Everyone loves burgers and everyone has their own idea how burgers should be ideally done. So it's burger time! Your task is to create some juicy burgers and share them with us. (And after you've d...
I made my first sourdough bread recently. The friend who gave me the starter also gave me a basic recipe attributed to Ed Wood, which I followed (1 cup fed starter, 3.5 cups all-purpose flour, 1 t...
When you baked your bread, you most likely missed some heat from above. (And it seems that the oven you use might be designed that way, meaning that preheating uses top and bottom elements but reta...
Burger with self-made patties Link to recipe to make self-made patties: https://cooking.codidact.com/articles/276556. Just a simple burger with self-made patties. Added vegetables were lettuce, tom...
I brown a lot of ground beef for meal prep and as the base of everything from pasta sauce to Mexican casserole. I've noticed two different possibilities for heat - high and semi-searing, or low and...
I would like to use a home-made subsitute for meat in dishes or sauces which traditionally have some. I live in Western Europe and have access to a variety of industrially-made vegetarian steaks bu...
It's currently difficult to write out "modernist"-style recipes in the recipes tab. See the following example from Modernist Cuisine: It doesn't seem possible to create tables without resorting to...
In China, "pulled noodles" (拉麵/拉面) are created by stretching dough over and over again. I want to know how to do this. Authors of English language articles about pulled noodles often cheat by cutti...

Please note that a my normal pasta strainer has too large gaps so that finely cut vegetables would just squeeze right through it. If the pasta strainer does not work, just use a simple siv, like ...
I've made sourdough bread a few times following the same ("beginner") recipe. After the dough rises overnight in a bowl you put it on a floured surface, fold it in on itself to shape it, and let i...
My experience: Coffee + water in container, filter afterwards: good. Coffee in fine-mesh bag in water in container: good, but needs longer brew time or some agitation. Coffee in steel mesh su...
The goal is not so much to limit exposure to air, as to limit humidity loss. Covering your bowl with plastic film or foil is perfectly reasonable, as long as it has enough room for expansion. Remem...
From personal experience I would say that the 'Chicken leg quarters' include half of the back. When butchering a chicken the back where thighs/legs attach can be cut into a separate piece of chicke...
I am planning a small dinner party later this week, and had some questions about whether or not certain dishes would go well together. Would these be appropriate questions for the site? It seems to...
Yes, I think they could be with some conditions. Questions about pairing wine with food are no good fit in my opinion. My opinion here is based on the fact that even wine experts often aren't able ...
Recipes for cheese soup, sauce, and dip usually call for heating the liquids first and then adding the cheese, rather than starting with cheese and liquid in a cold pot. In this queso recipe, milk...
I'm someone who likes to cook a lot (most of it stems from the fact to eat what you cooked afterwards). But there is one thing in the kitchen that I'm rather hesitant to do: baking. While I do like...
Baking inherently takes time, so I can't help with the desire to get from a cold start to baked goods in twenty minutes, but I've been doing more baking (especially bread) over the last several mon...
It's possible to 3D print cookie cutters or measuring cups or dumpling makers with PLA, however its not certain that doing so would be safe. The two problems people mention are, Possible impuritie...
For years I've had the strange habit of eating uncooked spaghetti, just a single straw now and then (it has become less frequent, now it only happens a couple of times per year), and only spaghetti...
No, there are no significant effects related to consuming pasta raw, neither positive nor negative ones. Pasta is primarily made out of semolina and water. Sometimes, eggs are added. Cooking pasta ...
I used some pre-made pizza dough bought from my local supermarket to prepare some pizza balls (basically pizza dumplings). A problem I encountered was that the dough was very non-sticky so that I c...
I've recently been enjoying the change of seasons here in the south-east US. Instead of stepping outdoors to be immediately drenched in sweat from the sweltering summer sun, we have lovely days tha...
