TOAD IN THE HOLE at Iceland food review

[@dianeclarke3763]

Haven’t tried this one but I live on the £1 iceland meals, the chicken stew and dumplings and the chicken hotpot are spot on 🤤🤤 x

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Diane, you been away missed ya x

[@janettebarr6538]

Good for you we can’t all eat fine dining

[@Drew-Dastardly]

When Yorkshire pudding is confusing enough to foreigners, we raise the bar with "Toad in the hole!" (Bangers in Yorkshire pud). Home made is the best for sure. My own mum never made them, but when I stayed over at my bezzie mates his mum made the best ever, with onion gravy too. I get cravings for total childhood stodge now and then and this trash £1 stuff will do the job but I will always whip up some Bisto to go with it ;)

[@izadoru]

Wow! Your subs are increasing every day! Well done Gareth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 and another good vid. 💋

I get these from Iceland regularly, takes a while to get it crispy in the oven but very nice with potatoes, carrots and some nice thick gravy.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Sounds great!

[@peterpain6625]

Thought the same: Could use some good gravy ;)

[@stevenmintandrews4859]

58% pork!! damn that's good! Richmond sausages are at the legal minimum 42%!!

I'm in Cyprus at the moment, arrived on 19th August, for 21 nights, so I'm close to the end now, I've got two year old twin boys, a five year old boy and an eight year old girl and let me tell you it's been mayhem since we arrived and I've missed being at home soooo much. I've been aware of your videos for a long time and they really getting me through, any opportunity I can, I'll flick one on with a cup of tea and it brings me alot of comfort. Your probably the most genuine man on KZbin and deserve all the love and success you receive

[@danimayb]

I'm not surprised it's been mayhem with that many sprogs to contend with 😁

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks Dave very kind of you indeed. I appreciate it.

[@adztaylor2277]

Welcome to the 50 club bud. Like you said 'What more can you expect for a quid'. Definitely agree, can't beat a homemade one. All the best to you and family.

For a quid, as you said some potatoes veg and a gravy and it fills a gap another good review mate 👍

Looks great.👍👍

[@greg9871]

Oh noooo! i think we’ve all done this at one time in our lives lol 😂 i like those toad 🐸 in the hole frozen products.

[@robchissy]

i've been buying these from iceland for many years, i have 1 a week, buy they must have changed the company that makes them as they used to be a lot better, but with chips, peas and gravy, they go down a treat

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers paldidnt know they changed.

[@christianbuczko1481]

You should reduce the temp by 40C down to 160C, and 20mins, then check with an airfeyer, They act like a high power fan oven, so dont need the high temp average in a big volume oven as that is from a direct heat very close to the food. The small size means they heat up fast, and dont waste heat and time heating a large oven, so time needs to also be reduced.

[@Matt19matt19]

I cook most of the stuff in mine at 165c. Also I found that if I took the shelf out (the one with holes in for if you're cooking anything where fat comes out) and whatever I'm cooking sits lower down it cooks a lot better and doesn't burn

[@brianhiggins3090]

Drop of onion gravy with that would go down well Gareth. Next time you are in Iceland try the Heinz beans burger please.👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good shout bean meaning to try that one for a while

cheers Mark

[@adrianwood4661]

Hi been to asda today got 51 items for £49.83p 15 ready meals £14.50p and other stuff very cheap better than Iceland got 2 boxes rost beef 90p eche but she did not charge me for them I'll definitely be going again essentials range

[@johndavis7944]

Hi Gareth. Yes a couple of minutes less than predicted would've been better. Maybe drizzle a little oil around the edges halfway through cooking may help with the pastry sticking issue. But for a quid it's not bad. Nothing beats the tried tested home cooked through.. Does it 🤤 Cheers Gareth 👍😀

[@Yvonneb_]

Hi Gareth, Great video. Apparently I make a good toad in the hole. I sometimes forget to lower a shelf then it reaches top of oven, it gives me a right mess to clean xx

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes better homemade is better.

[@TheFilwud]

I know that to get a yorkshire or toad in't hole to rise you want plenty of heat from underneath. I also know that my 14 in 1 Ninja when baking only heats using the top element, yours is probably the same. I am not surprised the batter didn't rise much, it is just a Ninja thing! for a quid that actually looked okay, give it some gravy or maybe some baked beans to juice it up a bit, it would be a good cheap meal.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes heat from the top no good here.

[@jayoakes7874]

Not sure if it would help with this but a piece of tin foil on top the food will protect the top lets the bottom defrost a lil and then you can get they foil outta there and finish it up.

[@Dan_druft]

You can't expect much for a quid, wood shavings and cardboard. With some excuse for some sausages.

[@kimberleyanderson6255]

Hi Gareth. Could you review the Asda Essential sweet and sour chicken and rice please

[@garychamley3095]

Cheaper to batch cook meals creating your own ready meals. Fresh ingredients beats processed every time. Cooking is simple science. ☺

[@michelleybach]

That's great for £1. Toad int hole is supposed to be crispy. Nowt worse than a soggy toad int hole. Be lovely with some beans and cheese.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes thats a knew one on me cheese and beans yummy

[@Randy_Batswinger]

@@BaldFoodieGuy Cheesy beans. Yum! Cheesy anything really. ☺️

[@thornbird6768]

I prefer veg 👍🏻 mashed carrot & swede ( Aunt Bessie’s frozen cheap and tasty add pepper and butter ) tin of marrow fat peas 👍🏻👍🏻 bit of gravy , not too much . This looks good especially for a £1 👍🏻

[@apollonia6656]

My Mum's Tosd in the Hole was the best in the world. I used to like it with onion gravy and chips. Gosh, great memories and great food. Nobody cooks like your mother 🙂

[@mansfieldlad123]

I have had these before they never turn out like the picture the best thing to do is buy a giant frozen ready made Yorkshire Pudding ( 5 mins in the Air Fryer ) cook your own favourite sausages add a bit of gravy and some veg job sorted you still have toad in the hole just a more user friendly toad.

