You don’t know how bad I needed something like this. I cannot say I’m the worst cook in the world but I also cannot say I’m the best cook in the world. Something like this would definitely help me quite a bit.

This was super helpful. I never knew that about burnt cake. I have used a metal strainer before on burned bread. Worked well!

There are some really neat suggestions in there that I’ve not heard of. I wonder if the apple will work on slightly stale cookies too.
