Jackmaffs:

I'm extremely confused. Are they assuming you cook chilli con carne thirty times a month or something?

View attachment 2508388 q

So if you made all these recipes in a month, you’d save £248 in energy. So just shy of £3,000. Phenomenonal savings given the price cap is now £1,800 for both gas & electricity. Sloppy analysis for sloppy recipes

 

[Lazarus]

I wonder if Jack remained as principled as she used to be when accepting this job from Curry’s.
I’d love to know how much Mr Curry pays his lowest paid staff, and what he knows about the personal lives of the cleaners in his East Kilbride store.

 

[Cucumberthunder]

Would that £78 a month etc be something for the ASA?

 

[Fruitjack]

I have an air fryer. I like chocolate. I like pears. I'm vegan. I thought I might give her cake a go for the slopalong. But my air fryer doesn't have a steamer function. Of course it bleeping doesn't. Who the duck STEAMS a cake? There are so many people doing this stuff miles better all over the internet, even people with full time day jobs knock up a quick reel of how to make a cake.

I'm absolutely mortified for her.

 

[Clarends]

Bung it in a curry's
Other electric stores are available. I'm old enough to remember pumbelows.

 

[Saltfish84]

Oh ffs. How is this nasty, thieving bleep STILL getting work??

I’d boycott Curry’s if I shopped there. But I don’t

 

[Fruitjack]

I just read the sausage risotto recipe. Loads of classics there. Frozen sausages, 'plain white rice', using the fat from the cheap frozen sausages to cook the onions. I'm heaving.

 

[Fleasyweezy]

Oh, the gift of an unexpected chaos ready for the weekend; just like the good old days aka Twitter Tuesdays before she actually did stfu on social media. Adrian must be pretty good at his job to salvage what he has from the ashes of her hitting the self-destruct button once too often on the hell site but thank you for all you do. It keeps the ninnies freshly fed & watered

 

[Katkat]

In a ‘career’ of duck ups and lies, I really thought that she might actually try and do something to rehabilitate her image after this year. But no, an ad so disingenuous that it doesn’t work and is a pack of lies. On brand for her of course!
I don’t know why I thought she might try harder, I must be as stupid as her.

 

[MavisBeacon]

Good grief.
My thoughts, as I'm sure you've all been waiting for them....
Dogshit lazy calorie- and flavour-deficient recipes that I very much doubt have been "triple tested".
Why does she have recipes tailored to six different niche and fairly expensive appliances? So accessible, wow. It makes a compete mockery of her previous stance on Instant pots/pressure cookers and air fryers.
Her crow's feet are baaaaaad for someone in their mid 30s.
Shame on everyone involved in this ridiculous lazy campaign that helps nobody and nothing except Jack's bank account.

 

[AlwightDallin]

If all sugars are interchangeable, and all fats/oils are too.. why aren’t cooking appliances?

If all tins are tins… why aren’t all air fryers air fryers?

If air fryers and pressure cookers are such money saving miracles why doesn’t she include them in any of her seven books including the one specifically written for kitchen thriftiness?

Why did she say she doesn’t use specialist equipment and doesn’t cater for said appliances in her books as she doesn’t have them but has also previously said she slow cooks tea (the drink tea, not the northern meal!)

If money saving was the goal, why would a £250 appliance and £15 of ingredients be the best way to obtain a cake you can buy even in M&S for £3?

Why are Currys promoting half or even 1/3 portions - as the recipes aren’t costed, I can only assume it’s because you can’t make a meal for 6 in an air fryer, it won’t physically fit if you used the actual recommended serving size.

I wonder how many times she’s ‘developed’ a recipe only for it to be a rehash of a previous slop, a badly hacked version of a BBC food recipe, or both?!

Also, did she air fry that wig before she glued it to her grifting bonce?!

 

[Emmapism]

I own a airfryer. It's a small one and it cost me £50. It doesn't have any functions beyond 'cook'. Steam? Get in the bleeping bin.

Anyone who is actually trying to save money isn't gonna spaff it all on an expensive airfryer that has a steam function.

But babe, it's a recipe to cure arthritis.

 

[Livia Fantasy]

I'll make, airfry, and eat my own hat if guest has ever made and eaten any of those recipes. It's all just guess(t)work.

Bung it in a curry's

More Bread and Bejams mamapappa?

 

[SleevelessSlopSlinger]

Have any socks popped up on the X site? Would be interesting to see if she is thick enough to make it that obvious.

[Cookiecookie]

She's made a mistake and it should say pressure cook.

Which makes you wonder if she even attempted to use a pressure cooker. I bet she's just changed a couple of words from one of her old slops, which is why is still says 'slow cook'

 

[Mrs Peel]

Okay, let's have a look at exactly how money saving these recipes are, and it has nothing to do with actual ingredients.

Given the amount of liquid she includes in that recipe (autocomplete suggested "for disaster" when I typed recipe and who am I to argue?), yes, she's just updated one of her old slops.

But at £78/month savings Mrs P, by next Xmas all that kit will have paid for itself. The more you use it, the more you'll save. Sod it, let's make sodding dinner for the whole sodding street!
The "could" in those projected savings is doing a lot of work. Equivalent to bench pressing our late monarch, in heavy lifting parlance.

 

[RandomFishOils]

Would that £78 a month etc be something for the ASA?

No, I’m afraid not. As it was in a press release targeted at journalists, rather than consumers, it’s not covered by the ASA or CAP. They haven’t even put it on the press releases area of their website, but even then it wouldn’t be covered if it’s clearly aimed at the press. The recipes on the Currys website - which are targeted directly at consumers - don’t include the same nonsensical claims about saving £3k a year. Sorry (Currys’ comms team breathing a sigh of relief).
