@manassehkatz I corrected the part about the bun and if you would like to see the vegetable requirement removed, I can do this as well. Tbh, I didn't ever have a burger without one part vegetables so maybe my culinary inexperience in this case biased me a little bit too much when I wrote it. (more) |

A: What are other uses for an omelet maker besides making omelets?

We could also ask to avoid using ingredients usually associated with a recipe and to find substitutes for it. For clarification, what is pantry cooking? Cooking only with things you have on hand in your pantry? (more) |

What do you think of a monthly cooking challenge? On the photography Codidact site, I saw a monthly photo contest with the topic sunsets and I thought why we couldn't add something similar here (with a similar timeframe or another timeframe entirely like every two months). I thought about a monthly cooking challenge. I know for myself that I ofte... (more) |

A: Basil as a pizza topping If you use fresh herbs as topping for any dish, these should be added after you have cooked or baked your meal. When cut, fresh herbs are very small and their internal structure consists of a lot of water which due to the smallness of the herbs evaporates quickly as soon as it's heated up, meaning... (more) |

How can I best sharpen dull knives? I have some pretty common knives at home that I use for cutting vegetables, fish, meat and everything else that needs cutting. I don't have specific knives for specific kinds of food but rather use all knives for everything depending on what is quickly available. Some the knives have become dull o... (more) |

How do I best turn an omelet? Whenever I make an omelet I have a hard time turning it over to fry it from both sides. I use a plate, cover the pan and turn everything so that, in the best case, the omelet now is on my plate and I can just put it back into the pan with the not fried site facing down. However, very often the ome... (more) |

Why would you flash freeze your meals instead of freezing them regularly? I heard that if you have to freeze food, it's better to flash freeze it (given you have the means to do it). I also know that flash freezing (as the name implies) is a method to cool down a given object rapidly. What's up with this recommendation? How is flash freezing better opposed to regular fr...

How can I best reheat frozen meals? Usually, I prepare food in large quantities and freeze most of it so I don't have to cook the following days. I'm used to the part where food that is frozen the normal, slow way loses some of its original texture, flavour and firmness. As I can't do anything about the freezing process for I only h...

A: How can I make hard cheese keep longer, while preserving texture? Storing hard cheese in a refrigerator isn't required in order to preserve it. Cooling down or even freezing cheese messes up its structure (and therefore its texture as you noted) so it's best to store hard cheese in a dry, cool and dark place like a pantry. If you don't have one, your cellar migh... (more) |

How can I preserve the crispiness of tortillas in a tortilla casserole? Today I made a casserole based on tortillas (basically nachos but with more ingredients and in a casserole dish). Besides tortillas, I've added a mix of vegetables (tomatoes, chilli peppers, paprika and avocado) as well as minced meat which I roasted with onions and bread. I prepared a sauce consisti... (more) |

A: Unit conversions & should we use country information?

Tags and structure of recipes I like the new recipe tab and already have an idea what I will be doing the next time I bake.

While we use tags to, well, tag the recipes, I'm unsure what this all entails. ... (more) |

How do I make spicy food less spicy near the end of meal preparation? I like my food to be relatively spicy. Not everybody likes it so I sometimes overdo it when cooking with friends: near the end of the meal preparation, the food is too spicy for them and I know that they wouldn't enjoy it! Oftentimes I add pure milk or other milk based products like cream, cheese ... (more) |

I would vote for a solution with two tabs so you can separate recipes from everything else. I think (at least it's what I would like) that having a place just for recipes helps finding new recipes to try out without needing to go through other articles. The recipes themselves could be tagged with bre... (more) |

What do you think of a recipe tab? While I enjoy asking questions and receiving answers to them, I miss a space to post (home-developed) recipes.

Freezing versus home canning to preserve food If I'm cooking, I usually prepare large quantities of food so I can stockpile meals for the upcoming week and don't have to cook too often.
