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!! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

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

haha, l normally try to fry them and worry they wont cook in the middle so kinda squish them if that makes sense. l ended up lightly browning them then put them in the oven, DP, DS and l all hoovered them, YUM! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

| 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. |

that maggi pkt is YUMMO!
I also brown in pan then bake. Jake will pick at them occassionally too...always exciting when the boy eats something other than pot, pumpkin and beef tin  -------------
