The only cooking appliance I need is my Tatung rice cooker

3 hours ago James Brave

Instant Pot? Air fryer? Bread maker? No, no and no, thank you.

All I need is my rice cooker.

I don’t own one of the newer models either, with all the bells and whistles that will cook your rice, wash your dishes then give you a back massage. I’ve had the same Tatung since I moved into my first apartment 20-plus years ago, and it was a hand-me-down when I got it. These bad boys are indestructible — buy one and you’re set for life.

The automatic rice cooker is a workhorse in every rice-obsessed Asian household. It became a

Sony FlavorGraph Program Cooking Ingredients Pair

15 hours ago James Brave

Sony has unveiled a new program called FlavorGraph that uses AI technology to let you know which ingredients, in theory, go well together when cooking.

FlavorGraph uses a deep learning system developed by Sony and researchers at Korea University, who examined the molecular contents of ingredients and how they’ve been used traditionally in recipes. The researchers and programmers came up with a large database that includes the profiles of 1,561 flavor molecules. All of this was cross-referenced with close to one million recipes to find patterns in how ingredients have been historically combined.

So far, FlavorGraph hasn’t come across any

1 day ago James Brave

Cream cheese adds an all too familiar thick, creamy, rich tang to the cut sides of bagels, in between layers of carrot cake, in bowls of flavorful party dips, and more. But what if you’re halfway into a recipe only to realize that someone used your cream cheese to slather on their cinnamon raisin bread this morning, leaving you several tablespoons short?

While it’s hard to replicate the exact flavor and texture of cream cheese (especially all at once), there are some good substitutes available. Some can be used as is with pleasing results, and others need a few tweaks;

Amy Zhang started her Instagram account Still Hungry Dallas (@still_hungry_dallas) to share delicious dishes at restaurants and homecooked meals.

DALLAS — Amy Zhang is always hungry.

At least, that’s how the Dallas resident describes herself.

“I’m actually six feet tall, so I have a huge appetite,” Zhang said laughing. “My friends would joke (and say), ‘Oh, I bet you Amy’s still hungry.’ And I would still be hungry.”

That’s how Still Hungry Dallas — Zhang’s foodie Instagram account (@still_hungry_dallas), featuring delicious dishes from her favorite restaurants, got its name.

Review: Cooking With Smithey’s Carbon Steel Round Roaster

Nota bene: If you buy through the links in this article, InsideHook may earn a small share of the profits.

When I was doing research for a cast iron story recently, I came across the argument that no one needs a cast-iron skillet because chefs don’t use them. No professional cook would ever take the time to use such an ancient pan, they argued, so neither should you.

That argument begs the question: Who said home cooks want to replicate the restaurant kitchen experience? Chefs and their comrades thrive off efficiency and speed. At home, especially during the
