What's the minimum amount of oil for making popcorn? Maybe it depends on how much popcorn you make. I usually do 1/3 or 1/2 cup. Never been greasy. |

How does one tell if a jalapeno is spicy? @MargeGunderson... LOL... That is kinda gross! I think the striations are genetic, so not all jalapeños get them. I'm not 100% sure about the age but it makes a certain amount of sense that they would get more as they grow larger. |

How does one tell if a jalapeno is spicy? I've heard that the striations actually have nothing to do with heat level but how fast the pepper grows. The striations are like stretch marks. |

How to test that a knife is sharp enough? I think if I attempted that, I would shave off some skin too, knowing how clumsy I am. |

Stockpot double as beer brewing pot Yes, but having a brew pot is TONS better if you want to use full grain. I've brewed from a 5 gal stock pot for a long time and would never go back to it no that I have a brew pot with filtered spigot. |

Standardized symbols for marking food allergies / warnings? Oh OK, I see what you mean. I could see using a v for vegan, but it could also mean vegetarian. I think people could get nitpicking with it.... Like tree nut free vs just nut free, or refined sugar free, etc. I actually know of a vegan ice cream shop that has a menu with a chile pepper for hot, a nut for includes nuts, a pictograph of wheat for contains gluten, etc. then you have to be clear that the symbol = has it, or with a X doesn't have it so its not ambiguous. |

Standardized symbols for marking food allergies / warnings? I'm not going to post an official reply, but as a vegan, I find I always have to read the ingredients, because there really aren't many labels, and they aren't used consistently. I read labels until I am comfortable with the food item, then i feel OK skipping it. |

What's the minimum amount of oil for making popcorn? @TFD, 1-2 tbsp does coat the bottom of my pan, which is large and shallow. Only one I've got. |
