How to make the bottom of breads bake a little slower so that the whole bread could stay longer in the oven?

When I bake a bread in my oven, I sprinkle some flour on the pan. But when it's half the baking time, the bottom of burger buns or baguettes become far too brown when the bread itself is not done yet. I wonder what can I do to keep their bottom…

Bundt Pan for a Citris Olive Oil Cake?

I'm making this next week (for guests, so I don't want to screw it up) Orange Olive Oil Cake. Of course it wasn't until I became married to the recipe that I saw it calls for a 10" round cake pan. That's about the one thing I don't have in this…

How to soften diced meat that was has had too much of its juices leave from being cooked too long?

Anodized pans? Cleaning?

Hoping SA would clear some controversy. I was told that it's bad practice to put anodized non-stick pans in water immediately after cooking; as the water will cause it to degrade I argue that it's harder to clean after the fat has solidified. So…

I recently purchased a wok from goodwill however I cannot figure out if it is carbon or stainless steel

I tested the wok with magnets and they stick, so aluminum is ruled out. It definitely is not cast iron, and it has a small “china” text etched into the small handle connector. Not a complete round bottom but it is already seasoned, I think. I may…
