How to Make the Perfect Sprouts This Christmas
Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta Serve up everyone’s festive favourite veg this Christmas with our delicious, easy to prepare recipe. Prepare the sprouts by trimming the ends and removing any hard outer leaves. The next step to delicious sprouts is to quickly place them in a large pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and transfer them to icy cold water to stop the cooking process. This process is called blanching, and helps them to cook faster and maintains the delicious colour, flavour and nutrients after cooking. In a large frying pan, or casserole dish, fry your pancetta with the garlic until crispy, then add the sprouts to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes before serving. Ingredients 1kg Brussel Sprouts 100g Pancetta 2tsp Crushed Garlic

How to Care for Your Knives
Whatever your cooking skill level, a good set of kitchen knives is a must-have for every home cook. Having reliable and sharp knives to hand makes preparing meals much quicker and easier, so it’s important to know how to best care for them so you can keep them working effectively for longer.Here are some useful tips on how to look after your knives: Keeping knives in your cutlery drawer makes them go blunt more quickly. Store them separately, either on a magnetic rack, in a divided tray or block, and keep them well out of children's reach. Use wood or plastic chopping boards to cut on as these won’t blunt the blade as much as marble or glass. A blunt knife makes it difficult to chop ingredients and putting added pressure on the blade increases the risk of hurting yourself. Handwash knives right after using them. Avoid placing knives in the dishwasher, even if the manufacturer says it’s safe. A dishwasher cycle can corrode both the handle and blade and breaks in between rinsing can give rust the chance to develop. Do not leave knives to soak – it’s easy to forget they’re at the bottom of the sink! Always dry knives immediately after washing to avoid rusting. Use separate knives for preparing raw and cooked foods. Hone and sharpen your knives regularly to maintain a sharp edge. If it’s time to update your kitchen knives or add to your existing collection, you can check out the full range of Blackmoor knives here.

What is an Induction Hob and How Does it Work?
Always wondered what makes an induction hob different from gas or electric? Let's break it down... Rather than heating your hob, an induction hob heats your pans directly. Like gas and electric hobs, it’s both fast and precise so will be simmering away in no time. Plus, because the hob isn’t heated directly, this avoids burnt-on food so it’s no hassle to keep your induction hob clean. To generate heat, induction coils beneath the hob create a magnetic field as electricity is passed through them. When a pan with a magnetised base is placed on the hob, the magnetic field will cause it to heat up directly. The hob itself remains cool, except for some residual heat from the pans, and non-magnetic pans put in the same place will remain cold. Underneath the glass ceramic, a fan is set in motion that can automatically turn itself on during cooking to cool the electronic components. This fan will run until the appliance is sufficiently cooled and then will turn itself off. What pans can you use?Because of the way induction cooking works, you need specific types of pots and pans. These have flat bases made of ferrous or ‘magnetic’ metal - pans with non-magnetic undersides will not work with induction hobs. Here at Blackmoor, all our pans are suitable to be used on induction hobs. Useful tips To clean your induction hob, give it a quick wipe with a damp cloth after cooking For a more thorough clean, you can occasionally use a ceramic glass cleaner Always ensure the hob is cool before cleaning it Do not heat cookware when it is empty to avoid it becoming discoloured Start heating at a lower temperature and adjust upwards as needed Avoid aluminium foil coming into contact with the induction hob Check out the full range of Blackmoor’s induction hob friendly pots and pans here.
