Every time we whip up some egg whites into a white, light, and airy foam we’re a little amazed. It’s pretty special how such a simple ingredient can hold on to so much air! Even more special, when you consider…
We love kitchen tools that 1) don’t take up too much space and 2) have a good chunk of science to them that we can discuss in detail here on the website. We’re fans of our InstantPot (aka pressure cooker)…
Honeycomb definitely is one of the more theatrical candies to make. Once you add that baking soda to the boiling hot sugar, the fizzing and puffing are sure to impress your viewers. Once the show is over and your honeycomb…
When visiting friends who regularly brew their own beer, they told us about this great sugar syrup they had made to add to their beer. It was a dark brown, almost coffee/chocolatey, syrup with a great flavor. They had made…
Crispy and light brown on the outside, soft and cooked on the inside. Strong enough to hold its shape when held up straight and definitely not oily or soggy. Sounds like quite a good french fry (or chip, as the…

Every few years there seems to be a new gadget on the market that everyone raves about. A few years back the InstantPot seemed to be everywhere, and of course, don’t forget about sous vide cooking. We tend to be…
It’s impossible to count all the different types of breads made in this world. There are simply too many. It’s even more impossible to count all the different iterations within one bread. Everyone makes their baguettes, naans, challah, or tortillas…
Before ever trying to make naan ourselves, we bought a bag of pre-packed naan, which was immediately also our last time we did so. It was a true disappointment. They were dense and slightly tough, a far cry from the…
