Cooking your meat today ...

[Zoomie]

I see that lots of people cook their meats today, so that the oven is freed up tomorrow.

But, what do you do with the meat tonight and how do you go about warming it up again tomorrow ????????????

Glad you asked this - I was sat here wondering exactly the same thing!

in the fridge to keep it chilled and either microwave it to warm it or have it cold :D

I keep the cooled turkey in the fridge then on the day slice what I need, put the slices on a baking tray then pour heated stock over it cover with foil and heat throughly, delicious

Ours is all cooked.

We will either eat it cold or warm it up in gravy. Not sure which, depends on what hubby decides...he is cooking.

I have a turkey crown from marks and spencers so it wont take too long....not cooking anything til tomorrow. Have peeled the spuds though.

If I pre-cook, then I slice it, store it in the fridge and then warm it gently covered in gravy in a skillet. I think the microwave dries it out.

we cook all our meat tommorrow, beef and turkey crown fit in the oven at the same time. when cooked its wrapped in foil to 'rest' for 45 mins or so while potatoes and parsnips and bacon rolls are cooked.

not keen on the idea of having the meat cooked today and warmed up tommorrow!

We have to cook ours on the day cos a lot of them don't like gravy to warm it in. We put it in the oven anywhere between 7.30 -9.00 am depending on the size and aim to eat around 3pm. What i often do though if i need to put it in really early is prep it the night before and stored in a cold place, so i will smear it in a pack of butter and then put on the streaky bacon and build it a little tin foil tent, and then nearer the end of the cooking time take off the top of the tent so the top browns, and grill of the bacon separately whilst cooking the stuff and the turkey is resting back in its close up tent.

We cooked ours on the day, turkey in the cooker (with butter, cranberries and herb under the skin) and pork in the slow cooker.
