I agree. I have to wonder how sober someone really is when all they do is talk about how they don’t drink anymore.

I mean, if you watch him, hes still heavily addicted to crack. Its not hard to see lol

I use Old Overholt Bonded Rye in my Manhattans and they burn so good. Substituting the sweet vermouth sounds like a worthwhile experiment. What Scotch do you use for your Rob Roy? I usually use an inexpensive blended, like Dewars and I did find a handle of Black & White Scotch a while back that does good cocktail…

I’ve been referring to it A LOT, now that I have a charcoal grill.

Love Amazing Ribs! 

this happens a lot more than you think in food media! it’s early spring, so expect to see a lot of pantry cleanout stuff with root vegetables and tubers, then toward the middle-end early season veggies, then salads, filler about how you should never use the self clean setting on your oven, more BBQ for labor day (US),…

Spill hot oil on a grill and you lose a $400 grill. Spill hot oil on a flame indoors and you lose a house. Ask the firemarshall which is worse. Besides my article recommends 1-2" of oil in a high heavy Dutch oven. Hard to spill.

my stepmom has been microwaving potatoes since i was a child and we were talking about potato hacks on friday (she’s also the one that told me about the mayo).

While Lyndsey’s technique is abysmal & dangerous, it also looks like all three of you need sharper knives - it appears that you, she, and Joel are all using quite a bit of pressure just to cut a simple onion. Sharpen those blades! A sharp knife is way safer to use than a dull one.

Related point:  Joel needs a chef’s knife.

I suppose that is marginally safer than swallowing the onion whole with a handful of razor blades and running in place for 15 minutes.

Lindsey: Please get a mandoline with a dicing blade, and a kevlar glove. I will pay shipping if necessary.

Claire: I jumped ahead in the video to see the method, had anxiety and actually yelled NOPE at my monitor. LOOK AT THIS. WHERE ARE MY PILLS.

I just saw a new technique from America’s Test Kitchen: Steam the eggs, then place them in a plastic container ice bath for 10 minutes. Dump out some of the water, close the container with its lid. Shake the container. The eggs banging against each other and the ice creates micro cracks. The water gets between the…

Have you ever tried making hard boiled eggs by steaming them? I find it to be even easier than the pressure cooker; with just an inch of water in my steaming pot, the water comes to a boil quickly, at which point the steamer basket with the eggs goes in - 12 min for a half dozen, or 14 for a dozen (YMMV depending on…

I actually did! It was a lot of fun, I distinctly remember a part where they hooked us up to this counter-weighted rig so we could climb on this structure weightlessly and feel what it would be like to repair the outside of a space station in zero G. There were group activities where we were each given a role and had…

This would probably work pretty well with freeze-dried cat treats, too.

Claire, you’re doing the Lord’s work by normalizing the use of MSG. A lot of the prejudice against it is coming from a place of ignorance, racist stereotypes, and a fear of “chemicals.”

I always carry a tiny shaker of MSG with me whenever I travel.

I have a job writing about food because I do weird shit no one else will and sometimes it works out really well.

THIS!... Is a stolen Bentley Flying Spur and today I’m going to show you all its quirks and features... while spitting profusely and proceeding to kick every interior surface and repeatedly flick every switch.
