I need recommendations for a very cheap (<$5/750mL) but hearty, flavorful, and tasty red wine. This will be used as a braising liquid and then reduced to make a sauce for beef short ribs.

I just moved into a new apartment, and the water (from the sink, shower, etc.) smells a bit like chlorine/bleach. Should I be worried?

I'm looking for restaurant-style instructions for making risotto, i.e. where you cook it partially, then hold until service and finish it quickly to order.

So on Saturday at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market,
Prather Ranch had a special on Eye of Round beef. Being a sucker for getting a giant piece of meat at less than half-price, I am now the proud owner of a 5 lb Eye of Round. So, uh, now what should I do with it?

I have an electric stove with coil burners that heat very unevenly. I also have a
Cast Iron Griddle. I am thinking of putting the griddle on the burner, and then cooking with other pots/pans on top of the griddle, which should heat fairly evenly. Is this going to cause any problems? Will it screw up either the griddle or the pan/pot on top of it?
