Some instructions I've seen call for hot water.

What about the food safety concerns of reconstituting mushrooms in cold water?

comment Why do my onions keep burning?
Do you have a reference for this claim? My intuition tells me that if you remove the moisture then the food will burn more quickly.

I don't think it's appropriate to advise cooking without olive oil. Olive oil isn't suitable for high-temperature frying but works very well as the cooking oil of choice for many dishes.

comment How can I make matzo meal and matzo farfel?
I just crushed my own matzo farfel; and some notes for others: I got one cup of useful pieces from 2 1/2 pieces of matzo. I was able to extract most of the crumbs that were too fine by the fact that they settled to the bottom of the bowl and carefully removing the larger pieces. I put aside the crumbs for recipes that call for matzo meal.

comment Do specialty cheese-cutting tools have specific advantages over an ordinary knife?
Oh okay, thanks--so it is pretty much like the old Ginsu or any cheap laser-cut knife. I've got some I use when I don't feel like hand washing a knife just to cut something small. I'll give it a shot with cheese and see what happens.

Joe, do you mind attaching a photo of your favorite knife (or even a hyperlink to imugr?)

comment Is free-range veal available in the US?
@SAJ14SAJ interesting discussion. I agree that questions like "Where can I buy XXX cheaply?" don't add to the site. I changed the title to reflect what I really wanted to know; Is free range veal widely or otherwise for purchase in the US?
