I love long beans. I cut them into 2" pieces, throw them into a cast iron pan with just a little oil, and cook until they start to blister and get a little black. Throw in some spicy black bean sau...

The Green Cat Freeze it. Bread freezes extremely well. If I make enough bread to last a couple of days I make sure it's nice and cool and keep it on the counter in a large ziplock bag....

A piece of good sharp white cheddar next to my pie please. I grew up in Pennsylvania.

I wouldn't put mine in the dishwasher, just like any cast iron. The lip of the pot and lid are both exposed, not enameled. It doesn't really matter though, it cleans easily and quickly and it would...

I received my Tramontina along with a replacement handle for the lid. The gifter told me that the plastic one that comes with the dutch oven gives off fumes at high heat in the oven. I don't know, ...

I agree with dksbook. Why the stick? There's a really great single serving pie place near me. They don't have forks. Why? Because you can pick it up by the crust. It's not like a slice, which is op...

Or, the next time you want to make real brownies from scratch, just measure out a second batch of dry ingredients while they and your measuring tools are out, put it in some tupperware, and you've ...

I go to a lot of film screenings. When I lived in Philadelphia either the interest was lower or the promotion wasn't very good, because I'd show up 5 minutes early and manage to find a seat. Someti...

I always add broccoli to mine. I finish mine in the oven for 15 minutes with some breadcrumbs, and the broccoli cooks perfectly if cut into bite size pieces when added just before going into the ov...

Oh jeez, I'm sorry. I somehow completely missed your note even though I read the recipe.

I'd just like to point out that depending on how strict of a vegetarian you are, this may not be suitable for your diet. Guinness stout is treated with isinglass which is made from fish products.

Jeff works in Miami. He's not from there and hasn't spent his entire career there. He knows Southern food outside of his Miami career.

I use a basic kitchenaid immersion blender and I wouldn't go with anything else. It's ridiculously easy to clean and since I got it, I hardly ever pull out the big blender. If I want to make one or...

Don't drink anything but water on public transportation, and then only if you have something to mop it up if you spill a little. I don't care how careful you are, all it takes is one guy pushing hi...

I use seasoned and enameled cast iron. I love my Wagner cast iron skillets. Both are from the 60s-70s era and work beautifully. One is from a flea market in the middle of nowhere. A guy there finds...

I realized that my loaf pan was larger than the one the recipe called for. I scaled the recipe up to use 2 lbs of tofu and it came out great.

I've been looking for a knife rack just like this. It'd be great to win.

Last night I made one of my favorite dishes, a spicy tomato and basil tofu recipe I created. It costs no more than $6 total to make, is extremely healthy (I've plugged the ingredients into a nutrit...

I've made a ton of stuff this month. I received my ice cream maker as a gift at the end of July and haven't had more than a day or two without ice cream in the freezer since. I've made chocolate ic...

Oh, and on a related note, I'm an urbanite that carries a messenger bag everywhere I go. I've been thinking about getting one of those titanium camping sporks to keep in my bag for just such an eme...
