English Breakfast

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

1. 1Heat the flat grill plate over a low heat, on top of 2 rings/flames if it fits, and brush sparingly with light olive oil.
2. 2Cook the sausages first. Add the sausages to the hot grill plate/the coolest part if there is one and allow to cook slowly for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden.
3. 3After the first 10 minutes, increase the heat to medium before beginning to cook the other ingredients.
4. 4If you are struggling for space, completely cook the sausages and keep hot on a plate in the oven.
5. 5Snip a few small cuts into the fatty edge of the bacon. Put the bacon straight on to the grill plate and fry for 2-4 minutes each side or until your preferred crispiness is reached.
6. 6Like the sausages, the cooked bacon can be kept hot on a plate in the oven.
7. 7For the mushrooms, brush away any dirt using a pastry brush and trim the stalk level with the mushroom top. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil.
8. 8Place the stalk-side up on the grill plate and cook for 1-2 minutes before turning and cooking for a further 3-4 minutes.
9. 9Avoid moving the mushrooms too much while cooking, as this releases the natural juices, making them soggy.
10. 10For the tomatoes, cut the tomatoes across the centre/or in half lengthways if using plum tomatoes, and with a small, sharp knife remove the green 'eye'.
11. 11Add salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with a little olive oil. Place the cut-side down on the grill plate and cook without moving for 2 minutes. Gently turn over and season again.
12. 12Let it cook for a further 2-3 minutes until tender but still holding their shape.
13. 13For the black pudding, cut the black pudding into 3-4 slices and remove the skin. Lay the on the grill plate and cook for 1½-2 minutes each side until slightly crispy.
14. 14For 'proper' fried bread it's best to cook it in a separate pan. Ideally, use bread that is a couple of days old. Heat a frying pan to a medium heat and cover the base with oil.
15. 15Add the bread and cook for 2-3 minutes each side until crispy and golden. If the pan becomes too dry, add a little more oil. For a richer flavour, add a knob of butter after you turn the slice.
16. 16For the fried eggs, break the egg straight into the pan with the fried bread and leave for 30 seconds. Add a good knob of butter and lightly splash/baste the egg with the butter when melted.
17. 17Cook to your preferred stage, season and gently remove with a fish slice.
18. 18ServeOnce all the ingredients are cooked, serve on warm plates and enjoy straight away with a good squeeze of tomato ketchup or brown sauce.
