Why Every Kitchen Needs a Thermometer (and Which One You Should Buy) In all my years writing about “food hacks,” there is one that I wish I could eradicate from the internet entirely. It’s the ol’ “Check How Done Your Steak Is by Touching Parts of Your Palm” trick, and it sucks, man. Thermometers are right there, and using one is the easiest, safest way to tell if your meat is “done.” Read more…

What is the one product that no matter how many versions of it you have you will buy more? For me it’s red lipstick – I have a neutral undertone so I can wear orange or blue reds, but I always feel like I’m trying to find “the” perfect shade. Currently I have 11 different red lipsticks and just found myself browsing more. I would love to add perfume to that line up, but that’s too expensive to act on, I do have an ever growing list of…

Skip the Knife Block and Buy These Knives Instead Knife blocks seem like a great idea at first. You assume there are a variety of useful knives in there, and you get a whole row of steak knives for one low price. You may not eat steak that often, and never with seven other people, but who can say “no” to so many matching knives? You, that’s who. That mass-produced… Read more…

How to Buy, Use, and Care for a Cast Iron Pan People love to get weird about cast iron pans. Some fear them, some fetishize them, but everyone has an opinion about them.

With a little know-how and a reasonable amount of care, it’s one of the easiest (and most rewarding) pans to cook… Read more…

How to Buy, Use, and Care for Stainless Steel Cookware Stainless steel cookware is the journeyman of the kitchen. It quietly and competently does its job, without the need for pampering (like cast iron) or any public drama (like Teflon-coated nonstick). If cast iron is a flashy Leo who lives for praise, stainless steel is an efficient, self-assured Capricorn. (I’m not… Read more…

How to Buy, Use, and Care for Nonstick Cookware Nonstick cookware makes cooking easier, but it doesn’t necessarily make cooking better. It doesn’t sear as well as cast iron or stainless steel, its finicky finish is at odds with both the dishwasher and metal utensils, and Teflon has a reputation for being less than safe. Read more…

LPT Request: How do I tell coworkers I won’t buy candy to keep in my office for them? I used to buy candy to keep in my office for my coworkers. However, I have not bought any since one person completely cleaned out the bowl I kept it in. I mean like took every last piece for themselves. Since then, I don’t buy anything. I have this one coworker who has repeatedly asked me when I’m going to have candy for her. I laugh it off and…

Is there some trick to booking longer rail routes in Europe? Do you usually need to buy multiple tickets? Hey guys, so I’m planning a ski trip to Zermatt this coming winter. I know that Geneva and Zurich would definitely be the more conventional options to flight into, however, the city I am in (Saint Louis) doesn’t have nonstop service to these places, and it’s been tricky to find decent flights. However, we do have direct flights to Frankfurt! I …

Buy a New Truck or Pay to Fix My Current One? My 2015 Ford F150 Lariat, which I bought brand new, has been paid off for a few years, and has 160,000 miles on it (it’s used for work). It’s been sounding funny but driving fine so I took it in to a certified Ford mechanic and they’re saying I need a whole new transmission among a few other minor things and the estimate is $9,800. This truck is…

How to go about determining if I can afford to buy land? And if I was to buy, how to fund it? Behind my house is a small lot that we do not own, however it fits perfectly into our back yard.

How much to offer to buy videos from influencers reviewing their favorite products for acne? (building a new social commerce platform) Hope the title made sense. We are building a social commerce platform for acne and we need nano or micro influencers to create videos reviewing products that were helpful for their acne-prone skin. I don’t really need huge influencers, just people based in the US who can show their face, speak engagingly and concisely about their acne journey an…
