"I have been using Wondra for over 20 yrs. I use it for mostly coating my protein when making a marsala dish or whenever I saute any protein. I seal the meat without getting too thick like when using flour. It's almost like having no coating at all, but just enough to leave the meat nice and moist." – awm922 on the wonders of Wondra wheat flour

"Gravlax has been on my to-do list for a while, and I just tried it this week. Came out a little salty after curing 2 1/2 days, so next time I'll test it sooner. It's so easy I can't believe I haven't done this sooner, esp. considering how expensive lox is to buy." – Niblet on homemade cured salmon

"Here's my very best kitchen tip: For some reason it's easy to forget when you have nuts roasting. If you keep a raw nut out on the counter while they're roasting, it will remind you they're in there. This was divulged to me the day I burned 4 pounds of nuts at once during work. ... And I've never burned another nut." – mamachef
