LPT – Cooking Edition. Whenever you’re using wheat flour as thickener for a roux or gravy, give precooked and dried flour a try. The sub rules prohibit me from promoting any products so I can’t say the most common brand name, but it comes in a blue cardboard Parmesan “cheese” style can and rhymes with “Mondra”. Regardless, it’s basically just white flour that has been precooked and dried. What’s so great about it is that it mixes into liquids very easily without the clump…

LPT: How to revive an old/dried out water-based marker easily Many water-based markers can still work years after they’ve dried out. It’s usually just the water that has evaporated, but most of the ink can be saved and used once the marker has been revived. Run the tip of the marker under some lukewarm water. Put the cap on it and store it upright, cap down. Give it a few hours to a day. Sometimes it’s fas…

Eos chapstick dried out my lips? Hey guys! I recently bought some eos chapstick as opposed to my usual aquaphore stick because, frankly, I was being cheap lol. After a few days of use I feel like my lips have gotten worse and worse, they even split at one point. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it crappy chapstick? Am I having an allergic reaction to it? Either way I’m defi…

Help! Lens has weird dried substance inside. Refund or partial refund? I just bought this lens (lumix 14-140mm 3.5-5.6 mark ii) on eBay and the seller didn’t disclose that this item had this residue inside of the lens. He is offering a partial refund or a full refund because he missed this during inspection. I bought the item for roughly $240. Should I take the refund or partial refund? If partial refund, how much…

How (and When) to Use Fresh Vs. Dried Herbs in Your Cooking Salt and (good) pepper can get you pretty far in your cooking, but true grown-up cooks use an arsenal of herbs and spices to flavor their meals. How you stock your spice cabinet will depend on the type of cuisine you want to enjoy—a “basic” Anglo spice cabinet is quite different from an East Asian one—but knowing how… Read more…

LPT: dried super glue on your hands? A scrubby kitchen sponge will take care of it in under 10 seconds. Got a comical amount on my fingers today fixing a giant glass Christmas decoration. 3 fingertips were totally covered. I rubbed petroleum jelly on it all, then took a kitchen sponge to it hoping I’d do something. It sands it off in under 10 seconds. As long as it’s somewhat dried. Wet or half cured, nothing happens. Dry? Say bye bye glue! It’s j…
