Hello everyone, I have a question about using sterling silver for serving food. I’m a bit unsure about how it reacts with acidic dishes or if tarnish poses any risk. Would anyone be able to share their experience or knowledge? I’d love to learn more about whether it’s safe for serving food, how to keep my sterling silver looking its best, and any special precautions I should take when using it. 5 posts - 4 participants Read full topic ..read more

Every year I see seasonal posts from canners, bakers, cooks, and gardeners – each sharing ways to use up the annual batch of preserved fruit before the next harvest arrives. Here’s a place to consolidate those ideas: what are your good ideas and intentions for purposing the abundant fruits of your labor? Jam makes a nice glaze for pork tenderloin. It can also enhance a popsicle. Some of my favorite ways to use up jam involve baked goods: Shortbread Jelly rolls Thumb-print cookies Victoria sponge cake Mini hand pies Outside of crowning your buttered toast, how will you be using your jam surplus ..read more

Hi… I’m curious about whether it’s safe and effective to cook bacon on parchment paper in the oven instead of using a traditional pan or tray. Will it affect the taste or texture of the bacon? Can the parchment paper handle the grease and high heat without causing any issues? Looking for advice and experiences from the forum community! 5 posts - 5 participants Read full topic ..read more

I consider getting a small Yakitori grill. Is there anyone who owns one or has experience using one, either at home or in a professional kitchen ? Can you use it for rib eye steaks or only for smaller cuts ? It’s recommended to use the japanese sumi binco coal for it, as this produces less smoke in the kitchen. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

from time to time, I’ve thought it would be nice to have a mandoline but probably no more than 2-3 times a year. I promised to make Oklahoma burgers for the kids so it’s one of those times. when I worked in a restaurant in college, they were used quite a bit but I’ve managed with a sharp knife until now. wirecutter likes the super benriner 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic ..read more

Most measuring cups have painted on markings that eventually fade away. Hand washing them seems pretty easy until you have some with residue that hardens or is sticky. I would very much like to find a set of one cup, two cup, and four cup (or rough equivalents in ml) that are borosilicate and have etched markings. I have searched a fair amount but keep looking. Does anyone know of a source? This seems like a desirable product for someone to produce. I imagine there are loads of cooks that would jump on such a product. Of course, that may just be me projecting. 17 posts - 9 participants Read fu ..read more
