Ice cream technique - what should I mix into what? @jefromi - it was a recipe that was copied down in a rush. It's not so correct. I was just wondering what would be the best technique |

To freeze or not to freeze? I have frozen lasagna often with no soggy effect... Although I usually do undercook it slightly when planning to freeze |

What can I use as an alternative sweetener for smoothies? @Jefromi - at what point is fruit the sweetest? The riper it is, the sweeter...? |

What can I use as an alternative sweetener for smoothies? I generally make a milk-based smoothie, so I guess it's more like a milkshake. So there's no juice. Just milk and fruit, some frozen and some fresh (and occasionally a bit of plain yoghurt). I have occasionally added a bit of juice and it gave me the desired taste... but I've been told that it's very similar to adding sugar :) I did try the pinch of salt trick, though, and it really made a difference! :) thank you |

How can I clean my peeler? @nice - thanks. I rinse it, but I imagine it's the drying part that's the problem... |

Can I freeze soup in a pot? @derobert - just for transport. I was cooking up a soup that needed to be taken in a car for 2 1/2-3 hours, and then heated and served that night. So I froze it overnight to minimize spillage and spoilage :) (Other option would've been to separate into containers, freeze, and then bring the containers + the original pot along. This just seemed easier.) |

Non-alcoholic substitute for brandy? People seem to have taken this question as a statement that I specifically don't have alcohol and don't want alcohol in the recipe. This is not the case. I just happened not to have any alcohol on hand when I was baking the cake. (And as a follow-up, I ended up skipping the brandy entirely and the cake was delicious :) ) |

What does “spooned and leveled” mean? So the term spooned is used to tell you not to scoop - but there would be no difference if I "spooned" it in or "poured" it in? |

How can I imitate a coffee yoghurt? thanks! not sure why I didn't think of this... just dissolving the coffee and sugar in a bit of hot water before adding it to the yoghurt makes a big difference! |

What is the best way to open a tightly fitted lid of a jar? Thought of this, but wasn't planning on emptying the whole thing... needed the leftovers to be properly sealed afterwards. Thanks for the suggestion though! |

What is the best way to open a tightly fitted lid of a jar? @Byron - yeah, that's why I've never asked this before :) But he wasn't home, and by the time he got home it was supposed to be ready... |
