Serious Eats Pumpkin-Carving Contest Winners

Woohoo! Thanks guys!
And honestly, I think 4th place is perfect for me... because right now the last thing I need is a super-sharp knife! The ones with the safety grips are right up my alley! :)

The thumb is healing quite nicely, thanks!! Glad you decided to extend the deadline, or I would've missed it!

Bell peppers make an appearance on my dinner plate at least twice per week. The current price of them alone ensures I'll never let them sit and rot!

Believe it or not, eggs are what gets tossed most often for being beyond-prime. There are a million and three egg recipes to choose from (not to mention that they're good just by themselves), but I always forget about them for weeks at a time.

I think I add my homegrown/dried oregano to about everything I cook if I can....what has seemed to go bad most often is my hi-glueten flour. They only sell it at the bulk store (50lbs)...

I use onions a lot. More than I ever thought I would. Fresh parsley always goes bad on me. I tried to buy a plant, but that went bad too.

I use garlic and EVOO the most. I always end up tossing bagged lettuce and/or tomatoes before I get the chance to use it all.

I use alot of garlic in my dishes. Bagged lettuce always seems to go bad before we eat it all. Thanks!

Onions, we use them alot. Buttermilk always seems to get tossed. My husband makes the ranch dressing mix with it and there is always some left that never gets used.

celery always goes bad on me before I can use it up, I use a lot of seasoning salt as a spice on meats and potatoes

I use garlic with everything. Somehow I always forget about the potatoes though! buy more and use the new ones and forget about the ones I already had

Garlic I use constantly
Bell pepper never gets used up

I use garlic in most of my entree recipes. Sweet or hot peppers spoil in my produce drawer if I do not use them right away. Taught never to waste food, I feel very guilty about anything that goes in the compost bucket without being used to some extent.

I use olive oil the most but vegetables seem to go based if you don't use them right away.

I use garlic alot. As for what goes bad - here are several candidates, but I'd have to say basil is the worst. I can only get it in bunches at least 5 times what I need, and rarely use it. And it goes bad so quickly! (My runner up is celery, turning icky in the vegetable keeper.)

I use wine in many of my recipes. Usually produce always goes bad before I get a chance to use it

I always buy lettuce to put on sandwiches but it usually turns brown and goes limp before I have a chance to use it.

I use garlic most frequently. Coconut milk is the ingredient that seems to go bad before I can use all of it.

I use tomato sauce most often. Bananas seem to go bad always before I can use them. garrettsambo@aol.com

Onions and garlic are a staple in my everyday cooking. Bread and bananas always seem to be the ones I have to discard, although I do freeze the very ripe bananas for baking.

Use most often - cheese. Always goes to waste - bananas.

I use a lot of eggs, garlic, and apples. They never get a chance to go bad. But many times I find myself tossing bottles of marinade; some new-looking concoction that we try once and decide we don't really like THAT much, but I can't throw the bottle away.

i looove using mushrooms, onions and avocados! Nectarines ALWAYS go bad before i can use them, grrrrr

The ingredient I cook with most often is onions. I am never without onions and I'm not sure if I could cook without onions. I often end up throwing out lettuce. I'm not going to take the blame for it because I cannot eat it.
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

flour is used the most, definitely.

Leftovers tend to go bad before using, but an actual food item? lettuce. We actually call the crisper drawer the "rotter" and claim our family's greatest superpower to be the ability to buy, and then not eat, salad.
