Do you ever wonder how people who can’t cook to save their lives are getting by in a world where eating is a requirement for life to exist? It’s a necessary evil that, if you don’t contend with, you won’t be able to contend with anything at all.

But what if I told you that nobody’s hopeless and that everyone can learn it, given that they undergo the right kind of training? Yep, r/FoodHacks is one such place for folks to learn how to go about making food without having to remodel their kitchen every time cooking happens.

If you don't have two muffin trays, flip one (or a bun tray) upside down, and put a cookie on the top of each muffin mould. If your muffin tray is janky underneath, cover with tinfoil or muffin liners first.

This is utterly brilliant. I'm going to try this because the bottom of my muffin tray is exactly how you described. Thank you

A variation on this is to put brownie batter in the bottom of a waffle cone bowl , bake it, then put ice cream on top of the brownie-base bowl. It holds the fudge/sauces, whupped cream, and sprinkles better. Or do a blondie if you wanna use fruit

    Lettuce leaves are a good sandwich liner too-dry them well after washing, and line the buttered side with leaves before filling. Obviously, it doesn't work with fillings like strawberry jam or chocolate spread, unless you've got strange tastes in sandwich filler combinations.

    The explanation will reveal nothing magical. It's a fact that water means life, BUT only because water itself is a habitat for countless different types of bacteria. So, more water in the salad bowl means more microorganisms in there as well and you can be sure the 🦠🦠🦠 will enjoy a fresh salad as much as we do...🙋🏽

    It works for a WHILE, but not infinite. The plant needs nutrients too, not just water. Eventually growth will slow and the tops that do grow will be pale and flavorless. What we always did was plant our store-bought green onion “bottoms” outside in the garden (plant pot with soil will work too) - truly infinite green onions XD

You don't know ANYTHING until you get a whiff of scallions that have been in the same water for a week or two. This also works for basil.

    If you know how to properly cook pork chops you don't need to/shouldn't ever be necessary to sear them on the sides like that. Those would be dry as hell. 5 minutes top and bottom sear, finish in the oven, baste with a stock/jus every now and then.

    Or preheat your glass pan, or use a dark glass pan instead of clear, or a smaller deeper glass pan and longer cook time. It's all about the speed of heating vs cook time. Thinner metal pans heat faster, but retain heat less (dissipate faster). I don't like the metallic taste of raw metal, or the leaching toxins of non-stick, so there are ways to get a more cake like brownie in glass if that's your preferred texture. Different recipes (dry-wet-leavening ratios) can take care of this as well. Baking is science, cooking is art.

    The texture will be different. There's no "better" or "worse", it's up to you to decide which one you want. The one on the left will be like cake, and the one on the right will be more sticky and creamy, which is the one I prefer. I've prepared both and I didn't know the different result depended on the tray (pan).

    Now, sure, you can argue that cooking isn’t easy. Skill is only part of the equation, and lacking even that can seem like a hurdle that’s impossible to overcome.

    All around food expert and historian Rachel Laudan elaborated on why cooking is hard in a blog post of hers. Besides actual skill, there’s also things like supermarket inventory, food handling and storage, mental capacity for recipes, basic knowledge of chemistry, alchemy, and any other -y to even begin to understand how to turn something raw into something edible.

    They make food safe "tackle boxes", we have one of them (expensive, for what it is, but it was a gift, lol). They also make similar boxes out of food safe plastics as well (generally #s 2, 4 and 5 are food safe). Just check the underside where the recycle icon is. If it doesn't have one, don't buy it because it's better to be cautious. We bought a few of them at walmart that were under $6.

    This is one of those recently popular "hacks" that looks cool but is not practical. The pork rinds, fritos and almonds are going to get soggy from the moist stuff. Same for other versions I've seen that included crackers. The olives likely still contain enough juice to run into other compartments if not held level. The whole thing takes up more space / is harder to put in a cooler. IF the plastic if food safe, this might be sort of useful if you are keeping it level and taking it straight to the potluck or outdoor patio BBQ or something like that.

    If you were to consciously consider all the fine detail that goes into cooking, it’s not just throwing peas into a pan and calling it a day. No, Laudan estimates even after decades of cooking, it still takes her at least 8 to 12—at least—hours per week to make cooking happen at all. In context, that’s a work day and a half. Throw in planning, shopping and all that jazz and you got yourself a part time job as a domestic chef without even interviewing for the position.

