As most know me & Rich love hunting our local charity shops well not hunting I guess in a way the "gifts" seem to come to us
I've allways wanted a "Chicken Brick" well today we got one an original Romertopf !!! perfect condition, instructions the very kindly person that sent us this find even wrote her personal instructions for the care & use of it!!! It must at some stage been a used and treasured kitchen possesion by this person as it will be now
It was £3 btw
We chat to several of the ladies that run the charity shop, we where chatting away about Richies Wok for £2 he uses for a smoker and I spotted a lovely HUGE etched velvet shawl hanging up I said to Rich shall I get it.. cause he said yes it was marked £4 literally all we had left...
The lady we where talking to didnt realise this but promply grabbed it offa me & said (very welsh accent) "Nooooo £2 that is" was well chuffed and after our shopping spree ended up still with some £1 shop tokens left
My Shawl

I can't believe what you find in the charity shops by you, all we get is 'rubbish'!!! _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

I've got one of those chicken bricks, my sis gave me it years ago as she doesn't cook as such. It's great and the food always tastes better done in a slow oven in one. Great bargains and the shawl is beautiful.
so how does a chick brick work then? _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

You just put your food in it and bung it in the oven Libby, can't use it on a stove top though. I brown and season the food first then transfer it to slow cook.
doesn't it absorb flavours and being terracota, how do you wash it??
