My granny used to add breadcrumbs to the cheese topping - really nice and crispy.

[@mollyhappymum4816]

This definitely needs to be a tv channel! Just discovered you both - real life, real people, real food and fun. I love the taste test music too😄😄😂. Just discovered these wonderful cooks so binge watching them. Definitely worth subscribing for fun and food. 🇬🇧☘️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳

[@butlersempire]

Wow, thank you Molly

[@kathtaylor5544]

Hi Martin and Sharon. I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am to you both for all your cooking tips. I am a 75yr old, always cooked old fashion way in the oven but we are now living in Australia and at 35 deg at the moment I’m loving my air fryer. That is all thanks to you Sharon and Martin. Keep those recipes coming. P.S. just cooked cauliflower cheese in Air fryer. Xx

[@butlersempire]

Thanks so much Kath.

Being in the Market Garden Industry all veg that are layered like lettuce, cabbage, leek should be thoroughly washed, as your not only dealing with soil and pollutants - you have other nasty stuff like fertilizer and insects basically trapped in the growth cycle between the layers as it forms. Another thing to watch for is pre-washed bag of basil, lettuce mix etc as they really only get washed through a continuous trough like water system and recycled also- which is not clean and harbours a lot of bacteria and really not any different than a sheep dipping station so clean all vegetables even if its pre-washed if you want to stay healthy. Cooking Tip: if your measuring temps and you fall short 3-5 Degrees... its fine, because its still cooking when resting.

[@zeez3139]

Invaluable information Thanx

[@maggiedoor6093]

Good to know, I've never washed a salad mix. Maybe that's why salad moves through me so quickly!!!

[@gwaponobby]

Safer to not eat any of those vegetables.

[@robertreid7221]

Sharons words of wisdom ! "thats hot Sharon"😢 "Well don't touch it then" 😂😂😂 ✌❤ Bob

[@VikPaints]

Great recipe, I love the fact you say how much ingredients cost and where you got them from, really very helpful that 👍 Loving your channel, heaps better than a regular TV cooking show, thanks for your hard work creating these videos.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mamnan8953]

Appreciate these videos of yours. Must try this thank you both

[@angelamuircroft5181]

This looks so tasty; because of your channel, I bought my air fryer, the best purchase I have made in decades. Love your recipes, good wholesome food. 💞💞💞

[@butlersempire]

Glad you like them!

[@mikechunter1099]

Move over Nigella, Sharon is the new Domestic Goddess!! Seriously though, its such a shame so many youngsters are unable to cook things like this following the demise of Domestic Science lessons. This is a public service channel so thank you Sharon and Martin for that! Great entertainment and informative.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video Mike.

[@gwaponobby]

Youngsters are just lazy. It's not hard to teach yourself how to cook. It might not be to other peoples' taste but you will soon learn how to cook stuff that YOU like. I only started to learn when I left my Parents' home and Mum was not there to cook for me anymore. You soon learn when you're hungry.

[@FranBowen-hc7cq]

I add Panko breadcrumbs on top or mixed in with the cheese. Fab n crunchy .

[@Mummalez]

You guys are gorgeous. Love your enthusiasm for what you’re doing. Love the recipe as well. Going to give it a go tonight. I’ve never made white/cheese sauce like this but I’m trying that too. So much to learn.

[@joyandrew3265]

Look forward to watching you both don't stop saying folks it's better than people don't change what you do your brilliant as you are😊

[@lyndamac8257]

Wee tip for saving money (save the gas in your gas bottle) and also time is boil water in kettle to cook the pasta. (sorry I used to be a chef and just canny help trying to make things easier and I'm a bossy wee Scot's woman xxx) I love your videos with the no nonsense cooking and I got myself a wee air fryer and it is great for baking scones, pies and sausage rolls and much more.

[@AlanCooney]

Nice tips! Och aye the knew!!

[@Willowsmum]

Love a bit of mushroom in mine too. But I do prefer macaroni, the penne is a bit big for me! I keep expecting Martin to hug himself and sink to the floor when he gets the food he loves!!

[@jasminepautsch5286]

I have had my camping stove 4 weeks I use every day I am on my 3rd canister, but like you said depending on how much you use it , keep the videos coming love to you both x

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for sharing

[@manowske73]

You can’t go wrong with Mac n cheese. You can add almost anything and it will still be good. Another great video. Keep up the good work you two.

[@jeanbrookes6300]

Hi you folks made this today and it was delish, thanks for the recipe, hope you are both well, by for now “folks” 😂😂😂

[@butlersempire]

Our pleasure Jean.

[@pruney1977]

If you keep your lid on the pasta the whole time it is cooking you can have the flame lower and use less gas

[@marcuswhitmore6622]

This looks good. Another great video. 😊

[@emilythefox3710]

I make this with chicken strips that have been coated in a bit of oil and loads of paprika before sauteing . I like the bacon with a rich tomato Bechamel sauce.

[@jhutchings7627]

Your programmes make me smile and the tips are good. Thank you so much. Have just recently bought my Corsori 4.7L because of you and am thrilled with it.

[@karensterling5597]

Very nice and thanks for showing I love this dish , Saturday afternoon lunch y with the garlic bread yummy

[@PaulAnderson-ky8ne]

Great video. One of my favourites is Tuna pasta bake. Give that a try, very similar just with tinned tuna, mushrooms, peppers and a few finely chopped chilli.

