Distilled Golden Swan Vinegar for Pickling?
Hello! I've never pickled in my life, but we have quite glut of cucumbers and courgettes this year. Even the neighbours are sick of them. I have 20l of the distilled white vinegar I buy in bulk for cleaning and a full spice rack, as well as an obsessive jar saving habit and wondered about pickling all the things. Does…

Tasty Veggie Options (Store bought) Recommendations
I mostly cook from scratch and not a meat eater, so always on the look out for good veggie things that are worth buying ( have tried many which are not even remotely tasty) so wondered if anyone had recommendations of things they've tried. Things I like (and loathe) all rather subjective I know but ...: Mince - I like the…

Rice cooker vs Ninja Foodi
Hello! I hope I'm posting in the right place. I have been trying to learn to cook Chinese food, and rice cookers seem an important piece of kit. We have a Ninja Foodi 9 in 1 which I use all the time and apparently pressure cooks rice quite well. Is a dedicated rice cooker worth it do you think, please? I understand even…

Storing cooking oil after usage.
I have a 2 litre fryer but I live alone and never really use it, not that I don't want to as it would stop me buying take away once or twice a week but I hate the idea of using old oil, and/or storing oil in such a way that is a lot of effort. What my old method ended up being was to put kitchen roll in a sieve, put over a…

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole…

Best place for new towels
It's time to replace our towels, which are a mis-match of 15 year old hand me downs (those are from Christy) and cheapies. I simply want a nice set of good quality, matching towels in a muted mid or dark blue. Happy to spend up to £200 for 4 hand towels, 4 bath sheets and 4 bath mats. I ordered 'denim' towels from Christy…