    I feel vindicated. I am not the only one! You can actually reuse a lot of containers we would normally throw away. I have a washed out sriracha for this purpose but I also have an old dollar store hand soap pump container for my dish soap. I buy the huge container of Dawn from Costco but it's so big it is a PITA. So I just periodically refill the smaller pump container and that works out pretty well. You can do the same thing in the shower if you don't want the 40 ounce size of shampoo / body soap falling down on your toes.

    Be careful. Oil breaks down some plastics. That’s why cheaper oils are sold in plastic bottles but the plastic is thicker. Good oil is sold in glass that is dark so it doesn’t go rancid from light exposure. I learned this second hand and didn’t verify the info but makes sense.

    Agree that Bramley is a tip-top fruit for an apple pie. Granny Smith is pretty good too, as a much sharper apple. There are dessert apples on here that would make a dreadful apple pie and some excellent cooking apples missing (Lord Derby is lovely as is Scotch Dumpling). Probably the varieties vary per country though.

    I do feel bad for people who haven't experienced Norwegian autumn apples. Generally apples grown in warm climates are very sugary tasting, and the apples that grow in the north are more explosive in flavour. I don't really eat apples much in the summer half of the year because they disappoint me. T_T

    But, practice makes perfect. Cooking is no exception. If you can get across the initial hurdle of deciding what you want to cook and invest yourself in it, you’ll get progressively better.

    Nobody is born a master at it. Blogger Christine Amorose Merrill points that out in a piece of hers on how practice makes perfect in the kitchen. One thing she always hears from her grandmother, who in her eyes is the epitome of cooking, is “I’ve had years to practice. Of course I’m going to be better at it than you!” It takes time, patience and reflection to make it work. No other way about it.

    Cooked ham freezes well, so if there are leftovers, you could chop it into small cubes and freeze it. Then you can use it bit by bit in omelette or fritatta, or risotto, or add to soup. In our house, it's mostly used up in hash browns or rosti (like a fried or baked potato fritter made from grated spuds with onion)

    And you’d be surprised how far simple culinary tricks can take you. You don’t need dimensional thinking or the fingers of a god to perfectly line a tray with baking paper. You don’t need to cut yourself, nor be meticulous with how you cut an onion. Heck, you don’t even need to cut open a butter packet at a restaurant and use anything other than a fork and fingers to spread it on bread as an appetizer or side-whatever-those-things-are-called. Learn that and you’re golden!

    Back when we had full fat milk delivered, we used to skim the cream off the top and put it in a jam jar and make butter. That was of course if the blue tits hadn't got to the milk bottles first. The little foil lids stood no chance against a sharp little beak.

    And don’t forget to rinse it very well before storing so it won’t go rancid and smell awful.

    Or take your cream and pour it in a pan and stick it in a warm 120 oven overnight and have clotted cream. Lot cheaper than buying a jar of good English clotted cream.

    Can also use a stand mixer or hand mixer. Make sure to wash the butter to try to get rid of the excess buttermilk in the butter and store in a proper crock or butter keeper or wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil in the fridge. Light will make it go rancid way faster, same as not washing it. Unless ya like sour butter.

As for not finishing, you go to Costco or BJ's you can get a mega bag of chips with salsa. This will keep them from tasting like roasted cardboard if they are left out open on a summer day.

    And if you’re thinking, “Well, you still have to know what you're doing to make sure your food stays healthy and stuff," you’d be right. To some degree.

    The way you cook does have an impact on the nutrients you’ll be getting in the end, but it’s also not rocket science. Lay off the salt and use herbs and spices instead, eat fruits and vegetables, focus on the least-processed foods or foods that you know the origins of and you should be more than fine. Heck, salads don’t even need any cooking—just chopping and ingesting. And that is healthy!

    Ah, but it originates from medieval Britain, and was adapted from posset, a drink made by curdling hot milk with wine or beer! Ingredients are: Eggs, caster sugar, whole milk, double cream, rum/brandy or a mixture of the two, depending on your preference and freshly grated nutmeg, to taste.

    It's "lost bread" because it works best with stale bread. If one uses very stale, hard bread, and lets the mixture (eggnog or otherwise) sit on it overnight, one can acheive a custard-like consistency. yum!

    My favorite kind of French toast is stuffed French toast. First you coat the bread in the egg wash and then in crushed Frosted Flakes. Grill until golden and crisp. For the filling you mix cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Once the bread is golden brown make a sandwich with the cream cheese mixture in the middle. It is delicious!

