Don't forget to mention rolling out the dough in rice flour. One of the previous Kitchen posts pointed out that the dough won't stick to the counter when it's rolled in rice flour. Neat advice!
If the sweet potatoes convert the starches to sugars during the long, low baking process, then won't they be more moist and not as good for a mashed potatos type dish. I like my sweet potatoes on ...
I'm gluten intolerant and bake all the time without Xanthan gum. A person needs to readjust their expectations to baking without gluten. The flavor is better without the artifical flavor or textura...
Oh my, another way to part a person and his money. Careful pouring from the pan works just fine. I's be afraid that it would fall off the lip of the pan and slosh liquid all over.
I have not only fine china but sterling silverware to go with it, a sterling coffee and tea service and fine crystal. Grandmother loved to set a formal table with all the niceties in life. It's t...
Sure makes a difference closing the doors and drawers in the appearance of the After shot. Shouldn't they be left open in the after shot so we are comparing apples and apples? Everything is off th...
Didn't we have a post about kitchen knife storage recently. I seem to remember a big difference in opinions whether the blades go up or down, whether blocks or drawers are okay, and how to properly...
I keep my spice jars on a double decker, lazy susan made for the cupboard. It works really well because one swirl of the round will expose any spice i need. I can't imagine storing spices in a draw...
If you can still smell previous baked things in the silicone ware than things are being leached in and out of the surfaces. that's a huge warning sign to me. Things are not getting clean. I have s...
I make a short cut version of pumpernickle using plain yogurt to give the bread its sour flavor in place of the sourdough starter. I'm not a fan of darkly browned items from the Maillard process. ...
This is a nice idea but in my small kitchen I'd never have room to turn. The wood island would be in the middle and constantly banging into the refrig door, the stove door or me.
I love to mix them up and cook them together in milk...cream of wheat and rolled barley flakes, oatmeal in cream of rice, cream of rice and wheat together. Add a few egg whites, salt, pepper and br...
I peel cukes, eggplants, carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes. The skins have a bitter component that give me stomach aches. I never peel zucchini or summer squash. I prefer my peaches, apples, pa...
I replaced the faucet and love the new one. It doesn't drip! I tried to replace the faucet by myself (single female) and did fine until I ran across a rusted bolt that even liquid wrench wouldn't d...
A carnivore only eats meat. humans eat a wide variety of foods, hence they are omnivores. Why do vegetarians make such a big deal out of avoiding meat?
I don't know if these count but I've never used the rotary hand mixer and the square pancake griddle. They sit in the cupboard taking up precious space.
I support our local schools with a far more valuable commodity: volunteer time. I voluteer at the school correcting papers for the teachers, six in all, which gives them more time in front of the ...

I second the wire strainer, kitchen shears and kitchen scales. I use them all the time along with my veggie/fruit peeler and microwave.

Why is the peel vs. not to peel article missing from the list? Over 30 people commented on peeling carrots vs. not peeling.

I love cooking rolled barley flakes and cream of rice for breakfast. The barley has a nice chew.
