Advice | Cooking chat: What's a good party dip for Fourth of July that can sit out? - The Washington Post

Every Wednesday at noon Eastern, food writer Aaron Hutcherson and recipes editor Becky Krystal provide practical cooking advice with customized answers that you can’t find on Google. They answer questions like “Do you need to rinse rice?” and “Is it safe to leave butter at room temperature?”

But there’s more! Often, your excellent questions inspire us to write full-length articles. Recent posts have covered broth vs. stock (and whether it really matters), foolproof ways to cook fish and a look at carbon-steel pans.

Aaron and Becky both write and test recipes for Post Food, our team dedicated to helping you cook with confidence. We’re hoping this weekly chat will be a lively conversation where you can figure out any issues in the kitchen and identify new recipes for you to try.

Here are some questions we answered today:

• When recipes call for an air fryer, what do you suggest I do instead? Or should I sacrifice counter space for the air fryer?
• How can I amp up the flavor in recipes that call for chile peppers if I don’t like spice?
• Should I cook beans in their soaking liquid, or use fresh water?
• What’s the best way to evenly coat popcorn with butter and seasoning?
