No mess! Aside from needing to thoroughly clean the ketchup bottle after each use and the loss of however much batter remains caked to the sides after you use it, I guess.



Or you could spend five dollars and buy a new pair?



Honestly, I'm not even sure what's being hacked here.

It's so you can fit two bowls in a microwave, although it doesn't look like that's a problem in that photo.

I bet it's a great way to have one person eat hot food while the other eats lukewarm food.

You know, you can clean the ketchup bottle with plenty of water and this:


LIFEHACK!!!

(They sell pancake mix in a bottle FYI, and you also lose batter when you use a bowl to mix ;) The thing, I've been tempted of using this. It's also used by the people who make "artistic pancakes".)

I understand using it for artistic pancakes, but a spatula cleans out the pancake bowl just fine. :colbert:

Wandle Cax posted:

Have you genuinely not heard of the concept of a cooking wine? Or even the fact that recipes need a specific type of wine you may not care to drink that evening? Why would you drink the wine you have been cooking with? Also the very idea that you would just pour whatever wine you were drinking into whatever you happen to be cooking is laughable. Maybe you should "fix your poo poo" or whatever? i don't know I give up

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:

Haha so now your argument is what, that "Cooking Wine" is a varietal? I sincerely hope you're like nineteen. I'd be put off by how smug you are if it wasn't so goddamn cute. Please never serve adults your cooking.

stratdax posted:

What the hell are you even talking about. There absolutely is Cooking Wine, as opposed to just wine you drink. Cooking Wine is usually crappy, which is why you cook with it (mixed with herbs and tomatoes or whatever) instead of drinking it. Wandle Cax is absolutely correct when he says you don't drink Cooking Wine (because it's poo poo to drink, you see). What the hell!

Brontosaurus knows perfectly well that it exists. He's saying that "cooking wine" isn't a variety of drinking wine like Merlot or Pinot Noir, since Wandle doesn't seem to understand you can cook with and also drink from the same bottle.

Also, the word "wine" has lost all meaning to me now, thanks.

I don't get how keeping your ice cream in a ziplock bag is supposed to keep it soft.

Robzor McFabulous posted:

From a couple of pages back, but this actually does work. Kept a tub of ice cream in a plastic grocery bag in our freezer for a couple of days, was soft enough to scoop easily.

You can just put cling film over the ice cream before you lid it and put it back in the freezer. It keeps my Haagen-Dasz spoonable and that stuff usually freezes rock solid.

I was tested on parallel parking for my NJ license a couple years back. That said their test was in a closed lot with orange cones denoting the parking spot, and the instructor told me, step by step, to line up the cones in my mirror, turn the tires, back up until I no longer see the cones, etc etc. Or something like that. Basically it was set up in a really weird way that will never actually occur in the real world. :v:
