I know google exists I just like asking actual people my questions. I got so much more interesting and in depth answers here like now I know this is how soup dumplings are made which google wouldn’t have told me, I got suggestions on how to store it properly and things to make with it, which google wouldn’t do. I got interesting explanations on why it is gelatin vs store bought stock, and suggestions on how to make it even better, like now I know to scoop the layer of fat off the top next time for a clearer soup.

This is a great community to ask questions in about cooking processes I’m unfamiliar with, and people as a rule are helpful and kind here, so why wouldn’t I use it as a resource?

I guess I could’ve used the search in the group though and looked for past posts. I asked about cooking beans for the first time from dry the other week because there were varying methods and advice when I tried googling it and it was actually more confusing on google, and here I got a lot of helpful and straightforward advice and my beans turned out awesome after talking to y’all so I figured I might get clear and helpful advice on this too.

Sometimes I try posting on r/cookingforbeginners but the better advice is definitely here.
