This is the first time that i have heard that they could be cooked 'upright', whenever i make Palmiers i slice and cook them flat once leaving them for a while in the freezer.

This is also Gordon Ramsay's recipe for Palmiers:

After my last post I went back to the drawing board and re-checked Ramsay's video, see link above, and yes I had them standing the way he stood his. So far so good. I then looked at the Channel 4 website, see Kye's post above and noticed one glaring fault. "slice into 1cm thick slices" mine were more like 2 1/2 cm.

I had a few large ones in the freezer and cut them into 1/4 inch sizes, placed one in the fridge for twenty minutes or so and the other back in the freezer. After the ones in the fridge had defrosted a little I baked them and the ones from the freezer. The results were much more impressive, I still have to get my temperature right (working on an old oven), and the ones put in from the freezer seemed to bake that little bit better. But I'll know better when I bake a larger batch, possibly tomorrow.

I have no wisdom to add to this, I just wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful thread title.

That said I think Jamie has just blogged Palmiers using the peppers advertised.

It was on Jim's blog that these were mentioned and he made up the recipe as the part of a challange
