Why do my fava beans turn out so unevenly? I’ve been attempting to cook fava beans, but the results are always hit or miss. Some beans come out perfectly tender, while others remain tough and hard. I soaked them in salted water with a bit of baking soda for 24 hours and then pressure cooked…

Ouch! I just burned two fingers on a hot pan that came out of the oven. I had gloves on one hand, but I completely forgot to grab a second pair. There’s some redness, and my skin feels tight. What should I do to treat it? Thanks!

Looking for chicken dish ideas! Hi everyone! My kid has requested chicken for his birthday dinner. He specifically wants a “saucy” chicken dish paired with baked mac n cheese and broccoli. I’m completely stumped on sauce ideas—he’s not a fan of BBQ, tomatoes, or strong vinegars. I plan to use boneless thighs and will likely…

I’ve been indulging in a lot of raw cookie dough lately, and now I’m feeling a bit anxious about it. I made some peanut butter cookie dough and stashed it in the freezer. While I loved the dough, the baked cookies didn’t appeal to me as much. So, for the last few days, I’ve been…

To put it to good use, I got a rice cooker and saved a bunch of recipes from Instagram that turn it into complete meals. Most of these recipes are Asian-inspired, but…

Concern about marinated chicken… A couple of days ago, I marinated some chicken to prepare shawarma, but I’ve read that raw chicken is only safe in the fridge for up to two days, according to the FDA. I stored it in an airtight container, and it looks and smells fine. Is it still safe to…

Lard and tallow – any ideas? I’m thinking about rendering some lard and tallow from leftover fat I have (check out my profile for more details), but I don’t typically cook or eat many fried foods. What are some other ways I can use lard and tallow besides frying?

Can I freeze cooked homemade wedges? I made fajitas and baked some potato wedges tonight, but I ended up making too many. Can I freeze the leftover wedges for later? I simply cut the potatoes into wedges, seasoned them with salt, pepper, and paprika, added a bit of oil, and air-fried them for 25 minutes.
