Come on in 'The Kitchn'
Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.
This week, the Kitchn explains the principles of cheese meltiness, noting that Parmesan and other hard, low-moisture cheeses are not the way to go.
Also on the Kitchn, the afterlife of a Dutch Oven, how to grow your own alfalfa sprouts, poaching plums in a brown sugar syrup, and using cinnamon sticks as skewers on the grill.
- What to Do With... An Old Dutch Oven?: Since it's a little too depressing to just chuck a chipped, defunct Dutch Oven, here are some clever ways to salvage it.
- How To Grow Your Own Alfalfa Sprouts: Part One: Poor sprouts. They have been recalled several times over the years, but when you grow your own in a mason jar, you can avoid the health hazards.
- Quick Dessert Recipe: Poached Whole Plums with Brown Sugar Syrup: Picture a pudgy plum nestled in a bowl of ice cream. How can something be that cute and delicious-sounding?
- Grilling Tip: Use Cinnamon Sticks As Skewers: No offense, normal sticks, but using your cinnamon cousin sounds way more exciting.
