Substitution Question/Help Needed We absolutely love the spicy pork at our favorite Korean BBQ restaurant, and I found a recipe that uses white cooking wine in the marinade.

What’s the reasoning behind wrapping chicken in plastic before tenderizing it? I came across this discussion where people mentioned that it doesn’t introduce plastic into the food https://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/11vbd0x/is_pounding_chicken_using_plastic_wrap_safe/.

How to Keep Pizza Crust Soft After Baking? When my pizza comes out of the oven, the crust is perfectly soft and slightly crispy—just the way I love it. Unfortunately, it hardens into a tough baguette-like texture within just 5 to 10 minutes, leaving me with little time to enjoy it. I usually have to…

Chicken Legs Situation I picked up two packs of raw, seasoned chicken legs that were labeled with a sell-by date of March 7th. After bringing them home, I stored them in the fridge but completely forgot about them until March 12th. At that point, I put them in the freezer without opening the packages. Would…