[@slw147]

What a great bit of cooking here. As veggies we replaced the bacon with quorn pieces and this one really is a blinder. No high faluting pompus rubbish, good honest good value food from Lidl it is nice to see others who appreciate the great quality at a great price. Sounds like it will be even better when we get our air fryer delivered. We wish the cooking shows on the TV could take a leaf out of your book doing everything in leymans terms with plain common sense. Cheers and love to you both from Trev the Pianoman & his missus Jane.

[@butlersempire]

Cheers Trev and Jane

[@14723ian]

Can you do onion bhajis in the air fryer? Would love to see that.

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

Almost every time I watch your videos I have to add something on my shopping list. Ahh……. English Mustard powder

[@The3broslife]

Another great video as always. My mouth is watering. I will definitely be cooking that. Thank You both for making all of your delicious meals. Take care and stay safe.🥰🦋👨‍🍳🥘😋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yummy 😋

[@TC-tn9tb]

Really good meal idea, Merry Christmas.

[@RodJames-pj8md]

Hi Folks good recipe, in regard to the cooking time on a gas bottle tell them “ how long is a piece of string” Also I think you Martin are becoming superfluous to the cooking. I’m sure Sharon could carry the cookingc all by herself.

[@butlersempire]

My job is commentary.

[@Patricia-kk8tr]

I was admiring the quick wit and coherent steps in your commentary Martin. Do you make a script or just play it by ear?

[@butlersempire]

@@Patricia-kk8tr Play it by ear as it happens.

[@georginadove4748]

Martin I was looking at some of your older videos and watched the ones where you were not eating carbs. I’ve got to say your explanations about what certain foods do to your body were really great , thank you. I’ve followed similar eating plans (aka diets, lol) but slowly slipped off them…. Still, can always start again in the new year!

[@xavier6279]

I'm going to make this with some left over gammon thanks for the video I love watching them ❤️ xx

Have you ever thought to let Sharon to do the cooking sections as she is such a good cook and you lead on the other programmes as you are more as ease with talking to the camera. You have given great tips on the air fryer. Thank you

[@butlersempire]

sharon doesn't want to do any commentary, that's my job.

Incredible! Unbelievable!! Excuse me one moment…..I’m Going In!!!!!!!!

[@gailjaques5710]

Boil kettle..pour boiling water over pasta..stir (very important) Place lid on ..leave for 15 mins and it will be cooked..saves fuel

Love my camping stove but the gas canisters don’t seem to last very long so not sure if it is a great saving? Not sure about bacon in my macaroni cheese as I love it unalduterated.

[@dan1strike]

Golly gosh

[@LeeJohn70]

Looked very nice, came out a lovely colour 👍🏻😁 I am not usually into white sauce dishes. I prefer gravy style dishes, but they looked nice. I don't mind Fish pies etc, but if I have a white fish dish I usually leave it a few weeks until the next one. Look forward to your next stream on Sunday Have a great weekend 👍🏻👍🏻😁🎁🎄

What a great winter warmer. Have you two considered compiling a cookery book with all your lovely recipes. I've purchased air fryer cooking books but they are so dissapointing- food you would never cook. Your recipes are hearty and a staple for weekdays .

Marksman gas canisters last approximately 2 hours on full longer if you cook on medium or low, plus I found marksman to be the best canisters.

Hello, did you know when cooking pasta if you add pasta to boiling water, place the lid on the pan, bring water back to a boil then turn the gas off and leave the pasta in the pan in the hot water for 9mins the pasta cooks. Saves your fuel! Please can you explain how using the small camping stove saves energy as opposed to using the hob burner… doesn’t a pan of water take the same amount of fuel to boil the water whether it’s on the hob or on a camping stove… I don’t understand how the camping stove boils the same volume of water quicker. Thanks

[@kevinmatthews2620]

the reason the other ones proably last longer is the gas was proably cleaned better eg more water removed,before being filled into the cannisters, if you clean 10% less you have 10% more canisters to fill and hence 10% more profit :) :), your poor dog looking for scraps makes me smile ,my dog would proably be the same :) :) :)

[@daytona1212]

Tip: If you have a watercooker. Cook the water in there, and put in the pan before you put it on the little stove. Saves you a lot of butane gas.

[@rosie4runner965]

Are you talking about the electric kettle? That's a great idea.

Hi Sharon and Martin, could you tell me how you dispose of the gas containers when they're finished please? That Mac and cheese looked so delicious I can't wait to try it. Have ordered a stove and gas off Amazon as you say they're very economical and just waiting on the delivery now. Looking forward to your reply and seeing you on Sunday, take care, Ena 👍🏻😃

[@butlersempire]

Just the same way anyone does with a pressurised empty deodorant container.

[@enarabone2555]

@@butlersempire thanks for your reply however I do not use pressurised deodorant as they affect my breathing ( I have COPD), I use the push stick ones. I'm unable to be around anything like deodorant or fresh air sprays and suchlike as it makes it hard for me to breathe and I need to use my inhalers then. I also take my inhalers everywhere with me because you just never know when you'll need them. That was why I asked about the gas containers, not because I'm thick or stupid but because I genuinely didn't know as like I said I don't have anything like that around me. Looking forward to seeing you both on Sunday, take care and God bless you both, Ena 👍🏻👍🏻😃
