I honestly don't have any of these issues you talked about when roasting using a bit of olive oil and aluminum foil. This looks like it's trying to fix a problem that really doesn't exist. I also am not wasting a sheet of parchment paper each time I roast beets! A Better Way To Roast Beets? |

I really want this because I love all sorts of coffee and tea brewing implements however I totally agree with the reviewer - the basket should be way bigger. I wonder if the designer is even a tea drinker? Nobel Glass Travel Thermos Product Review |

For someone who has never canned in his life, can anyone recommend any other books? I will probably pick this one up but I see a handful of books on Amazon and don't know which to get. The Art of Preserving from Williams-Sonoma Book Notes |

I have a tub of this in my fridge. Keeps for a long time. I bought it to make Korean Fried Chicken but haven't found any other uses for it. Obviously, I haven't tried too hard. Ingredient Spotlight: Gochujang |

I lived in a place that had this issue and it was extremely annoying finding dead bugs, larvae, eggs, everywhere. I don't want to paint the impression that we were dirty or anything. The complete opposite in fact. We were super clean but no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get rid of them. I would even find them in packages I vacuum sealed! We threw away all the pantry items twice and they always came back. Extremely frustrating. How Can I Get Rid of My Pantry Moth Infestation? Good Questions |

I grew up eating the savory ones and my mom would make basically a caramel sauce that you would dip this into. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Can anyone share a recipe? Recipe: Banh Chung (Vietnamese Rice Cakes for the Lunar New Year) |

I wasn't sure what Zero Waste meant but I learned that it basically means you just use your own mesh bags and lots of jars instead of store packaging. I can see how this works when you tell the fishmonger to put your salmon directly into a jar (I question the safety of this), but I am not sure how it makes sense when you buy chocolate covered pretzels, which come in a bag or box, then take it home and repack it into a jar. You still have to recycle the box, right? How is that any different than what I do which is buy the pretzels, leave them in the box in the pantry, then recycle it when I am done with the contents? I skipped the whole jar aspect. Video: Béa Johnson on Creating a Zero-Waste Kitchen Sunset |

I know it sounds funny but I'd really like to taste some corked wine. Not wine that is bad or off but one that an expert would agree is corked. Why? I have never come across it and I want to know what to look for when I do. I don't know anyone, in fact, that has tried corked wine.

Made this last night. The alcohol and nutmeg sort of reminded me of eggnog. Very yummy but definitely strong. I also had to add about 2 tsp of brown sugar (in case anyone needed a starting point) to make it interesting. Otherwise, you have 8 oz of milk so it's a pretty bland drink.

I think there are very limited uses for a pocket knife for culinary needs but I think the need is there. Think of picnics or camping or bringing a cheeseboard to a winery. A cheap pocketknife like an Opinel would be great. Yes, you could use a paring knife but then you'd need a shield for the blade and even then I don't feel safe tossing it in a paper bag or my bag.

It's not just parents, it's 95% of every person's home I visit, including good friends. I actually feel like I am putting myself in danger when I am helping to cook at another person's house. If they are local (ie I don't have to fly there), I am not above bringing over my own knife. People are kind of surprised but they are rarely insulted or get over it quickly.
