Cooking mince with an oven?

[Anonymous No.11341987]

Poorfag here. I got sick of seeing something so brilliantly cheap in Iceland that I apparently was unequipped to cook. Long story short, I've only got an oven and a deep baking tray. How the fuck am I going to cook this? Stick it on 200C and hope for the best?

[Anonymous No.11341995]

Got flour?
Make a dough and add any veggies you might have an make a mince pie

[Anonymous No.11342000]

>>11341995
Nope, don't have any flour. I just want to cook the meat. I'll mix it with some rice or pasta or something.

[Anonymous No.11342058]

>>11342000
Go buy some flour. Baking is the easiest way for a poorfag to save money.

[Anonymous No.11342064]

>>11342058
Don't you need more than just flour to bake?

[Anonymous No.11342092]

>>11342064
I'm presuming you have salt, sugar and water. Add oil and yeast and you can bake all kinds of breads, rolls etc. Also pies like the first guy suggested.
You don't need to eat baked mince with rice just because you are poor. That sounds absolutely miserable.

Nope. Don't even have cooking oil.

You paid £3 for 800g of frozen when fresh 20% beef mince is £1.50 in tescos and morrisons... so for the same price you could have gotten 200g mire and gotten it fresh.

Youre an idiot.

>20% beef
Wait, what? Are they putting some other meats in there?

[Anonymous No.11342117]

Season it, form it into patties with a depressed middle (it will contract cooking) and pop it on the baking sheet at around 175C until it's cooked through. The fat should prevent it from sticking, but if you have parchment paper or foil you could line the baking sheet first.

Why are you trying to just bake plain mince? Idiots like you give normal poor people a bad name. Just because you are poor does not mean you have to be stupid, though they often go hand in hand.
Make a fucking meatloaf or meatballs or a mince pie or anything that actually goes in the oven, rather than trying to roast a hamburger
Fucking Icelanders are all retarded, I swear to god I used to love the idea of Iceland and their strange culture there until I figured out that everyone born in Iceland has some kind of developmental disorder

If youre on a budget tesco also does cheap as fuck cheese under the brand creamfields.

300g of mild or mature cheddar or red leicester is £1.33. They also have brie for 85p and mozzarella for 45p

https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/search?query=creamfields&icid=tescohp_sws-1_m-ft_in-creamfields_ab-226-b_out-creamfields
Its exactly the same as their tesco cheese just much lower cost.

They also sell whole chickens 2kg for £3 and they sell pork belly and pork chops for like £3.50 a kilo


I sound like a tesco shill, but they do have lots of decently priced meat that arnt bad quality at all.. i got a 1.9kg chicken and it tasted exactly the same as a morrisons 1.6kg chicken that costs the same price.

Besides, have you met any actual Icelanders? It didn't seem strange to me that OP would be one and I stand by what I said about them.
Though, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by a Bong trying to bake plain mince, either.

Frankly I didn't even look at the OP pic, but it's not like they don't sell products in English, in Iceland. Same as I can go buy a packet of candy all in Korean or a bag of frozen whole fish in Cyrillic at the local Kroger, and not have any idea what is inside other than guessing from the pictures on the packet.

Googling simple shit like that normally gives you recipes that need like 10 fucking ingredients. Hell, I had to go to fucking StackExchange just to get a minimal recipe for rice pudding.

Nooo how dare they? Cooking with TEN whole ingredients? How unreasonably complicated! What, are we all supposed to cook like a Michelin chef now?
People like you should be banned from this board for coming here with these peasant problems. There is no discussion you could contribute on the topic of "food and cooking." Do you think we enjoy sitting around waiting to answer questions from can't-cook faggots like you? Do you realize the sheer volume of threads like this that pass by in a day or a week while contributing nothing to board culture?
I'd unironically rather have a ton of fast food threads. Just go and bake your mince.

Because no one has an answer for how to just cook a whole bag of plain fucking mince with just an oven, you absolute brainlet. No one does that. There is no generally accepted recipe for baking plain mince. It is not a dish. You might as well ask how to boil pancakes and then cry when no one has an answer.

Have you read op? He doesn't have salt or oil or anything and won't buy it, he for some reason decided to buy mince and has an over thats it.

Frozen food, fast food, and restaurants have done away with the need to cook for yourself

The only reason to cook for yourself is that it's cheaper, tastes better, and is healthier. If you don't care about those things then it's easy to never learn to cook.

whack your oven up to max (250 or whatever)

Leave the pan in the oven as it heats. This will give you a fucking hot pan to chuck your mince in.

When the oven is fully heated, take the pan out. Chuck the mince in as quick as you can, and stir it around a bit (you should get a sizzle)

Whack it in the oven, turn the oven down to 200 and cook for ten minutes. Take it out , stir it around.

In for another five, take it out, stir it around.

In for another five, take it out, stir it around.

your mince should now be cooked through. If not, keep doing the five minute cook and stirs until it is.

spoon the meat onto a plate (use a slotted spoon if you have one) leaving as much of the fat in the bottom of the pan as you can.

Either discard the fat, or put it in a mug and you can use it for frying/roasting stuff later.

If you've got any gravy granules knocking about, make some up (you can add maybe a spoonful of the beef fat to the instant gravy for extra flavour), add the beef back to the pan, pour the gravy over and cook for a final couple of minutes in the over.

If you've got no gravy, no need for the final 2 mins in the over. just cover the stuff in red/brown sauce.

Temperate? Time? Way of knowing when it's cooked?

That's fair. At least it won't kill me. How long should I cook it for? How do I know what it's cooked?

>busy, I don't want to have to commit to learning anything new

>>11342648
Seems legit.

>>11342677
Nah, I visit there like once a month, buy like 15kg of frozen cheap (and therefore largely unprocessed) meat and don't buy any more meat until that shit is done.

Why would you buy a Pot Noodle in Iceland anyway? You could probably get them at about the same price from the closest shop to your house, meaning that the space in your bag would be better spent on the stuff in there that you can't cheaply get elsewhere.

Yes. Meatloaf is hamburger or mince meat as the brits say molded into a bread loaf shape with breadcrumbs/rice/oats and seasoning and an egg and then baked at oh idk 350°f for an hour to hour and half? Just Google meat loaf bake time. Typically is served with a ketchup base glaze added towards the end or with brown gravy.
Tl;dr its one massive oblong meatball and is very easy to prep.
