A pot of golden broth simmering with chicken bones and vegetables
Kitchen Tips & How-Tos

Broth vs Stock: The Difference Nobody Explains Properly

Recipes say stock. The carton in the store says broth. People use the words as if they are the same thing, and then a recipe comes out thin and nobody knows why. There is a real difference and it comes down to one thing: bones. The Actual Difference Stock is made from bones. Simmered long — four to eight hours — so the collagen in the joints and connective tissue breaks down into gelatin. Stock is traditionally unseasoned. Broth is made from meat. Simmered shorter — one to two hours — and seasoned, because it was originally meant to be …

A pot of chili on the hob beside a jar of peanut butter
Kitchen Tips & How-Tos

I Added a Spoon of Peanut Butter to My Chili

A spoonful of peanut butter in a pot of chili. I know how it sounds. I resisted it for about two years after a friend from Texas told me. It is now the thing people ask me about, and none of them guess what it is. What It Does Three things at once, which is why it works so well. It thickens. Peanut butter is fat and protein and it emulsifies into the liquid, giving the chili body without the floury taste you get from a thickener. It rounds off the edges. Chili is acidic from the tomatoes and sharp …

A close view of the four tines of a fork on a plate
Kitchen Tips & How-Tos

Why Some Forks Have a Longer Outer Tine

Pull a fork out of your drawer and look at the outer two tines. On a lot of forks — particularly older sets and better ones — the left-hand outer tine is noticeably wider and flatter than the other three. It isn’t a manufacturing fault. It’s there on purpose. It’s a Cutting Edge That wider outer tine is thickened so you can press down with it and cut through soft food without reaching for a knife. A piece of fish. A soft potato. Cake. Pasta. Anything you’d rather cut with the side of the fork while holding the plate steady. …

A wooden spoon hooked over the rim of a saucepan

What the Notch on the Edge of a Wooden Spoon Is For

Some wooden spoons have a notch cut into one side of the handle, up near the top. Others have a flat cut across one edge of the bowl. I owned several for years and assumed they were decorative, or just where the wood had been shaped. Both have a job. The Notch in the Handle Is a Pot Rest The notch sits over the rim of a pot so the spoon hangs on the edge instead of sliding down into whatever you’re cooking. It’s the answer to the thing that happens to everyone — you leave the spoon in the …

A food can on its side showing the domed base
Kitchen Tips & How-Tos

Why Some Cans Have a Dent in the Bottom

Run your hand over the bottom of a can of soup and you’ll feel it — a shallow dome pushed up into the middle, so the can actually sits on its rim rather than flat on its base. It looks like a manufacturing shortcut. It’s the opposite. It’s one of the most deliberate bits of design in your cupboard, and it’s also a safety signal. Why the Bottom Is Domed Canned food is heated inside the sealed can to sterilise it. Heating makes the contents expand; cooling makes them contract. The can has to survive that, twice, without splitting. A …