[@mansfieldlad123]

@@steevobarker581 Well you can get decent supermarket sausages for under £2 for 8 so it's still works out no dearer and them giant Yorkshires should be no more than 50p each

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Great idea!!

[@andrewrobinson2565]

That looks alright but now I'm feeling guilty about escaping England in 1989. Better homemade as you say. 🤔

[@garyp3795]

Wonder if you can air fry these rather than bake? I have the ninja dual zone air fryer which doesn't have a bake setting

[@ianryan5121]

Another great video Gareth, if your good lady makes a plain Yorkshire pudding try it with honey or golden syrup as a desert. 👍😋

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks Ian

[@emmaparker5302]

I have them cold with jam in .

[@carolineudaw541]

Been from West Yorkshire you can’t beat home made. Especially the Yorkshire Pud. 😊

[@muzzerhutton6830]

That's what you call well done mate gotta remember with the ninja to drop the cooking time

Yes I did by 10 mins heat from the top isn't it.

Firm favourite Toad In the Hole The yorkshire pudding makes it , I like it well baked and a bit crisp So Good on it's own or with extra's

Gona need a bucket of gravy to save that one Gaz😂

haha yes

i think Gareth would have mint sauce with his mint sauce,enjoy the videos keep up the good work

haha dont have it with chips but chips and gravy yes lol

[@brewsterkits]

The best one I have found is from the real Yorkshire pudding Co from Sainsbury's £2 49 you should try it so yum

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good tip

[@janw1746]

Gareth..if you do another one..take it out of the container whilst frozen..spray the container with oil and heat..much like when you make Yorkie puds..when it's hot replace the toad in the hole.. shouldn't stick.a .and maybe rise little more..😉👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

great idea Jan that thanks

[@madisonbarlow9256]

Best thing ever toad in the hole. Love it one of my favourites. To be honest doesn't look too bad. X

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Madison yes home made is best. This would be better cooked in the oven.

[@foodandstuff2724]

Gareth maybe with alot off people struggling with the cost off living and microwaves being cheaper to run than a oven and quicker maybe you could do more microwave meals, maybe single meals and family meals, just an idea

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

ive done a few microwave meals

[@arthurdanielles4784]

The problem in general re these types of food ie with batter in the mix.. 😶 is that batter does not do well with ingredients cooked at the same time...with or within the batter. We use puds on their own with the fillings et cooked separately. 👀

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers pal.

[@martingrimsted5017]

Stir fry is quite a cheap meal now the nights are closing in and healthy and not much washing up 👍

Hi Gareth im sure the hangover has gone 😊, I don't know if you've tried sainsburys toad in the hole it's in there fresh food section and bigger, that looks nice though I'd eat it 😋, 🍻🙏

Love TITH, but I have mine with mash, veg & gravy. 😁

[@johnboybyt9321]

You should try the beef lasagne thats in the same £1 section always wondered about the quality

[@irreverend_]

I'd like to see his opinion on them too. I've had the Iceland ones, and I say they're quite a bit better than the equivalent Tesco or Asda ones.

[@johnboybyt9321]

[@jamesbradshaw4675]

Can’t go wrong for a £1 Gareth 👍

[@andrewcoates6641]

That is really crying out for some gravy, even if it’s just a stock cube and boiling water. Personally I would be reaching for a jar of Bovril to make mine.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

yes looks real good doesn't it

[@Cayres9]

I used to eat that Toad in the Hole regular and for £1 it goes great with gravy chips and peas ,Im thinking they have changed the recipe to cut costs as years back around 2018 when i last had it , it was better

[@Matt19matt19]

They've brought the chicken tikka lasagne back at Iceland. I used to love it and will get it now it's back. Worth a review.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

nice one Matt

[@irreverend_]

I've never found a frozen toad in the hole which wasn't all soggy inside when cooked to instructions and burnt if you don't

[@wilderbeestmcc6539]

Gareth you did the Aldi version 11 months ago @£1.99….. It did have four sausages and looked more luxury and they all lined up in the batter (hole)😃

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

did i yes cheers ive done a few im sure.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

might have been the aut bessie with 3 sausages i did.

[@absolutelyamanda2942]

I've done this one from Iceland in many different ways and it always ends up stuck to the bottom of the tray and the sausages fall away from the cooked batter

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Oh I'm not the only one then

[@arthurvasey]

Ever tried making your own toad in the hole - wrap some yummy bacon round the sausages - pigs in blankets toad in the hole - you might mention it to Mrs Bald Foodie Guy!

[@Matt19matt19]

I just put gravy into the tray and it eat from that lol.

[@danimayb]

Take it out the foil trey, Cover the floor of an oven tray with oil and place it on that.. Bob's your uncle :) - Also, Spread some milk over the top of the batter.. This will help keep the batter soft while still giving you a crispy top.

[@samhenwood5746]
