Unlike tongs, these tweezer tongs are slim and compact, fitting into any tool crock, drawer, or even apron pocket if youre all about that quick draw. Theres no fussy locking mechanism to slow you down while cooking, no weird nooks or pockets for food or hot water to get caught in.

At home Im usually cooking for two, and sizzle platters let me make the most of my limited oven space. Because I can roast multiple things at once on several small platters rather than all together on one big baking sheet, each item can go in and out of the oven just when it needs to.

Giving nuts and seeds a few minutes in the oven deepens their flavors and improves their texture - and it provides more even cooking than the stovetop.

A dough might start out lumpy and wet, but as you knead, it will grow smooth, supple, and springy - thats how you know youve fully developed your gluten network and can stop kneading.

Sea spaghetti looks like dark fettuccine and has a similar texture - you can get it in health food stores or online.

Tortoises can survive for weeks without food or water, easily long enough to float in the Humboldt Current from South America to the Galapagos Islands.

The Middle East is ailing. The malady stems from pervasive violence, shortages of food, water and educational opportunities, discrimination against women and - the most virulent cause of all - the absence of freedom.

Use spices for flavor in food rather than adding a bunch of oils, fats, or sauces.

Food poverty exists because of unemployment, low wages, high costs of heating, as well as problems at the DWP including delays in receiving social security, and the cruel and unfair Bedroom Tax.
