Remember when the only people who cared about the ecosystem were tree huggers along with hippies? Those days are over, and it looks like we all recognize our role in stopping and perhaps reversing the damage being done to our planet. The experts are agreed that we are not able to change things for the better without everyone’s active involvement. Each and every family must start generating changes that are environmentally friendly and they must do this soon. Read on for some ways to go green and save energy, generally in the kitchen.
Refrigerators and freezers use a lot of electricity, particularly when they are not working as economically as they should. If you can get a new one, they use about 60% less than the old ones that are more than ten years old. Keeping the temperature of the fridge at 37F, in conjunction with 0F for the freezer, will certainly save on electricity, while keeping food at the correct temperature. Checking that the condenser is actually clean, which means that the motor needs to work less frequently, will also save electricity.
From the above it ought to be apparent that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are many little opportunities for saving energy and money. It is reasonably uncomplicated to live green, all things considered. It’s about being functional, most of the time.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to traditional cornish pasties recipe. To make traditional cornish pasties you only need 14 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to cook Traditional Cornish Pasties:
- Take for the pastry

- Use beef suet
- You need x lard
- You need x cold water
- Take x table salt and black pepper
- Get for the filling
- Use x skirt of beef
- Take x maris piper potatoes
- You need x swede
- Get x white onion
- Provide x chopped parsley and thyme
- Get salt and pepper
- You need x beaten egg for glaze
Steps to make Traditional Cornish Pasties:
- Combine the lard, suet and water into the strong flour, along with the salt and pepper
- Work with your hands for a few minutes, turn out onto a work surface when it looks shaggy, and continue to knead (like bread dough for 5 minutes) until you have a firm springy dough, wrap in cling film and refrigerate while you prepare the filling, if the dough will not form keep working with damp hands it will get there.
- Dice all of the vegetables to around 1cm, chop the herbs and mix in a bowl.
- Now dice the skirt, it has a very obvious grain, first cut into large batons with the grain about 1 1/2 inch thickness. Turn 90 degrees and slice 1/2 cm approx against the grain
- Season well and thoroughly mix
- Cut chilled dough into 4, keep the dough covered with cling film while not in use, form 1 piece into a ball and then flatten with your hand to form a round disc.
- Roll the pastry to the size of a large dinner plate, 10 - 12 inches, you do not need flour for this. Arrange 1/4 of the filling just below the centre.
- Place a small slice of butter on top of the filling (opt) I have a fetish for butter and think its makes everything better, it will create a little extra steam inside while baking. Lift the far side over the filling and form a semi circle
- Firmly press the edges together (no water or egg required) and then crimp, have fun with this and don't obsess about perfection. Use 1 finger on 1 hand to hold the dough down and 1 finger of the other hand to fold and press the pastry over. Tuck the edges under
- Firmly press the pasty into shape, pierce a small hole to allow steam to vent and arrange all four on baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Brush well with beaten egg, sprinkle with sea salt or seeds before baking
- Bake at 170c for 1 hour 15 mins, you can't eat them until they've cooled down, they are best eaten warm or room temp with loads of ketchup, the last image is of me looking very pleased with my pasties.
