What differences are there between reconstituted dried mushrooms and fresh? I have had dried shiitakes my whole life and no one in my community has ever considered rehydrating them as reconstituting the mushrooms. When you say "reconstituting", it brings the image of molding mushroom powder paste back into mushroom shapes. Which is why I asked, for the sake of language, would you consider rehydrating smoked salmon "reconstituting" the salmon. |

Other uses for Korean salted shrimp Is Korean salted shrimp the same as dried+salted shrimp and powdered shrimp found in Hong Kong, Taiwan or Southeast-Asia? I know people sprinkle it onto their noodle soup or stir-fry, or even into their a'la BLT sandwich. Is it also popular in Japan? I have seen it with pink speckles - is that pepper-jacked shrimp bits or just the colour of the shrimp? |

pre-soaking tea in cold water prior to brewing Anyway, I just use the microwave. Microwaves should be more effective in jolting the flavours and compounds out of their hiding. Don't worry, they won't turn radioactive, nor would their chenical structure be conspiratorially affected by such microwaves. |

Raw meat or prepared food? Which lasts longer? - Short term Out of experience, sesame oil and oregano mixed into food has had significant impact on the preservation of the food. Unless you've had experience doing that, please do not downvote or comment on the efficacy. |

Using noodle cooking water to loosen sauce? I always reserve the pasta water for my dog. He loves it. Alternatively, boil dinner-left-overs soup with pasta water and mix it into his cheap dog food. He begs for more. |

Do you know of any good rectangular spice storage solutions? Have you ever heard of gladware? 5+lids for $2.50. I nave seen some as small as 3x3x2 in. More expensive ones have mechanism interlocking top to bottom. And you certainly could shake your spices in any of those. |

Can salt be inserted in unshelled peanuts? Do natural peanuts taste salty? I have eaten unsalted peanuts which we grew in our school farm. We boiled them into chicken soup. Without the chicken, the peanuts were bland, not salty. |
