Crepe batter and pancake batter are not the same. While both batters include flour, eggs, milk, and butter or oil, crepe batter typically has a higher ratio of liquid to flour than pancake batter, resulting in thinner, more delicate crepes. Additionally, crepe batter may omit leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda since crepes are typically thin and flat. Pancake batter, on the other hand, is thicker and contains leavening agents, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Moscow Mule is traditionally served in a copper cup because copper is an excellent conductor of both heat and cold, making it perfect for keeping the chilled cocktail icy cold. Additionally, the coldness of the copper cup helps to enhance the flavor and aroma of the ginger beer and lime juice, thereby providing a more refreshing and flavorful drinking experience. The copper also reacts with the acidic ingredients in the drink, adding a subtle metallic taste that complements the other flavors. The unique appearance of the copper cup also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the drink, making it more visually appealing and iconic.

Boiling chicken beforehand can potentially lead to dry and tough meat, so it is not necessary to do so.

It is not recommended to defrost soup at room temperature as it can promote bacteria growth.
