How do I cook a frozen hamburger in the microwave? You can thaw them using your microwave's defrost setting, but I wouldn't personally cook them in one. Wouldn't be very tasty... |

What's a good nondairy substitute for parmesan/grana padano as a salad-topper? It's likely a casein allergy, considering the gluten involvement too. |

What are the advantages of using agave sweetener instead of sugar? 92% is "as high as". Wiki links to several sources ranging between 56% and 92%, so it probably varies from brand to brand. If you're counting calories, it'd probably be worth reducing the amount of agave you use beyond their recommended 3:4 ratio and see how it affects taste. |

How do you cook grass-fed beef so it is not tough? Yeah, I've never had to do anything special to the grass-fed organic beef Wegmans (high-end grocery chain) carries. Just as tender, if not more, than their regular steaks. |

What can be substituted for vinegar in sushi rice? @ThinkingCook Yeah, the linked source is sketchy (and selling products). Before replying I Googled and found this more reputable link at WebMD which at least verified the vinegar bit: webmd.com/allergies/guide/mold-allergy |

Can I make Crème Brûlée using a flambé? I'd guess there was already a crust under the liquor when they brought it out. |

Can I make Crème Brûlée using a flambé? I'd be surprised if it gave you a decent crust, but it'd be very impressive to do a little flambéing on top of an extant crust. |

What does “crowding mushrooms” mean? Bingo. Applies to much more than mushrooms - pan searing meats, veggies, etc. |