    Oh, please - sourdough bread cut about 3/4 inch thick. 1 egg per 2 slices, plus 1. About half a cup of creamer (your flavor of choice, we use French Vanilla) about a TBLS of grated orange peel (slice the orange to eat) and a tsp of freshly grated nutmeg. Let it soak for at least 10 minutes and then turn over for another 10. You want the "custard" to really soak into the bread. Trust me, you can always count on a chubby chef.

To me, cilantro is a heavenly aromatic garnish that elevates Mexican food and I love to bury my nose in a fresh bunch. But I also get that to my mother, cilantro is a baffling weed that smells and tastes disgusting.

    Another thing that helps in this case is understanding food. Rob Lapham, an award winning registered health viking, dedicates much of his time debunking food myths, giving out helpful food advice, and straight up educating folks on the things that actually matter when it comes to staying healthy.

    One of the key takeaways that Lapham has emphasized time and time again is the idea of being able to eat pretty much anything that is considered food, as long as it is in moderation.

I make it the day before so the flavors have a chance to blend. Lightly toast English muffins, pile on the tuna salad and top with either Swiss or Provolone cheese and put under the broiler until bubbly. Try it - you'll thank me.

    With that said, yes, it’s perfectly fine to eat frozen dinners, it’s perfectly fine to eat McDonald’s or KFC, it’s perfectly fine to put mayonnaise on bread. There are entire sets of laws and regulations that apply to the food industry that make sure what you eat doesn’t kill you. Even if the food does have known carcinogens or stuff you’d otherwise consider poisonous, as long as they are within legal limits, within a chemical context, and it’s being consumed in moderation, the food is for all intents and purposes good.

    Depends. Peels don't make for very creamy mashed taters, and tend not to be great in soups. And roasted potato peels make a nice appetizer while you are waiting for the meal to finish cooking, if you get the started right away.

    Finally a post that is a useful TIL for me. I am a good cook (according to some) and have made and canned many large pots of soup. But while I know bone / marrow adds flavor I had never heard of roasting them first. This is just my ignorance apparently as opposed to being something new but I still appreciate learning something new to me.

    If it’s beef/veal bones, you gotta roast them for a whole lot longer at a slightly higher temp. Like 425 for an hour and a half to two hours. And then deglaze with a good red wine. Then add to the stock pot with veggies, herbs, and water. Simmer for several hours

    In America, Buffalo sauce is just a hot sauce with butter. Traditionally, "Frank's Red Hot", hot sauce mixed with equal amounts of melted butter. Sometimes, a pinch of cayenne pepper also. Then, toss this over fried chicken wings. (NOT Tabasco sauce straight from the bottle OR mixed with butter!) Hope this LONG answer helps ; )~

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    I'm guessing the pasta shape has an effect. I used to think the various shapes were just for variety, but no, it has profound effects on how it tastes/feels. Shapes not only affect how much sauce is held, but also how much pasta is in a bite and how chewy it is. That said, I don't know that this chart takes that into account. But I *do* know that there's a good reason that fettucine al fredo is not made with spaghetti or rotini, etc.

    Creamy yogurt is amazing with waffles. Also, getting cast iron flat waffle maker was great decision, it doesn't make that fluffy kind you see everywhere, but thin, crispy kind, similar to waffle ice cream cone. Grab them with some yogurt, cinnamon sugar and fresh fruits (strawberries, blueberries, pear, apples, bananas,... whatever you like, but I doubt that melon would be good) and there are very few desserts that can compete with this.

    For clarification, I use a springform pan and wrap the bottom half in tin foil... then put it on a cookie sheet with a bit of a lip on the edge... then I pour a cup of water into the pan. It doesn't take much water, but it works wonders. Also, if you want to prevent cracks, don't take it out of the oven when it's done cooking. Just turn off the oven and open the oven door halfway so that it has time to transition to room temp (I usually take it out after 10-15 min). No cracks.

    You;'d need to leave them in for a lot longer, like a couple of minutes, to cause any problems. 10 seconds will only barely warm it, but should be enough to help with the juice, particularly if it's been stored in the fridge.

    2 years ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Simon & Garfunkel blend (fantastic for poultry). Intended to be stored so ingredients are dried, not fresh. If using fresh, cut quantities of that fresh one in half: 2 Tbsp dried sage, 1 tbsp each of parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, bay leaf (crushed or powdered), black pepper, sugar. 1/2 tsp salt so you can use as much as you want without over-salting the bird. And if you have any culinary lavender add a little of it too. Ideally grind it all up together, but I'm often too lazy to do that. As is, it tends to settle so be sure to shake well before and even while using.

