this may sound like a dumb question but does anyone have a secret for cooking meatballs? When l make my own l normally end up with weird shaped blobs that l often burn in the hope that the middle is cooked!!
l bought some little (smaller than a ping pong ball) ones from the supermarket today as they were on a good special, they are such a perfect shape it seems a shame to ruin them by squishing them like l often do!!

I normally brown them off in the pan and then finish them in the oven.

I had many meatball failures, before I found out about finishing them off in the oven! Yay for Floyd loving them!

I bake them on the oven tray with baking paper under them on about 150*
put them in for 15min, flip them over and give them another 10min and theyre done.
