    Also might be an idea to get yourself an oven thermometer, most ovens will not be up to temperature at all or even reach the temp you've set it to.

    My ovens are only 6 months old and the oven states its up to temperature but according to the thermometer it still has another 50 degrees to go before it reaches it.
    I've got an oven thermometer, and the oven's completely out of whack in relation to the gas mark numbers on the knob.

    But after ten years I've learned its peculiar ways

      I did find a type that went crispy once, the downside is Albert Heijn or any other supermarket for that matter have no consistency whatsoever in what they stock.

      I use a mix of duck fat and whatever else is left over from the last roast, par boil the spuds, then rough them up to break up the outside, and place them in the pre-heated fat.
      I've got Maris Piper from Suffolk at the moment, but they don't manage to crisp up as much as ones from Norfolk or Lincolnshire. Cambridgeshire ones are usually OK too.

      The poorest showing comes from Scottish ones, which for some unexplained reason keep popping up in my local Sainsbury's. In fact, last year when I was working in Beeston (Notts.) I was buying Lincolnshire spuds from Sainsbury's there, while my local Sainsbury's, further south, had been selling nothing but ones from Angus for months

        Well, damn.
        "Colitas plant" gives somewhat more vegetative results.

        Not sure which the song was referring to, though.

          Should I be worried?
