Want cookies to come out crispy? Then don’t bake them with your lasagna! Steam + aromatics = chewy garlic biscuits. A pro baker on MetaFilter explains why (and how cookies were literally the original oven test bakes).

Food thought:
Peach cobbler. It's to me an odd situation. I kinda like the overall flavor usually, but the texture of the peach & how un-peachy the overall dish tastes is a turnoff?
Like... I love apple pie because even after the sugar & the cooking the resulting fruit is still like "MOTHAFUCKER YOU EATING APPLES!"
Peach cobbler in contrast seems to... dull the peaches? They feel rubbery & unnatural to me?
The best peach flavor in a dish I ever had was when someone on sample day at a grocery store was topping avocado toast with straight-up slices of fresh crisp peach.
Is there a way to make peach cobbler that preserves more of the essence of PEACH?

Is it OK for recipe writers to assume that readers own a stand mixer? Fascinating arguments based on food science and the history of technology:
> "When I talk about how important a stand mixer is for baking, folks usually respond with something along the lines of, 'Well, then how did they do it in the olden days?' And the answer is, they didn't."

Many skewers of grilled meat on parchment paper on a tray
3 skewers of meat reddish and with a few black char marks on grill grates over red embers and charcoal
Two pics - of skewers of yellow paste covered thin folded slices of meat on an oval platter on a wooden table outdoors, and another with an overhead shot of the skewers on a circular charcoal grill

Rescued some cast iron pans, here's the before and after for rust removal.
Turns out the "old timers" trick of scrubbing salt on it using the cut end of a potato really works! (It also worked using salt and a paper towel, but the potato was actually easier to hold)
Still needs some work but it's a huge improvement.

This is your seasonal reminder that all acorns are edible. Many acorns require leaching. For instructions on how to leach acorns and recipe ideas, see the thread below.
