Don’t freeze leftover dough in a log. Portion out the entire batch and then freeze what you don’t use right away. Otherwise you’ll have to either wait for your dough to thaw, or try to hack through a frozen log.

I make my own dimming stickers just by using scotch tape over the LED, and then coloring it in with a black marker. Just as cheap as (or cheaper than) the electrical tape, but you can still see the light.

If cheese is the main focus of the sandwich, it’s still grilled cheese.

I prefer a tea or dish towel around the rim of the pot. It allows the pressure to dissipate while most of the moisture gets absorbed by the towel. This means no column of steam coming out, which could cause issues with chocolate seizing.

Technically it’s not even oat juice, as you’re not getting the liquid from the plant. It’s filtered oat slurry.

I wonder if toasting the oats beforehand would improve it.

I believe that’s Beethoven’s Fur Elise.

My “oven mitts” are a pair of leather welding gloves I bought at Home Depot.

Why? It’s not like you need crispy pancakes. All you really need is to reheat them, since they’re going to get soggy anyway, when you douse them in the requisite butter and maple syrup.

I’ve got a 12inch stainless steel ruler that I keep in the kitchen drawer. Better than a tape measure. I can use it directly on food and not worry that I’ll get something in my food, and I don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in tiny crevices, because I can just chuck it in the dishwasher.

After trying a couple cheaper brands, I learned several years ago that only Silpats will fit properly in a half sheet pan.

Milk jugs in Kansas’ Kroger stores (i.e. Dillon’s) have already changed. They’re... odd.

Having made chocolate dessert hummus in the past (similar to above, but with cocoa powder in place of the spices), I suggest eating it with cinnamon sugar pita chips.

We did that with beans in a campfire once in my early teens. We didn’t, however, open the can first. Big boom; beans everywhere.

This kind of brush is great, but it’s not worth $15. I bought mine at the dollar store, and, while it doesn’t have the handy scraping receptacle, a second brush works just as well, and only brings the total cost to $2.

French style, tri-fold omelettes are both scrambled eggs and an utter bitch.

McDonald’s fries stopped using beef tallow in the early 90's. Although they switched to vegetable oil, not because of vegetarians, but, because people wanted less saturated fat.

The vodka isn’t there to add flavor itself, but to bring out all the flavor in the tomatoes. There are flavor compounds in tomatoes that are only soluble in alcohol, which is why so many tomato sauces add wine or, in this case, vodka.

Or, you can be the Browns and not have either... ever... god, I need a drink.

I like my pasta attachment, but my one criticism is that it ends up a foot off the counter, whereas stand alone pasta rollers are down on the counter. It makes it a little harder to get the pasta sheets in straight when they start to get long and you’re having to hold the whole thing up in the air.
