how on earth can I cook mince without a frypan?

[Lirael]

I have no gas in my stove.
I have some mince that needs to be cooked. how can I cook it in oven/microwave/grill?

What are you going to cook it with... I mean what dish are you making?

[bris_mummy-to-be17]

could you use the BBQ? ... i dunno what you're making but i imagine you could cook rissoles on the grill or something? do you have one of those electric pans? geez.. i never realised how hard it is to cook things without a stove!!

[cwsmum]

You could probably microwave it...just do it slowly and stir it/break it up as it cooks...no idea how it would taste tho.

im not making anything inparticular as I have no idea how to cook it. dont have electric frypan. the grill is not a BBQ grill its a grill in oven to toast stuff.

i think im gonna have to waste the mince:thumbsdown:

You can cook it in the microwave.

5 mins on medium high, stir and break up and repeat in 5 miute lots until cooked. Then drain off any liquid and your done!

:chef: You could make some hamburgers and grill them, serve with chips and salad or veggies.

heres some ideas too =)


Quick and Easy Spaghetti Bolognaise.
500gms minced beef
1 500ml jar of pasta sauce
1 400gm tin of diced tomatoes
1 400gm tin of sliced champignons, drained
1 500gm packet of pasta, cooked according to packet directions
Grated parmesan cheese to serve
Place mince into a microwave safe dish, cover, and cook on high for 5 minutes. Drain off liquid and break mince lumps up with a fork. Add the pasta sauce, the tomatoes and the champignons, cover dish and microwave on medium for 10 minutes. Take off lid and stir. Return to microwave and cook, uncovered on medium for another 10 minutes. Serve with spaghetti and parmesan. Serves 6.


Got a bit of extra time and would like some more flavour? Add one diced onion, 2 tsp of minced garlic and ½ a diced zucchini to the mince in the first step. Instead of cooking on high for five minutes, cook on high for 7 minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients and cook as previously instructed.


Cheat’s Lasagne
250gm’s minced beef
2 cups grated cheese (tasty or cheddar)
1 cup boiling water
1 400gm can of tomato soup
1 beef stock cube
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained of liquid
2 TBS tomato paste
1 packet instant lasagne sheets
Mix together the minced beef, can of tomato soup, cup of boiling water, beef stock cube, oregano, diced tomatoes, garlic and tomato paste, making sure to break lumps of mince with a fork. Place 1/3 of the meat sauce into the bottom of a greased lasagne dish, and then cover with some lasagne sheets, then a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce. Place dish into a pre-heated 180 degree oven, and cook, covered in foil, for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, remove the foil and top with the remaining cheese and cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes.
Serves 4-5.




i think these would work? i dunno they were the only ones i could find! lol. but looks like you've got some good choices. so good luck. let us know what you end up doing and how it tastes!

This is how my MIL makes hers spaghetti bolognaise, but quite often I just pour it all into a casserole dish and cook straight in the oven, so need for the stove ...

400g mince
2 cans tomato soup
1 onion
salt and pepper
salad herbs

Heat tomato soup, mince and onion. Simmer for 4-5 mins. Turn into casserole dish and cook in oven for 1/2 hour. Stir throught cooking - adding herbs towards end. When ready, cook pasta and serve.

You could microwave the mince and then cook lasagne!!

[Jenko]

I'd make little meatballs or rissoles and bake them in the oven. Or what about a meatloaf.
