Ice Cream vs Gelato-Ice creams are churned faster and harder than gelato. Ice creams typically increase in volume with air, through churning by at least 25 and up to 90 percent. This makes them a little fluffier. Gelato is churned at a much slower pace, keeping it dense and more flavorful.

It is good to marinate most proteins before cooking but fish is so delicate, the flesh can break down when marinated first, sometimes causing the fish to fall apart. A post-grill lathering delivers flavor without compromising texture.

The big debate… should you soak your wooden skewers before grilling? I do and prefer it.

Sick of shredding your knuckles instead of cheese? Buy a Microplane, which is much more efficient.
