I have a silicone pastry brush (dishwasher safe!), and I usually use it to brush melted butter onto a chicken before I roast it.

I agree with clampers , if you want a chicken for the meat for soups, stews, fajitas, salad, etc... cook it on low for 6-8 hours in a crockpot with half a stick of butter & some salt & pepper...

Cheese, the crappy grocery store cheddar, melted on a piece of bread. It's crack. Delicious, delicious crack.

How to de-pith citrus fruits. How to quickly peel the skin off roast peppers. How to mince garlic without using a doohickey that's impossible to clean. How to make a good spice rub/curry powder/tac...

I always eat breakfast, usually at work. Either rice cakes with peanut butter or yogurt with a little jam or both, coffee and a lot of water. On days when I'm out of rice cakes, I usually eat the p...

Well, if ScottyT is embarrassed to enjoy Yellowtail, I should be similarly embarrased to say that I keep the Target wine in a box on hand. Keeps fresh, I like the taste and it works beautifully in ...

What about a silicone mat tied with a rubber band?

Most collard green braises will do just as well for beet greens. Num!

Basil, followed closely by rosemary.

I think it's freaking awesome, but not for $180!
