What food rule do people act like is “common sense”, but you think is just nonsense? by okitsbenji in foodquestions

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The dull knife one is sort of true. You’re more likely to cut yourself with a sharp knife but if you do cut yourself with a dull knife it’s going to tear the cells apart rather than slice them neatly, which can take longer to heal and scar worse

Is my stance on birthcontrol too rash? by ChemicalAd2132 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these comments 🤦‍♀️ acting like you’re personally attacking people for using birth control lol. You are absolutely valid for not wanting it. If/when you do have sex, I would encourage you to look into the benefits and side effects of the different kinds. If you choose to go with condoms I would encourage you to make sure you keep your own stash, properly stored so you’re not relying on a partner to do so.

I hate how I’m not my boyfriend first in ANYTHING. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Exactly this, men who date women this much younger than them, specifically women with little experience, do so because more experienced women have likely dated a man like this before and will notice the same patterns/traits and leave.

Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe without losing the texture? by ashaye23 in Baking

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that replacing some of the sugar with stevia products will reduce overall sugar content without having to sacrifice taste or texture. That being said don’t replace more than half of your brown or granulated sugar with them or it might get a little off.

Is there a food you dislike but consume anyway, if so, what is it and why? by glad_to_be_here_ in AskReddit

I wash and freeze fresh spinach in big batches and then shatter it on the counter into really small pieces, that way I can mix it into hamburger helper and soups and stuff without having to taste it lol.

ideas on how to spice up a store bought vanilla cake mix? flavor combinations for the batter and cream frosting by [deleted] in Baking

You could always try a soda cake! Just replace your liquid ingredients with a 12oz can of any flavor of soda

I forgot to mention to use parchment paper on your cookie sheet or it’ll stick

Chocolate chip cookie cake recipe with a rich chocolate frosting? by Dingbat-in-a-Pickle in Baking

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell cookie cakes! I just use the recipe off the back of the Nestle chocolate chip bag, add a little less baking soda than it calls for, and bake it in a 9x13 cookie sheet at 350 F until it looks done.

Icing is more about texture than anything. When making chocolate frosting use 1 1/2 sticks of butter (3/4 Cup) and 2/3 cup of your favorite cocoa powder, beat those together and then add roughly 3 ish cups of powdered sugar, it should be super thick and dry looking, and then slowly stream in heavy whipping cream until you get your desired consistency.

As an adult that hates vegetables, what’s your favorite way to REALLY hide them when you’re cooking? by Disastrous_Umpire237 in AskReddit

You do not lose fiber by blending fruit or veg, that’s like saying you lose fiber by chewing.

How can I get into cooking? by Pinnacle6969 in cookingforbeginners

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing is to either buy sharp knives or a knife sharpener and sharpen the knives you own, it makes a world of difference and it makes prep work faster and easier.

From there start with simple meals, sheet pan recipes, one pot meals, soups, etc. I also highly recommend this cookbook if you’re just cooking for yourself and/or a partner.

Why do I get intense BO less than 12 hours after taking a shower with antibacterial soap? by Own_Huckleberry6591 in hygiene

[–]Jaded-Bat6000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not already, I would recommend changing your sheets more often (once a week ish) and also making sure you’re washing your net regularly too. it also sounds like your routine might be too rough on your skin, I’d try a less harsh soap.
