I'd choose your words very carefully otherwise you will experience the full wrath of BBx.

I think of myself as a rather good cook but at times I really can't be bothered. Nothing wrong with not wanting to cook all the time.

The only bought mash type stuff I have ever used is Smash and then only for thickening soups.

Just finely chop a potato and throw it in. Same deal, less chemicals.

It depends how long you've got. If you need a very quick thickening then it wont work and cornflour is probably a better bet. I've you've 30 minutes or so then it will work - chop it fine enough and it will basically dissolve.
