A pot of golden broth simmering with chicken bones and vegetables

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.

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

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 …
