comment What is a good technique to make Iced Tea?
@Lorenzo, you need to stop using words like "zealot" here and trying to explain that cooking is a subjective field. We know. That doesn't mean anything goes here. And as you can see, the system works; the question was expanded/improved and the community reopened it, with the result being a question that's much less ambiguous and more appropriate for SE. Please try to keep the discussion civil; the debate here has been rational and amicable up until this point.

comment Is there a technique to making Caramel in a Microwave oven?
Note that I did say "a few", not "everyone" or even "most." I maintain that it's way safer to do this on the stovetop, but I guess you've proven that the microwave is an option.

comment Is there a technique to making Caramel in a Microwave oven?
Not all that surprisingly, if you read the reviews you'll see that a few people ended up with burnt sugar. I guess if you're really careful and stir very frequently and are mindful of the power of your microwave, it could work...

I could swear I've seen this identical title before, but I can't seem to find the duplicate. Anyone?

comment Dutch Oven alternative for campfire?
I don't have an alternative, but I definitely wouldn't recommend using aluminum pans. Aluminum has a relatively low melting temperature and even though it'll survive a 350° oven, it probably would not survive an open flame.

comment how to grind pistachio nuts so that they stay dry
This makes me wonder if it would actually be useful to freeze them. Pretty much anything frozen will "shatter" rather than "crush", which is exactly what's desired here. But I haven't tried it...

Removed the "rule of thumb" business - this is really just asking for tips and maybe basic guidelines, not rules

comment What is the best use for my unused pressure cooker?
Titles with the word "best" generally imply a subjective question or poll. Converted to Community Wiki.
