How We Cook Store Bought Ikea Meatballs

Since Ikea is always crowded whenever we go, we just buy their ready-to-cook meatballs. No need to go through the whole shop since you can just buy it from the food section. We keep forgetting though how to cook it, so I decided to film it last time we had Ikea meatballs. Our "Recipes for My Son" channel was created exactly for that purpose - to remember how we cook things! No need to ask each other again whether we should thaw the meatballs or not! Haha. 

To avoid using too much oil, we cook the meatballs how we cook gyoza and hotdogs. We use a bit of olive oil to brown the frozen meatballs and then we add water. The boiling water and steam cooks the meatballs through. I don't like oily food so this works well for us. Here's how we do it -

We were able to buy the whole set (meatballs, gravy and lingonberry jam) before, but lately the gravy has always been out of stock. We were forced to try a different brand of gravy mix. It's worked out so far. We thought the meatball would taste different, but there's not much difference in the gravy. 

Easy peasy. :)
