But I liked the one on grating butter for pie crust; all too often, my kitchen's too cold to expect the butter just to sit there and soften, and I don't have a microwave.

NOT brilliant at all, unless you're English,
where everything is brilliant.

Some I wasn't aware of, but NOT rinsing pasta, does ANYONE not know THAT??

I have a friend who insists on rinsing it to get the starch off. What does
she think it is made of, if not starch?

I'll bet that most folks still rinse and drain pasta. If you're making
ramen, it's an important step. I certainly rinse pasta - I don't want
those noodles to get all sticky and overcooked. ICK!

Why would you think that? Or do you just think it is clever to put down the
English?

"Brilliant" is a term we've seen used in movies by British characters
to indicate approbation. If I recall correctly, Ron Weasley (in the
Harry Potter movies and possibly in the books) was notably fond of
the term.

Kind of how everything in the USA is "amazing," one of the most overused words

Nearly every one was not a short cut but would take more time than using traditional methods.

If I rinsed pasta to make mac and cheese the cheese would never melt, if I rinsed it to make spaghetti I'd be putting hot sauce over cold pasta.

I liked thr one about use your porch as a cooler, because I do! I have a non climate controlled screen room off my kitchen onto the deck, and I made a big pot of baked beans recently and cooled it off in ther screen room, which got down to freezing that night!

I, too, use my glassed in porch as a walk in refrigerator/freezer depending on the temp. We put in a 4'x2' shelving unit for cold storage and it gets used for months at a time. This winter has only been cold enough to use it as a fridge, though. Southern NH has really only had a few cold days this year, most days have felt like early spring.
