Questions cooks actually ask

How long do homemade dressings keep?

Vinaigrettes keep about a week refrigerated. Dairy based dressings and dips keep 3 to 4 days. Each recipe states its window.

Why did my pan sauce break?

Usually the heat was too high or the butter went in too fast. Pull the pan off the heat and mount the butter a cube at a time. The recipes show the timing.
