I just got some pork neck chops, but I have no idea how to cook them so the meat stays tender; I plan to cook them in a cast iron.

Help me with some inspiration? Do you marinade them, how do you season them, any tips & tricks you can share?

Thanks in advance!

The end of year is approaching, so I shifted through my bottles to see what I haven't touched in a while, found a bottle of JJ Whitley Rhubarb Vodka I completely forgot I had.

It's half empty, so I can't gift it, but I have no idea what cocktails I could use it in and I'm probably not going to drink it neat. Any suggestions?

Hi! I'm new to cast iron and just used my first cast iron pan to make Kenji's foolproof pan pizza (loved it!).

However, the pan is a bit difficult to handle because of the weight, I'd love to know if you have recommendations of lighter cast iron pans.

I also wanted to ask how you would compare a lighter pan to a regular one, are there any differences I should know about? I pretty much don't know anything about cast iron (except for what I read on this sub), so feel free to tell me stuff even if you feel it "goes without saying".

Hi! I'm getting my first sous vide next week, an Anova Nano. I want to cook something nice for my significant other, but I'm not really an experienced cook. Also, he's not that taken with the sous vide and I kind of want to impress him :)

I noticed eggs are popular for beginners, but I don't want to cook eggs since those I can make without the sous vide and it wouldn't impress him. I definitely need to do something with meat, since he doesn't eat dishes without it; I'm open to just about any meat / veggie combination except the ones with rabbit / lamb.

What would you recommend for me to cook?
