FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[DCAllAfrican]

My man went to Spain a few years ago and brought me back some Saffron. Added it to rice and it was good as hell. I need to look into getting more but now A aham and ahat are telling me to beware of the fakers.

So how would I know its legit in the store?

The shape of the threads. It should have a bulb or a kinda "triangle" shape at one end. The smell also, should be a sweet smell.

Would any NTer be brave enough to drink this?

Stupid question alert.

Can you still cook with fake saffron similar to how you have imitation vanilla? I ask because I want to know what to do if my saffron is not real.

Edit: saw this on Reddit

I got some for a recipe but couldn't really taste it or see what it added to it. First time using it so had no reference. It was saffron from Spain not Iran so maybe it was fugazi? Got that Expensive little bitty bottle from Costco smh.

General question to all.

How often do you use your dishwasher?

I grew up without one so now that I have one (moved last year) , I still don't use it but I know I should. Hard to break the habit.

So how often do yall use yours?

Like every other day. Mine is small though.

I quickly rinse off the solids and stick them in there. When it’s full I run it. Usually after dinner of before i go to sleep.

Cascade platinum plus is the best detergent. But they also have a “free” version that has no dyes and less fragrance.

I've got myself & a teenage son and we run ours probably 2x a week.
I'm assuming since this is your first dishwasher, maybe you're not too familiar with them, so apologies in advance if these are unwelcome:
- Rinse off solids and flat things like herbs or bits of lettuce.
- Make sure the plastics you put in have a dishwasher logo somewhere, most likely in the bottom.

Few times a week. We also use a lot of paper plates tho (as you’ve seen in my posts) so it’s not as often as it otherwise would be

5-6 times a week. Pretty much everytime after I cook.

That dishwasher running full throttle with 4 kids. Ordered parts and wheels a few times to keep it alive
