Great video. I've always been told not to store potatoes in the refrigerator. Yet people story potatoes in root cellars, which are very cool. What's the difference?
How do I store broccoli to get it to last as long as possible? Mine keeps turning yellow within a week or so ರ╭╮ರ¯_ಠ_ಠ_/¯. Thank You for your time. (◔‿◔)(•‿•)
Thank you Jack, for confirming that everything you had showed us on this video, is exactly what I’ve doing for years!!!
Man, you are just the bees knees. I so enjoy your content Jack. My favourite (among greats!) from ATK.
You mentioned to store carrots in a crispy drawer. What/where is that? English isn't my native language, so that's why I don't understand what you meant in the video.
Great great great video!!!!
Good tips. Have you, could you do a comparison of canned clams and clam juice. Thank You! 😀
Today I'm so,so excited to say I'm herpes negative 😊 after using #DrBalogun herbal 🌿 supplement.
How about a video on what you can and can not put down a garbage disposal, what not to put down the drain, ect. Can be easy tips for saving people a lot of trouble! A lot is maintaining a kitchen as well!
Excellent guidance by Jack , as always. Just a point , I never put tomatoes in the freezer.They loose their taste.Even if after some time I need to discard some of them.
We never bought carrots w/greens attached until I got a rabbit, because it costs more. Then we started buying them to feed the green tops to the rabbit and discovered how much better they are! (But also learned lessons about leaving the tops on too long.)
Great tips. Thank you!
Use the carrot greens in a salad since they have about twice the VitC as the carrot itself.

Do not put your onions ANYWHERE near your potatoes
Onions expell moisture as they age, and moisture + potatos = rotting potatos, which will in turn cause your onions to rot sooner
My tip for lettuce. Use a large flat storage container such as a 11 x 13 x 5 inch. Now wash all the leaves and break off the excess ends. This works for romane, red or green leaf, and bib lettuces. Now place a sheet of papertowel on the bottom. Now a layer of leaves that don't touch (touching willl encourage rot.) Now a double layer of papertowels. Repeat layers until full. Close and refridgerate. The papertowels keeps enough moisture to keep the leaves crisp, while wicking away excess moistuere that promotes rot. This is especially great for me since i'm single. I have keeep lettuce for two or more weeks this way.
Wait waaat!! You have kids!? Interesting little tidbit. Great demo as always. I learned so many tips from you. Thank you!
QUESTION: Lisa did a review last year Woks vs. Skillets: Do you need both? On November 13, 2020. What was the single gas grill she used, please? 6:44 into the show. I'm sure it was either butane or propane but what brand and name is it? There are several of us that want to know but we didn't get an answer. Thank you. I know there are a lot out there but those are shown as outdoor use and she used this one in her kitchen. Althea
Good tips, wretched timing. Didn't you get two feet of snow in Boston yesterday?
Great tips
Yo, ATK. Your audio sync is screwed up. The voice comes out before his lips move. Did your audio guy get covid or did he just fudge up?
We always open the top of the corn especially in September to look for worms
Tomatoes in the fridge encourages a mealy texture. I'm a Jersey Girl. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
Hi, what is the best way to ripen a persimmon?
On corn: before putting it in a moist bag or paper towel in the fridge, should the silk be removed – or it doesn't matter?