    If the bands are going to damage the cookie you can use a flat strip of baking paper, or folded foil overlap the ends, and tape together. Also, assemble your house, then refrigerate to set the icing holding it together, then decorate. The chilled gingerbread will also set your decorative icing faster, and it will run less. If you decorated your pieces first, and now want to assemble them without damaging the icing: refrigerate pieces to set your icing, assemble walls around internal cardboard braces, refrigerate to set, remove bracing, and add the roof.

    Omg also an old Italian recipe I’ll share, it’s also in a Margaret foulton cook book, it’s a savoury sauce, with a hint of sweetness, I do it with duck or chicken (peep doesn’t and will never know but duck is better) Make a roux (maybe 2tblsp flour worth for a whole bird) add beef stock (500-600mls) and orang juice while stirring (I use about 4-5 supermarket sized ones) make it thick, you can add onions or shallots etc, I usually pour over a crispy chicken to bake 45mins at 180.c - if you like that 70s presentation, add sliced orange pieces on top of the corners of casserole pan - it’s like duck al a orange but it’s not, kinda like mousakka and lasagne are similar.

    My favourite melon joke was from when I was a kid watching Saved by the Bell. It's the episode where Screech and Lisa want to get married. Their principal Mr Belding is trying to talk Screech out of it and goes: "But Screech! You can't elope!" and Screech goes "Don't call me a cantaloupe, you melon head!" It still makes me giggle even today.

    Bacon does not come out looking like that after Sous Vide. You still need to bake or fry it after to get the crispiness.

    HTakeover

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Exactly... meat temp is right and fat renders, but you get no browning or crisping of any kind. That takes a quick trip to the pan or torch. No Maillard reaction with sous vide alone.

    I microwave bacon quite often and it does actually work and comes out crispy. Saves so much time and mess. Just put the slices between paper towels and microwave on high for around a minute per slice. (depending on your microwave you may need more or less time).

    It's great when you need to prep a lot of bacon prior to an event so you can finish it on the spot. I'll do that with camping where I need to cook 15 lbs of bacon at the event. Cooking from cold in that case means either someone is only doing bacon, pre-cooking it all and reheating, or do this, then do a quick trip on the griddle. In that case, pre-cooking is totally fine, but sous vide & griddle it, and the results are much better. Plus you can infuse some flavor into the bacon while it sous vides.

    Heat transference/distribution. If you have a thin pan to cook sauce in, it will cook faster and hotter thus a high potential for burning. Adding additional thickness means it’ll take longer to heat =less potential for burnt sauce

    Baking powder already contains baking soda (but yes, more can be added for some uses) and is not the same in all countries. Check its ingredients before use if you're buying it in France or Germany, for example.

    It's a boxed meal kit that comes with some form of pasta and powdered sauce. You add ground meat and milk, for a quick prep meal. It's even a serving suggestion on the box, to add vegetables. I've seen people claim to have "invented" this hack...when it's on the box.

    Don't know that I want to. Anyone tried it and want to convince me?

    Balsamic vinegar is good to use. Also works well with strawberries. Not a lot, literally a drizzle.

    Try it with a sprinkle of salt first, before you go for expert level. I'm not really a fan of salt on watermelon, but salt of fresh pinapple is a definate win.

    Similar to just salting the watermelon.

    I used to cut the corners in a round shape so there are no pointy plastic corners hurting the corners of my mouth.

    A waste of bread letting it burn like that.

    Or, if you're like me and you don't want to waste that much bread, put some oil across the grill before heating. The parts that smoke are your hot spots. You can also use flour, dust it across your grill and the parts that brown first are your hot spots

    And it is not common sense that the centre is the hottest spot? The area with the burning and glowing coal?

    Or just use your hand. Hold it about 8 inches over the grill.

    Then, eat 6 pieces of toast ( your choice of how), and throw 9 away!

    There are only three slices of that toast I wouldn't eat . (counting from top left, 8 (middle), 9 (middle right) and 11 (barely even toast)). All the rest, bring me butter and marmalade and keep your stupid grill.

    Is it just me or does that poultry not look properly cooked.

    I think it's just an impression. It looks like thin lunch meat turkey that's dried up a bit and got that shiny look

    I mean, Salmonella is a heck of a way to lose weight.

    I always substitute thinly sliced corgette for every second layer of pasta. It gives you a moist non-gluggy lasagna, with enough pasta to hold it together.
