Best method for perfect croissants

[Shaun]

Following on from the success of the 3page thread on how to toast bread
What do people use to heat up their croissants in the morning.? (assuming your far away from the village bakery)
We found the halogen oven to be the perfect solution in summer as regards the actual process, but its way too big to carry in the winter months when interior space is more important.

There is no such thing as a perfect croissant.

The perfect croissant does exist - but it doesn't involve heating it yourself.
It has to come straight from the bakers warm & be eaten with English strawberry jam. Surely the whole point of the Cali is to be able to get close enough to the bakers.

Lidl - but you have to arrive just as they are taking them out of the oven....

We just go to the boulanger and order "deux croissants" , it does not get any easyer than that.

 

[andyinluton]

as my french is limited I frequently ask for "deux croissants sil vous plait and one of those cakes"

I love croissants.

I find them totally addictive.

My waistline curses them

Yep, heating up a croissant.... Heresy.... It's a no no...

Love them too.. Can't ever wait to get to France for the perfect croissant each time... mind you I'd have to walk the coastline of the UK to burn one off... But hey! Let's look at the positives...

What have monkeys and trees got to do with croissants?

If my post asking how to heat croissants is still around then i cant find it, I'll apologise for my rant now.
One question to all those whom recommended the ridge monkey (which arrived promptly from amazon two days after askingmy question)
Where do you all buy your croissants from ???
Mine tend to be at least 60 mm high .
Hence they wont fit in the B****y thing ! Not with the lid closed anyway.
Are you using it open just like a frying pan?
Or do you have flat croissants in your area?
There i feel much better now

Flatten the croissants
Mostly use for cheese/tuna etc baguettes / rye bread toasties.

I should have added that flat croissants dont appeal to me in the least, but thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

[GrannyJen]

flat croissants don't work for me....

and no croissants work for a flat stomach

Hi, lovely rant thread this

There is a easy solution for this. The Swedes comes for the rescue again. There is a excellent travel stove solution called omnia. This makes room for buns, croissants and general oven workhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YLJQ5U/?tag=unique09f-21

Welcome on your 1st post ,
There are treads on coockers and ovens where there's mention of those

Could use the Cadac, but I vote for either;

a) delivery to my bedside by one of the small non-rent-payers that sleeps upstairs, or
b) an early morning wander down to the village bakery for a Grand Creme, croissant & Eau de Vie...
