You can also rub the rim of the pot with butter or another fat, to keep pots from boiling over.

Also, ''don't'' throw out the Water (aka) ''Raisin Water'' that you have leftover - after Soaking & draining them : ) This 'water' can also be used in your Baking. I use it instead of plain water that a recipe calls for next time I bake something. If I'm not baking something 'soon' ... I will freeze the Raisin Water in a Ziplock Bag & put in freezer : ) I learned quite a few NEW tips etc !! ... Great Video btw ! tfs : )

When baking or cooking using alcohol may not be in everyone’s panty. It’s not in mine nor am I going to go out and grab a bottle for a measure of this or that. However, on hole this video did have me taking notes. Thank you for sharing.

When put toothpick in potato why does not toothpick burn

[@j.a.w.jr.7645]

I'm not sure how much heat a toothpick would conduct but if you cook that tater long enough to burn that wood, your tater won't be edible! Just poke some holes with a fork and it won't be an issue. 😁

[@tonipeterson954]

If burning is a concern ... soak the toothpicks in water beforehand ... like you do with wooden skewers

[@patrickhenigin4805]

Use a stainless steel "potato nail" to help conduct heat into the potato. Not for microwave.

[@debrasterzinger6000]

Swap them for chocolate chips.Much better.
