I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

A lot of people want to start meal prepping/planning and it is a noble goal. However, just like any habit, people tend to go all in, get overwhelmed and quit. I want to outline how someone can assess where they are, what skills they need to develop and a process to be successful.

1. Assess your cooking skills: This process is going to look very different for people who have cooking skills and those who have no cooking skills. If you’ve never cooked before, two skills you need are: onion chopping (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU-gfFzC6Uw I mean, really, just go watch all of Good Eats, it will teach you so much) and pancake making (to learn about your stove and what a good cooking temperature is). Food safety is also important (see: https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/keep-food-safe.html). If you’ve never cooked before, you need to give yourself lots of grace because it is a skill like any other and it will take time to develop.

2. Assess your tools and equipment: What do you have at your disposal? This will look different if you’re in a dorm with just a kettle or you have a full kitchen. Is there a particular small appliance you’d like to use (rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer)? If you’re just starting out, you’ll need the basics. The first 5 are absolute essentials.
   A) a good knife (a chef’s knife and a paring knife from Victorinox is good quality relative to price)
   B) Pots and pans (a la carte is better than a set, some recipes need them to be oven-safe)
   C) cutting boards (I like also have flexible ones just for chopping veggies)
   D) wooden spoon(s)or something to stir a pot. If you want to go beyond basics, tongs are handy, as is a spatula
   E) can opener and speed peeler (I prefer the Y shape). If you want to splurge a microplane zester will work for garlic, ginger and citrus zest (if you really really want to splurge, a garlic press, but then you have to risk disappointing Alton Brown if he ever finds out)
   F) bowls (Pyrex makes a set that come with lids, great for storage)
   G) measuring cups (dry), measuring cups (wet), measuring spoons
   H) storage containers for leftovers (might look different depending on what kind of prepping you’re doing, see 4 below)
   I) a strainer/colander for draining pasta, etc
   J) somewhere to keep your recipes and shopping list. This can be a binder with a calendar in it and a notepad, or an app like Paprika which I really like (see discussion here: https://www.

From what I've seen on this sub, you're supposed to put Crisco on and then wipe it all away so that it looks like there's nothing even on the pan and then bake.

But then this Epicurious video has a pro chef just slathering up the pan like it's a Thanksgiving turkey and doing an oven seasoning?

Do your worst!

Hello bakers! We're on to our second week of the 52 Weeks of Baking Challenge. This week, we've got a theme we've never tried before - Candy!

As is every other week, this week is open to your personal interpretation. If you're stumped, here are a few ideas to get you started:

You could include candy in your bake with something like this Mini Egg Cheesecake, these Stained Glass Cookies or these KitKat Brownies.

You could use pre-made gummy candies, make your own candied orange peel or sponge toffee to decorate a layered cake or cupcakes.

We've decided that caramel counts as candy! You could make your own salted caramel to top or fill your bake or even create these caramel chews which are delicious all on their own.

We're leaving it up to you! Whatever you choose to make, be sure to share a photo of it in a post and let us know how it went. Can't wait to see the sweet treats that are created this week!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!
