Same to you with knobs on.
What's unclear about "ready set cook" ?
Boneless lamb AND marinated, Ready to cook for 14.99 / kg ??
Find the same bargain anyone please ?
So no bone for the dog? No deal.
Removed before cooking of course.
.With sauce in, it's only a slight bargain!
is there one without sauce for $14.99?
Aldi lamb shanks are $12/kg bone in.
I suppose you could rinse off the sauce
Shanks!
Slow cooked this last night, delicious and tender.
The bag is not full of marinade just enough on the meat so your not paying for liquid.
Same item at woolworths is $20 to $21 a kg.
Oven, bbq, or slow cooker for the slow cooking?
Electric slow cooker.
These are basically offcuts put in a bag.
I bought a Ready Set Cook marinated lamb not long ago. Was a terrible cut of meat… and I use the word "meat" very generously. It was fatty grizzle.
Seriously, while cutting it into slices to have in wraps for the kids, the pieces jiggled/wobbled when on the fork.
It was absolutely disgusting.I wish I took a picture of it so I could post here. Clearly not the normal cut of meat, because if it was they would never sell one again. But if they are so dodgy to put fatty offcuts into a package and sell it as meat, I'll never buy one again. Even the thought of it now makes me sick :(.
Tip: If you are buying meat that has tinted packaging, they are tinting it for a reason (to disguise what you are actually buying). If you can't clearly see the cut in the packaging, don't buy it! Better yet, don't buy your meat in packaging at all!
Don't know where your shopping. I opened 3 packets of this yesterday and cooked them. All were quality meat with very little fat. All were delicious and tender. Marinade was nicely done and not excessive. Bag is clear not tinted, colour is the meat and the marinade.
Good on you champ, glad you enjoyed it. As I said in my first post, I'm sure this isn't normal… but that's not the point. The fact that it happened at all tells me it could happen again. I'm very happy your 3 packets were good. It doesn't change my experience though does it?
A bit touchy touchy in the ol lamb department me thinks.
You know you can take it back to ALDI for a refund right?
@nerd1: Yes, because I'm going to stuff around going all the way to Aldi specifically to take back a piece of fatty off-cut.
Waiting a week for the next shop would also be pointless, and I'd have to store said meat.No thanks. I'd rather warn others that this particular meat product 'can' be a very disappointing purchase.
The above posters (and the negs) clearly don't get the disappointment in preparing a meal over the course of an hour, and finally, once cooked, you cut into it and find it's not what you paid for or expected. It's not just the deceit in taking my money in the first place, it's the time and energy taken to cook the piece of crap only to be disgusted by the end product. God I wish I took a picture. It was disgusting.
But that's ok, as long as everyone else got the cut they paid for- I should just be quiet. God forbid I warn others.
Yep!!
pre-marinated meats are always suss ..
I love aldi, I love OzBargain and I love lamb… I'm sorry, but I don't see where the deal is here….
What's the usual price for butterflied lamb?
