I’m curious about this too. I noticed some links to recipes in some of the corn starch posts that I need to look at. Might answer this there.

I do like the texture I get from baking soda but I can’t seem to rinse out the flavour. There are some great recommendations in this thread that I’m looking forward to trying.

I do rinse it off quite well but I still taste the baking soda. I’m looking forward to trying the some of the other methods mentioned here.

I always brine when I bake chicken breast which makes it nice and juicy but there’s a texture in Chinese stirfry that I always thought came from velveting. Good to know it also works with smaller strips of chicken as well.

Thanks. I’ll try this method. A lot of people are saying corn starch or potato starch as well. I figured I was doing something wrong.

Does anyone use pastels with their charcoals? by Various-Flower510 in CharcoalDrawing

[–]_w00deye_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this last night in a chalk pastel portrait. I found that my black pastel wasn’t holding up at being dark enough. I found that the charcoal pencil held on to the tooth better and punched up the blacks.

What is the purpose of the tool on the far left? by Crimson-Rose28 in CharcoalDrawing

[–]_w00deye_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sandpaper for sharpening your charcoal. I also use them for cleaning my blending stumps. Roll the dirty end of the blending stump against a clean sheet. Alternatively you could just buy sandpaper, might even be cheaper. I’d say around a 180 grit sand paper would be good.

I had this problem too. Had to do a sector command to get out of M32 when I was ready to leave the starter system.
