  • Fresh vs. Canned Jalapeños: Which Packs More Heat?
    Chris explains that fresh jalapeños are usually hotter due to higher capsaicin levels. "Canning alters the pepper's structure, causing capsaicin to leach into the brine, softening the heat." Over time, canned jalapeños may lose spice as capsaicin continues to diffuse, especially if cut. The heat level varies based on recipe and storage.
  • Texas Tito's Reveals Burger Secrets: Soda and Pickle Butter Magic
    Chris explains that soda makes patties "softer and juicier" by loosening meat structure. He suggests 1-2 tablespoons of cola per pound. Pickle butter adds a "salty-sour accent," best applied on hot patties. For balance, mix soft butter, chopped pickles, brine, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and dill.
  • Vegan Grocery Prices: Why Hawaii Tops and Arkansas Drops
    Chris says Hawaii's vegan prices are higher due to "logistics and high demand," while Arkansas benefits from "accessible transport and lower local production costs." Limited competition and varying demand levels also influence these price differences.
