I got home from work last Tuesday. I had a long day, and all I could think about at lunch was the dinner I made the night before - chicken tikka with some Jarred tikka sauce from Aldi - some of you might be thinking “WTAF there’re much nicer sauces out there“ - well not in Aldi.
Anyway, picture this on a Monday night - ive indulged on takeaways all weekend I’m just so desperate for some home cooked goodness. I’ve diced and sizzled some chicken and I add the sauce. I’m waiting for it to simmer - anyone that’s simmered without a pot lid you know where I’m going with this - I was left with a Thick, gloopy sauce that had half evaporated Itself away, like it had given up. My tikka was boiling, but my chicken was flavourless. The sauce had kept itself separate from my cooked poultry as if it were Brad Pitt attending his divorce hearing with Angelina Jolie. I knew I’d messed up.
So I searched for the cheapest pot lid I could find - I forget the diameter I searched for but I found this lid. Would it fit? I didn’t know but live for the thrill and so I had to purchase it, an absolute gamble if I’d ever placed one.
Fortunately, I had prime so I only had to wait a day. I was ready. 7pm that Tuesday night a knock at the door. I’d waited all day that Tuesday for the delivery - a confirmation email or SMS, I wasn’t aware prime could deliver in the evening, but this was great as it meant I didn’t have to go to the post office to pick it up - win win. I rush to the door to greet the delivery man handing me a flat packed parcel - this was it.
So there I go, chicken diced, half a jar of tikka sauce from the night before. Gas is up, chicken sorted, tikka sauce in - The lid. Goes. On.
I leave for 10 minutes, just enough - the sauce was all there, Bubbling and infusing itself with the diced breast. But was that enough? I had to taste it. Ladies and Gentleman, this lid had improved my cooking tenfold. And what’s better is it fits across my other pots too. A perfect end to a long day and bitter night before. I felt like my weekend had started all over again.
You’re probably asking yourself, why write so much detail for a pot lid? A wise man once told me, it’s not the product that sells, it’s the experience the customer receives, it’s the story behind why it’s a success. I bought this product. This is my experience. This is my story.
I highly recommend, for any Gordon Ramsey enthusiast.
