I'm 20 miles down the coast west from you, and it would be great if you would do a book signing session on release?
Ordered. Looking forward to it. Yes George!!!
I'm sorry for keep going about the book George I'm off to preorder it now and congratulations
Well done George! Congratulations, can’t wait
Ahhhhhh YES!!!
George,as per that looks great. theres not much to my pot noodle hack but its cheap and effective since 2007 when i started it.beef and tomato pot noodle.crumble up an oxo cube before pouring on the water and give it a kick of worchestshire and shiracha along with the included ketchup when cooked.
George have you tried freezing your inventions, for airfrying at a later date ?? Looking at making some soon but would like to make a few for future consumption cheers
Also which oil do you use
That's a great idea. I haven't but you must! And let me know how it goes.
I heard you chatting to Craig about this recipe on Radio 6, my son’s a slightly fussy eater but loves cereal so thought I’d give a less sugary version a try… safe to say he couldn’t stop snacking on it!! Cheers George! (My attempt definitely didn’t look as ‘loafy’ as yours)
Snack Hacker can you pimp a fillet 0’fish ?
top work mr egg !
Feel sorry for your wife tonight! lol
I got the 'modern pressure cooking' book that you showed a few times on your channel. Use it all the time now particularly for chinese pork belly. Cheers for all the tips.
It's such a good book isn't it
@@georgeegg2 Yeah we've had a pressure cooker in the cupboard for years unused. Growing up in the 80s my mother taught me that pressure cookers and deep fat fryers were close in danger to Soviet nuclear weapons. Now I'm happy to whack the pressure cooker out a few times a week. Still won't go within a mile of a deep fat fryer though.
Really enjoyed this one! But you’ve actually encouraged me to do the more complicated recipe
That sounds like a win to me. More cooking = a good day
Every video…EVERY SINGLE ONE…makes me super hungry. Top work, George Egg!
Thank you! Glad to be of service.
You're a fraud George, this is so much more than snack hacking, this is genius!
You're too kind
We went to Rope and tackle fish and chips over the road. Nice, hideously expensive, great staff. However, they didn't have skin on chips! The car park you were in made me wince. We're a grim race.
I love the flavour of peated whisky. Any ideas for introducing that into a snack (other than in a glass on the side)?
Mate I think you’re a genius
I love it when the CZcams algorithm gods occasionally put a great, relatively small (at the moment) channel in front of me. Great vid, subscribed
good lad george !
Go bigger with some sweet onion chutney!
Know what I’m trying this bank holiday weekend! Thanks Sir George of Egg
Wang in some hot sauce, and you've got an absolute belter of a hangover cure there!
Was thinking the same thing and topped with some crispy onions for added texture
Fucks sake George I'm gonna be the size of a house recreating your videos...
I tried to sniff the fennel... ffs
Mine exploded after 20 seconds - how can I prevent this?
Oh no. It’s a bit of a luck thing really. If a pocket of air has found its way in when you were cracking the egg that might have caused it. Try again. Make sure it’s covered loosely in case of more popping. Proceed with caution. 8 seconds, check it, 8 more, check again etc. Depends of microwave wattage too. Good luck.
You made the Dutch proud
Single or double cream?
Double. I think single would work too but it would take longer and you’d get less butter.
We've done butter a handful of times over the last year, having had a go at it at a food festival. Never fails to deliver. Particularly good as you can do a tiny quantity (say enough for a few slices of toast or a sandwich) in minutes in a jamjar, without need to crack out Mr. Wood
This brought back an lovely memory of making butter at nursery. Bizarrely it also makes me think of a tartan purse (I was a Bay City Rollers fan) I had at the time with a silver bar you twisted to close it. I still remember the sound it made... Weird how food memories can send you off on a tangent, isn't it? 😊
I love how food sparks a memory chain. Nursery for me was growing cress and eating it between two slices of mother’s pride with cheap margarine. Nothing has matched that taste since.
The most underrated youtube channel of all time. Who wouldnt love ro have an afternoon cooking and drinking wine with this top bloke?!
Aw what a nice thing to say.
Totally agree - it’s a regular on in our house! My 12 year old lad is fascinated!
Did Camera Person still get credited? Madness. Lovely stuff as always though.
Haha, yes. I didn't have time to change the credits from the usual. He's there in spirit.
That crunch! Now to find some liquorice root powder
4 days, no comments? Let me change that... Yes George!
You know I think people in general can be a bit funny about liquorice. I love it but whenever I use it I get a fair amount of 'puke-face' emojis. Anyway, these work! Thanks for the comment!
Made these using Oat So Simple - four packets vs 2 eggs. Didn't have bicarb, so used baking powder. The feedback from the family was very good. My daughter, 11, said "Can we have these again, on my birthday". Love your work George!
I would love to see a snack hacker/sandwich dad crossover!
so wrong .... but i think it might be right !
That combination sounds incredible 😅
(Sticky) Hands down my absolute favourite videos!!
Yes George!
hello, looks delicious! how long in the microwave?
Double Carbs, now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! 😋
Always love seeing that you've uploaded!
Birdseye Potato Waffles meet bird's eye chillies! Love it.
... they are waffley versatile.
Please never have an actual upload schedule… your videos are a wonderful surprise every time
Welcome back! Much missed
Yes George!
Need to try this
This feels like the kind of thing i’d make… and then make another one… and then another
It's a nice one, and so easy
lovely
