What should I look for in a cooking pan for Risotto? This is the best thing for risotto. It provides a nice steady heat with minimal fussing. Also perfect for gumbo and stews. The Le Creuset french oven pot is the "gold standard." |

Why do so many desert/biscuit recipes have salt in them? Yes, salt (in the right amount) does tweak other flavors. Chocolate is another ingredient that is really helped by salt-- that is why chocolate-covered pretzels are so delicious. |

Does water that's been left to sit and then reboiled taste different from fresh water boiled once? The effect of losing dissolved oxygen is also well known in tea-making. Thoroughly boiling the water very quickly extracts the dissolved oxygen. For this reason, enthusiasts of green and oolong tea never bring the water to a full, rolling boil in the kettle. Instead, they wait until the water in the kettle makes a distinctive rumbling sound prior to actually boiling. |

Why do drinks drunk from a glass instead of a bottle taste differently? I think you mean to ask: "Why does cola sipped from a glass taste better than cola sipped from a can or bottle?" |
