I don't understand why the spout is so high. There is going to be a bunch of liquid in the bottom that will require some maneuvering to get out.

I wouldn't put these containers directly from the freezer into a hot oven. The thermal shock could break them even if the website claims otherwise.

My father grew up on a dairy farm. As a I child I would drink raw milk when I visited my grandmother. I didn't find it particularly different from regular milk. Mostly I noticed it was thicker because it was whole milk.

My parents have the stove pictured. They used the grill a few times, but ended up taking it out and putting in extra burners - additionally switching between burners and the grill element is not the easy-peasy exercise the promotional material would have you believe. The grill is hard to clean. The fat drips down into some funny little compartment accessible from the oven. Then obviously, there is a lot of smoke from grilling indoors.

I thought American Coke was made with corn syrup? Is this for only Coke sweetened with sugar cane?

If I zest the lemon and don't need the juice for the recipe I just put the lemon in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep it from drying out. It works okay if you use the lemon in the next couple of days.

I cook for only myself about 1/2 the time. (The other half my boyfriend comes over, I eat out, or I go to my parents.) I think the best part about cooking for 1 is I feel I can experiment without forcing anyone else to eat my duds and I can eat whatever I feel like.

If you like to have pasta with sauce, I think you will need two large pots. I have a dutch over I make my pasta sauce in. But no other large pot to make pasta in so I am always crowding my noodles.

You can drain yogurt in a paper coffee filter too.

I am definitely eyeing the brownie recipes.
