I bought a very nice waffle iron in 2015. I’ve used it twice lol. I think I’ll make waffles this weekend!

As i was scrolling further down the ideas were mostly "throw everything in and eat like you have absolutely no taste at all"! As a European the last posts were all abominations

As an American, I agree. I wouldn't do these if you paid me. UGH.

Cooking101: learn how to make bread. It's easy, cheap and the result is always good. Start with the basic recipe: flour/oil/yeast/salt/sugar/water and go from there. Leftover rice? Make arancini (just google it). Leftover wine or broth? Freeze it in an ice cube tray and use it whever you want to improve a dish. Making beef casserole? Add a tomato. It will make your meat more tender. Used too much salt? Add a boiled potato. It will balance the flavor. Use lemon zeste. Improves almost anything.

I learned bread in a different traditoin: Water, salt, yeast, flour. If you add sugar/oil etc., you're getting into enriched breads. Of course, I have three strains of sourdough in my kitchen, one based on potato, one on barley, one on whole grains of wheat. Lovely subtleties.

One can also freeze unused egg whites, save enough for a nice Angel Food Cake, they still whip after thawing

Very interesting. Looking forward to read the comments and learn some more tricks. It's a pity I forget most of this after a while.

Use the bagel setting on your toaster to toast hamburger buns for crunchy inner but a soft outer, making no crumbs. Works on the BBQ too, but butter the inside so it picks up residual flavours from the grates; 45 seconds does it.

2 cups Flour and 1 cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons baking powder pinch of salt make great bagels. Mix dough cook for 25 mins 425. I stuff mine w cheese or meat. Egg wash and everything but the bagel seasoning. Also make w chocolate chips stuffed w chocolate or cinnamon raisin. You can shape into balls or bagels.

A lot of these are really cool, but some are just "read this poster." Things like using an old ketchup bottle to store batter - now *that's* a hack! Inventive, useful, and saves money.
