Baking in flower pots

Aidy · « **on:** December 16, 2008, 12:25 »

Planning on doing some breads in flowerpots, I have some pot ones from the garden centre. Do I need to fire them first before using them? I seem to recall that you need to do something with them before baking?

That's a new one on me. Imagine you must have to do something or they'd just crack. I'll have a furtle around.

Well came across the seasoning bit for pots Val thanks, and here it is, the recipe will do 4 of these, this is chorizo and pine nuts, and very very scrummy...

Perhaps a daft question, but why?

Because I run the recipe section on this site and I like Members Recipes and always attribute them to whoever submitted them. The more recipes, the better! Content, content, content. It's what keeps us the No 1 Allotment Site.

Perhaps what they meant was 'why bake in a flower pot'?

Maybe! I'm thinking of giving it a go as well now tho

Also I think it's supposed to give a better crust and it's an interesting way to get kids into participating in baking.

It's lovely to use the really tiny pots to do individual rolls as well, kids adore them (me too)

Its the Heston factor, when I brought them out last night everyone thought it was great, and tasted great, like you say poolfield2 its fun. I will pop the recipe on Val, but the dough was made in a breadmaker.

Heston Blumenthal as of Snail Porridge and Bacon and Egg Ice Cream?
