What cooking methods prevent the gaseous side effect of sunchokes? Would Beano or something similar work? I recently had a delicious sunchoke puree, with no noticeable side effects. |

Looking for a way to make a cone shaped cookie I would definitely start with a Pizelle recipe, and mold it around something like a shaker pint glass or frosting tip, depending on the size of your cookie. |

at what temperature should apple-choco pie be prepared? @SunishthaSingh - The effect of different fats on pie crusts could be a whole question, especially considering (plain yellow) butter vs. ghee vs. white butter. I'd expect a ghee-based crust to be flatter and denser than one made with butter. In your case, I'd find out which fat the recipe-writer uses, and then use only that. |

at what temperature should apple-choco pie be prepared? @Sunishtha Singh - If you have a second question, you should really post a second question rather than adding it here. You should also be more specific about why you want a substitution for the apples; "tastes better" is very subjective. FWIW - I think that apples + chocolate is a weird flavor combination, but your pastry recipe doesn't actually have much chocolate in it. Are you using butter or ghee? They're really quite different; ghee has less water and milk solids than butter. Using one or the other would make a big difference in your pie crust's texture. |

In a tomato sauce recipe, how can I cut the acidity? How much is a a little bit? Have you actually tried this? |

Is there a substitute for aluminum foil? Parchment paper will smoke and burn eventually; it's not good for long or high oven heat. |

Extraordinary Beef Gravy? This question would be better if you explained what made the gravy so delicious - was the flavor super-condensed or was there a lot of umami? |

How can I use a “cook for 3-4 hours” slow cooker recipe when I'm away for 8+ hours? Here are two recipes which go for about 4 hours on low: Chicken: myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-carrots-potatoes-50400000124262 and Pork: myrecipes.com/recipe/… . |

(Even right out of the fridge, slow cooker cooking seems to flirt with the danger zone.) Also I wonder if the standard electric light timers would be OK with cooking wattage. |

What to look for in a mandoline? My knife skills stink. Having a mandoline allows get to make better food in less time, which is a good thing. Also, it's about the only way I can get through more than one onion before the tears overcome me. (Sad, I know.) |

How do I get my chocolate chip cookies to turn out thick and soft? It would be nice if the OP expanded a little more on what they wanted with "thick and soft" cookies, but these can be quite different than chewy cookies. |

Is it worth checking beans for stones? FWIW, I encountered a stone in a burrito from a restaurant once. |

Storage of chocolates/candies in process (i.e. prior to cutting, dipping, etc)? Could you be more specific about what you need to store? Are we talking candied orange peel, pretzels or strawberries here? |
