Answer A: How do I fry donuts safely?
I don't deep-fry either, so this answer is not rooted in personal experience, but are you aware of "splatter screens"? This is a screen of fine mesh mounted in a round frame and with a handle, designed to sit on top of the frying pan to cut down on the splatter on the rest of your stove. I imagine ...

Comment Post #285284 The strongest heat comes from the seeds, which I was removing. Also, some cooking processes mellow hot peppers somewhat. (More like a foot away; I don't see so well so I'm probably working closer than usual when seeding/deveining peppers.)

Comment Post #275854 Thanks for the tip! I never thought about the physical properties being different, but they are and it makes sense that this would matter.

Question Should posting on Meta affect reputation?
When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ...

Answer A: (When) is cross-posting ok?
This is my personal opinion and not an official position of Codidact. I have sometimes re-asked questions when I asked them somewhere else and didn't get the results I was looking for. What I usually do in this case is: - Wait a reasonable amount of time -- give the original question a chance...

Question (When) is cross-posting ok?
This community sometimes gets posts that are copied from other sites. We delete those because copying from somewhere else is plagiarism. How do we want to handle cases where the author does the copying? If somebody says "I am the person who wrote that Quora/Reddit/SE/etc question and I want to ask...

Comment Post #288416 Thank you! I was guessing that, if I needed to adjust an ingredient proportion, water would be the least helpful because it cooks out more easily. But I didn't know whether to go for eggs or oil, or if the real problem was the extra working of the dough. I'll try another egg next. (I didn't know ...

Question How do I make my braided egg bread more moist?
I made a braided challah that came out reasonably overall but tastes a little dry. I'm not sure which parameters I need to adjust. The recipe I followed specifies the following ingredients: - 3/4 C water - 4 C flour[^1] - 2 eggs (I used large) - 1/3 C oil (I used vegetable oil) - 4 T sugar (...

Answer A: Cooking potatoes in an air fryer
Since you mention cutting them, I assume you're not asking about making whole baked potatoes in the air fryer. (I understand that's possible but I haven't done it.) Here's what I do. This gets me crispness that's consistent with oven-roasting, not with deep-frying. I start with baby or small ...

Comment Post #288140 Tradeoffs between gas and electric grills could be a good start to a question, but I find all the pictures distracting. Typical specs for the two classes of options would be much more useful to me. Also, can you do it with less linking to specific products/vendors?

Question Is any amount of salmonella-tainted flour dangerous, or is there a lower threshold?
There was recently a recall for certain flour, due to risk of salmonella contamination. The CDC announcement says not to cook with the flour. Naturally they are going to be conservative, and they might have in mind uses like cakes and cookies where flour is a major ingredient. I don't know if my...

Answer A: Bread maker bread without yeast?
Recipes I've seen for this tend to use baking powder, not baking soda, even though you're supposed to be able to use baking soda plus acid in place of baking powder. Perhaps that's more fragile than using baking powder? Breads that use baking powder as leavening instead of yeast are sometimes cal...

Comment Post #286812 You found a reference to scallops with an apple topping, so clearly somebody has done it. You seem to be asking "can you do that?" but the answer is in your question. Closing as unclear.

Question Can you get the starchy byproduct of canned beans starting from dried beans?
Canned beans (like great northern beans or black beans) come with fluid that is thicker than water. I believe this thickening is starch being leached out of the beans into the water during the canning process. When I cook with canned beans I usually drain them and then rinse them. A friend makes...

Comment Post #280890 Thanks @#54706. I renamed oysters, tomatoes, pancakes, mussels, and mushrooms. The others are often talked about using the singular forms ("we had shrimp" even though you almost certainly had more than one, likewise crab, squid, jellyfish, turkey).

Comment Post #285284 I looked for safety-related tags and found `food-safety`, which this isn't, so I didn't want to create `safety`. I'm not sure what technique tag I could use that's more specific than the too-general `technique`. If you can improve the tags for this, please do! I created `hot-peppers` because it se...
