Need help identifying a kitchen tool, with a wooden handle, and a cylindrical cutter Yes, it's the same one as in the photo. |

Need help identifying a kitchen tool, with a wooden handle, and a cylindrical cutter That's the closest thing we could find so far too, except that most butter curlers found via google search tend to be less cylindrical and more more open, and thinner like the one at the wikipedia link you gave. We tried it too, and it didn't give good results trying to curl the butter. ;-) |

How should I clean, or care for, a banneton (brotform, proofing basket)? Now that this answer was edited, it's an interesting approach. Assuming that people have room in their freezers. Thanks for the suggestions. |

What does it mean to 'salt' a steak prior to frying? When my father makes a prime rib, he's started to use the "encrust it in rock salt" method of cooking it. I will tell you that it does not make the prime rib overly salty. I was personally shocked that it didn't when I saw how much salt went onto it. You can get an idea from this video |

How can I intensify the orange flavour in orange cake? Microplanes are great. I'm sorry I waited so long to actually get one. They come in many shapes and sizes and varying degrees of courseness in the shavings that they produce. |

Adding pasta to soup I also don't like the way that cooking pasta in the soup makes for a starchier soup. |

Adding pasta to soup I agree with this. I cook the pasta separate, and then combine the pasta and the soup in the bowl. The pasta remains al dente and the soup doesn't get starchy. Left over soup and pasta goes in the fridge separately. For lunch the next day, I can still head up a portion of the soup and at the last minute, add the pasta and I still get al dente pasta in my soup. |

Adding pasta to soup The only problem with this method is that if you mistake the amount of soup that you'll need, and you cook the pasta in that separate pan of soup, then you either end up with leftover soup with the pasta in it, or if somebody wants seconds, and you're out of the soup with cooked pasta, then you have no easy recourse, unless they want to wait 8-10 minutes while you make another batch with pasta. |

How to salt and roast pistachios? Oh, absolutely. I wasn't arguing with that point about the oils. Just adding that they seem to get crunchier as they cool a bit. And I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to add additional double entendres to this thread. Let me click Add Comment before I do. |

How to salt and roast pistachios? In my limited experience, and I'm roasting these to be eaten whole, I want to let them cool a bit after roasting. When their still hot or too warm, I find that they don't have the crunch either. Letting them cool let's them get to that nice crunchy state. |

How to salt and roast pistachios? That's what I've done in the past, but honestly thought that I might be doing a disservice to the nuts by soaking them in water. But it seemed to be the best way to get salt in and around the nut, with the partially opened shells without putting too much salt on them. Thanks for confirming with your tip. |
