"If you can get them, I highly recommend water-cooked bamboo shoots packed in plastic. The product I buy, unlike tinned bamboo, is not cut, and consists of a large, soft bamboo shoot. I cut it myself into my desired size and add it to my dish while cooking, and the taste and texture are excellent." – vorpal

"In cooking, as in many things in life, consistency is everything. That chicken might look, smell, feel, and seem done, but there's no way of knowing until you check it with a thermometer." – jefskil

"Cook's Illustrated pie crust [uses] vodka. Never fails. Will make you look and taste like a culinary savant." – ipsedixit, on his favorite pie crust recipe
