal but that can be scraped away. Enjoy the day.
I blame the lemonade 😂 thanks Richard
BAHAHAHAHAHA! Remind us to come over for a drink. We'll skip tea. Lol x
😂😂 bring chips!
All I can say is 😂😂😂, that was too much fun. I knew it was going wrong when you plopped it all in a cold iron pot! You must warm iron first. But oh my the entertainment value of this cooking vlog was off the charts! Keep up the good work Heidi and maybe next time just drink more rum and lemonade❤️. Have a lovely week.
Aww thanks for your lovely comment Dawn 😃 yes I completely buggered it up 😂 but I’m going to keep trying 😂😂🏴☠️
Cold cast iron not gonna cook anything 😂
Loved this.
😂😂 thank you 🏴☠️
Ooops!😊
Great video, you really made me laugh and I absolutely love Pudding! ❤
😂😂 aww thanks, he wasn’t impressed with my cooking skills 😂🏴☠️
Carry On! or as said in your land...crack on! Gosh that was a bit of a disaster. Your can do attitude is an inspiration. You will crack the code of the cast iron cooker. Its very cute.
😂😂 yes I’m determined to keep experimenting with it haha 😂🏴☠️
Great…….especially for someone who did hotel management and some cheffing😅
😂😂 not on fires though hahaa
heard of the galloping goumey but that was the paddling pudding, thanks for the laugh i will stick to corn flakes..xx
I wish I had done cornflakes instead 😂😂
Am crying with laughter here 😂😂😂
😂😂
Good effort, 👏👏👏👍
Thanks Martyn 😂😂
I'll have me tea before I come over . No really , that's ok ! 😅
😂😂😂
That was fun
😂😂
So loved this video 👍🏽 😊👍🏽
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Good show, cheers!
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Just watched this for the first time. Still playing catchup on all your great videos. I did laugh out loud when I saw how burnt it was. Hehe 😂🤪 but it did look tasty
Eggsellent video.
😂😂
Handling fire on a boat under influence.... Errrmmm Yup added to my check list 🤣
😂😂😂 cheers!
This made me belly chuckle 😃
Aww I’m glad, we have to have a laugh don’t we 😃🏴☠️
We certainly do need a laugh, so much doom and gloom on social media these days. On another note need to see the "success" video. I have just bought a log burner and want to cook on it. Have you mastered this cast iron cocoon yet?
@@UK_Outdoors. I haven’t yet to be honest … I threw it back in the cupboard to collect dust, however I’ll be trying again soon 😂😂
Good luck, I'll be keeping an eye out for it
Thank the lord you didn’t feed it to Pudding, poor little boy would have been bunged up for weeks. At least the magnet fishermen will have something to retrieve from the canal now😁😁😁
😂😂
What a great video lovely x
😂😂
LOL We live and learn so they say.
😂😂
Hi Heidi.Greeting from Vancouver Island...you made my morning with great things you get up to ...!!one things I've always kept on boat is powered milk if I ran out of fresh milk.not too tasty to drink in a glass but good in baking.....
Ooh yes a brilliant idea…I’m drink fresh black coffee so only get it in when I’m expecting guests so that’s a fab idea 😃🏴☠️
Well, you weren’t away from doing it right! It’s a trial and error thing. Just needed less fire. If you closed the air to the fire and less time would do the job! ❤ Love!! 😍
Congratulations, 6K subscribers.
Oh wow thanks, I have only just noticed ❤️ I am absolutely made up! whooop! Thanks so much 🏴☠️😃🎉
Lol, better than my cooking.
😂😂
That looked like perfect caramelisation to me.
At least that's my excuse when I cremate stuff on the barbecue.
We gave our potatoe cookers away after we found that they don't get hot enough on top of the stove.
Haha I’m determined to suss this thing out 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate
The cooking pot thing will probably work better if you can shift some of the coals across and make a space for it to sit on the grate rather than directly on the coals.
We can't do that with our because it's an oil burning stove and there isn't any space for one.
We do wrap potatoes in tin foil though and chuck em in on the sides for a couple of hours and they are perfect.
I don't think that there is enough direct contact between the bottom of the cast iron thingy and the top of the stove, to allow for enough heat transfer.
Okay for warming mince pies but actual cooking would take ages if at all.
Good luck anyway 👍
Hello Heidi when you sus the potato cooker out let us know and we will dig our 1 out of the cupboard we gave up with ours years ago. It seemed like a good idea when we bought it haha.
😂😂 I am determined to suss it out 😂🏴☠️
