comment Which vegetables to use for stock?
I would disagree with the OP in that I wouldnt add potato peel as it can make your stock very cloudy - though I suspect it depends on the type of potato ( I guess floury types would be worse)

You can also use the shell to make fish stock. Which in turn could be used in e.g. Fish based risotto

comment What are the benefits of using natural casing when making sausages?
I definitely find that non natural casings tend to produce a more rubbery sausage.

comment How should I poach an egg?
I believe that adding salt to the water causes a reaction in the egg proteins making them more rubbery.

comment How to make pizza crust thin and elastic at the same time?
I actually experimented last night - my method was to use a floured plate (not oiled as I first tried) and build the pizza on that, which was easy to transfer to the hot stone. Once it is cooked a wooden spatula can get it off easily. Thanks for the tip though
