I have also brought this up before (albeit titled differently and asking about tags too). I would like to see some more structures to our recipes as well. As of now, formatting is your own choice w...
Burger with caramelised onions I get the mince from a good butcher, which is essential to making it taste great. This time I added caramelised onions, although I also enjoy other options, such as b...
Depending on the size of the stuff you want to keep in the pan and the time-criticality: Strainer. You mentioned that your pasta strainer's holes are too big. I have colanders with holes of two...
There are cotton filters for home cold-brewed coffee, but it would also be possible to make cold brew without any sort of filter during the brewing, just run it through a disposable filter afterwar...
Phyla are not a classification of how good the broth of an organism tastes. Your question could just as easily be posed about beef and skunk broth (or since the phylum for mammals is chordata, even...
While beans are often canned with calcium chloride to keep cell walls strongs and salt for flavor, all of the starch that leaches into the water is inherent in the beans. It just needs to be let ou...
A handful of mishaps and a couple of oil burns has made me rather gun-shy about deep frying anything bigger than a cashew. This is especially true for something with water in it, like dough. (I ha...
I had a banana bread recipe that called for brown sugar, but all the brown sugar I could find in the house had turned to rock. I never actually got to try the original recipe, but I got a nicely fl...
Thick stews and "mushy" foods seem like they tend to do pretty well. I've had good luck with chilies and soups (both vegetable and pasta). These can all be dumped in a bowl and microwaved for a few...
What are some foods that can be cooked, then frozen, and then thawed or reheated for a quick meal? I'm not necessarily looking for specific recipes, but ideas about general food types.
Distinguishing features? Generally: Dish soaps are chemical surfactants; fruit washes use plant and animal based surfactants. Can the former (dish soap) be used as the latter (fruit wash)? Yes....
They are the same cooking method. However, an outdoor gas grill is typically not built as well as indoor gas grill of the same cost, because they need to include a housing. Practically speaking, th...
Why is macaroni primarily sold curved ("elbow") but boxed macaroni-and-cheese sold straight? If I wanted to buy the non-curved pasta, the only generally-available way of purchasing it is to buy bo...
TL;DR: is there something I can coat the inside of metal salt shakers with to protect them? Or am I missing a better clue? I have two pairs of antique glass salt shakers (of significant sentimenta...
I think the only real question here is leg. Drumstick - the lower part Thigh - the upper part Leg Quarter - Drumstick + Thigh. "Quarter" comes from the 4 quarters: Left Drumstick + Thigh, Right Dr...
I made toasted cheese sandwiches with soft, fresh white bread. They where softer then I expected when I took them out of the frying pan. Kind of bendy and floppy around instead of holding their sha...
I have the same (nearly) ingredients but a very different process, and it results in nice crispy grilled cheese every time: Two slices of regular sandwich bread frozen and removed from the freezer...
I use a griddle or frying pan; the key is to toast/grill/fry the insides golden-brown so they are crispy before sandwiching the cheese between them. I don't think toasting them would be a good idea...
I live in shared flat and today I rummaged through our kitchen a bit. There I was surprised to find the following kitchen tool: It has small holes in it and the area around it heats up pretty qui...
Today I found some interesting things while rummaging through the kitchen in my shared flat. One of the things I found was a waffle maker but sadly it's a bit broken. The hinge between the top and...
Each pan of the waffle maker is made by pouring molten metal into a mold, then applying many layers of a non-stick coating. Repairing a break in this location is not reasonable. Waffle-makers in w...
Milk is water, protein, fat, and sugar (lactose). In a half-cup of milk, I google: 4g protein, 4g fat, 6g sugar. I would substitute in a half cup of water, ignore the extra protein, add a drip more...
Soy Milk makes a good substitute. A word of caution, in most case use the original non-flavored type. Using vanilla soy milk with canned tomato soup is unpleasant. I found several supporting refere...
Today was a cold, rainy day, so I made this hearty vegetable stew to compensate. Contains miscellaneous vegetables from my latest produce box.
