Did you know that temperatures in many ovens can fluctuate wildly? If you're not baking a fancy treat, it may not matter much. But in baking desserts, breads, etc., it can sometimes be a deal break...

DietID_TeamDietitians i think people just need to learn how to smell milk - e.g. get to know their food a bit more.

annefood Yes this is so ridiculous. @unconventionalbaker @JenniferEmilson and I were talking about this last week, and I suggested that there either needs to be a federal regulation as this article...

-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.

sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works

lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
Fresh cilantro & avocado are two of my kitchen staples. What are some of yours?

akhilg2002 My wife is trying to get us to grow plants at home, so now our Basil plant is a source of extra seasoning on half of our home cooking!

DietID_TeamDietitians Ginger!! I put it in literally everything from soups, to tea, to fish. I don't have an ice cream maker but if I did, I'd probably make ginger ice cream too ;)

marynfulton2 Mmm two of my favorites. What would we do without spices and herbs?! They make life better ๐
