No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

When a receipt requires a liter of stock, you can dilute two stock cube in 1 liter of water and pour in.

My question is, why not just add the water and the cubes directly into the food that your making, without mixing the two prior to adding it?

Is there any reason not just add them unmoxxed and just stir a few times more that you'd have to?

His entire comment is addressing both those questions bro lol

I don't see it. They say that they toss it in vegetable soup but not cream soups. They don't say why or if they do so based on advice or experience.

They also mention not adding it to non soup dishes

My question is why they differentiate between vegetable soup and cream soup and if it is based on own experience or something they have been told.

Can you answer that based on their reply above?

Basically anything that's watery-ish is fine because it will boil and separate the particles evenly (particles move easier through water than almost any liquid besides some special chemicals iirc) but cream soup is much thicker and has taken up a lot of the potential for free-moving particulate.

Same goes for anything else. If you can see the water move and behave like water, it should boil and disperse the cubes. Anything that behaves thicker than water risks the cubes not dispersing properly so you risk unexpected salty bites.

In both cases though I'd stir enough for it to disperse. I do expect it to need some more stirring for thicker or creamy soups, but I don't see why there's should be a difference. I even just plop a few cubes into a Bolognesesauce, stir well and let it simmer

Please do it then report back on results for science.

The issue is that success may be different from uset to user. I do indeed just put the cube straight in and have no issues with whatever i make. Even to add flavour to rice! But my standards may be lower than average
