A: How can I fix the broken hinge on my waffle maker? 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 working condition are often available cheaply at charity shops, because many people get them as weddin... (more) |

Some cookie doughs use pasteurized liquid egg. This is an egg product where the eggs have been raised to a specific temperature for a specific time that kills the bacteria, without fully cooking the egg. (more) |

A: How long will refrigerated cold brew coffee last? If you keep it in an air-tight glass or ceramic container without much headspace (unused space in the container) it will last for at least 2 weeks without flavor loss. If you use a plastic container, the coffee can pick up flavors from it (and leave flavor behind). The more air the coffee is e... (more) |

A: Why should one wrap bread dough in a towel during the last rise, instead of some other material? 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. Remember that the yeast is going to be making lots of carbon dioxide bubbles, and you don't want to end up wi... (more) |

A: How does a cotton filter for cold brew coffee affect the taste compared to no filter? My experience: 1. Coffee + water in container, filter afterwards: good. 2. Coffee in fine-mesh bag in water in container: good, but needs longer brew time or some agitation. 3. Coffee in steel mesh suspended in water: good, needs slightly longer brew time. (more) |

A: How do I get darker sourdough without burning it? Did you use a wash? A water wash (a few tablespoons of water applied to the top about halfway through) can give you a crispy crust. An egg wash (whisk an egg in a bowl with a small splash of water) applied when the loaves go in can give you a darker, glossier crust. Finally, make sure the ov... (more) |

A: What heat level should I use to brown beef? With regard to texture: meat is a sponge of proteins holding water. As you cook it, the sponge tightens, forcing out water. If you stop and let it re-absorb the liquid, and it will regain some tenderness. Or you can keep going, and it will be tight and dry. If you want a nearly creamy texture, coo... (more) |

A: How can I get chicken as soft as possible in two hours or less? The softest chicken is chicken that has carefully been raised to the minimum safe cooking temperature, then had the cooking process stopped. The options: cooking in a high moisture environment means that the temperature can't go above 212F / 100C. That's still far too hot for chicken, but ... (more) |

A: How can I best sharpen dull knives? On serrations: Serrated edges are a mixed blessing. They accomplish several purposes: serrations pack more cutting edge length into the same overall blade length. This gives a mechanical advantage to your cut. serrations protect the inner curves of each scallop from being banged around. T... (more) |

TL;DR: you need one or more round rods coated in abrasive to handle serrations. Scary Sharp works best on flat edges and reasonably well on gently curved edges -- in the cooking world, best on slicers, very well on chef's knives, and less well on highly curved paring blades.

A: How can I best sharpen dull knives? The Scary Sharp system is, in general, the cheapest reliable method of getting blades sharp. It consists of getting a solid, flat work surface, adhering abrasives (sandpaper, to begin with) to the surface, and working your blade over it with the cutting edge as flat as possible. By using progressive... (more) |
