Same issue with scallop vs. scallops.
I have a recipe for a whole-wheat sourdough bread that works pretty well, but it's not very exciting -- it's a basic bread. I've had honey-wheat bread that I've liked, so I'd like to adapt this re...
Monkfish curry, recipe by Great British Chef, Alfred Prasad:
I've had this pan for 8 years. It's low priced and average — I see no brands or names on it — not even on the bottom! I followed What’s the Difference Between Nonstick and Stainless Steel Cookware...
I frequently make toast with cheese or quesadillas quickly by placing tortillas or bread on a baking sheet and cook them for a short time in the oven. When I place shredded cheese (cheddar) on, it ...
Unfortunately I can't really tell from the pictures if that's a stainless steel pan or not. Stainless steel pans are definitely not "nonstick" in the sense of an actual nonstick pan. However, beca...
How do you feel about alcohol? Adding alcohol (ethanol) will reduce the formation of ice crystals, and make the ice cream feel smoother and creamier. As a bonus, there are a lot of flavors out th...
The flavors provided by fish sauce are saltiness, umami, and funk (from fermentation). You can get saltiness from salt, umami from seaweed or MSG powder, and funk from any fermented vegetable prod...
I have a dome-shaped wok lid, made of aluminum with a wooden grab at the top. It was cheap. It is large, lightweight, and works exactly as one would want a wok lid to work. The wok manufacturers...
You can use a ratio of 1:1 by volume if you minimize evaporation with a lid; 1 couscous to 1.15 or 1.25 water if there will be more evaporation or you prefer it a little mushy; or you can use a gen...
Saxitoxins are the mechanism for paralytic shellfish poisoning. They are not produced by the creatures, but absorbed from passing blooms of microscopic creatures. They are not eliminated by cookin...
Here's the method I use for situations where it is important that I do the separation, and the quantity demanded is moderate -- say, up to a dozen eggs. It is possible to purchase liquid yolk and ...
Here's a wonderful trick I learned a long time ago. Get a plastic drinking bottle. Not the really solid kind, something you can squeeze easily. Take the cap off. Wrap a bit of sticky tape (or c...
What you are experiencing is a partially overcooked green bean. The exterior membrane is partially detached from the flesh of the bean, but the seeds have not yet been cooked through. Don't boil g...
I believe you will find this article both entertaining and useful: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-vegan-nacho-sauce-as-good-as-the-real-thing-recipe-vegan-experience (the recipe alone i...
A WaterPik or similar water flosser should work for this. You'll want one with an adjustable pressure, as the highest setting won't be suitable for the more delicate vegetables. A pre-rinse in a l...

If a gas grill don't heat up enough, an electric grill definitely won't. What to use then? You'll need a hot charcoal grill for this. Gas may get you there, but I doubt it. Most gas grills don'...
(I have a little experience with grills but none with squid.) Gas grills have a temperature dial that usually goes up to 450-500F. Whether you actually achieve that temperature depends on a numbe...
Vegetarian stuffed peppers. Got an unwanted green pepper in the produce box (eww, but spouse likes them), so got a red one for myself and made these. Judging the amount of stuffing is inexact.
For me it seems that this is only a cosmetics steps. In order to prepare the butter, you need to mix it with the other ingredients, meaning that the butter won't be in its original shape. Putting ...
I'm guessing that "pale" doesn't refer to color, because many sherries are already pale yellow? In Chinese cooking, rice wine is often used as a seasoning to cover up certain unwanted flavors, ...
I'm no fishmonger, and don't know what the author means? If you have a good fishmonger, ask him to source the ‘double sucker’ variety of octopus, he will know what you mean. They come frozen, cl...
Chilis are too spicy for me. Will the recipe below still work with bell peppers that aren't spicy? I'm assuming that the chili is intended just to spice the mussels. Does the chili serve another p...
Broth (whether vegetable or meat) is thinner -- it makes a good soup, but unless you thicken it with flour or cornstarch, it won't produce that thicker texture that characterizes curries. Broths a...
