That NY Times article was fascinating, but I think we're also talking about two different things here - cooking with "cheap" wine (i.e. Two Buck Chuck) and cooking with "corked" (off) wine. ...

Ginger syrups are great, and don't throw away that steeped ginger! Roll it in a pan of sugar, dry it on a rack or in a low 200 oven, and viola, candied ginger! Ming Tsai taught me this trick:

Glass as a cutting board surface is terrible for your knives.

NSFW?

Sometimes I feel like I lose too much asparagus this way. A few times I've had 4 inches or more snap off, and I'm pretty sure all of it wasn't "woody."

Needs more pears.

I resisted the urge to buy a bench scraper for the longest time, feeling that it was an unnecessary "gadget" for the kitchen. I rarely make dough, and use my knife blade to scrape mirepoix in the ...

I wonder if the "sink" retains water.

I'm a huge fan of the Unicorn Magnum pepper mill. It was the one recommended by Cooks Illustrated, and I heartily agree, it's fantastic. I like the sleek look of it, and the shower of pepper that...

I liked this show better when it was called Food 911 with Tyler Florence.

I'm in.

House smelling of bacon - this wins the award for "Least Problematic Problem of All Time". Seriously though, I just give it a few days and wipe down all the kitchen surfaces. Goes a...

You all need to chill. Maybe you have 4 hours to make dessert, but I'd rather take some shortcuts using quality products. I'm making a trifle for our holiday dinner using a pound cake from a loca...

Where's Sherlock?

I'm disappointed, but not surprised, at the vitriol of some of the commenters as well. Just get a rosemary tree, then after the holidays, eat it!

I love it, but my aunt refuses to eat it from any bird (duck, chicken, or turkey) as she says it smells. I once did get a funktified one, which you would think would turn me off to t...

Cute, but my arm would get tired from shaking the amount of pepper I like from those three tiny holes.

By the way, children don't have to have "supertaster" palates to be sensitive to foods. Children, being children, have more sensitive palates overall, which is why they may dislike "bitter" vegeta...

How does a site like Epinions, whose entire premise is rating products/stores, deal with it? Ridiculous, and I'd love to know the stores to ensure that I don't patronize them ever in my lifetime.

That's allota leeks.
