Wilted Kale Salad… a true golden oldie from Burnt My Fingers
September is the anniversary month of this blog, wherein we reveal the posts that have garnered the most views over the past 12 months. In the next couple of weeks we’ll report on the most popular recipes, then the most popular non-recipe posts. If you love the clips shows on the Simpsons, you’ll want to stay tuned. But first, let’s take a look at some Golden Oldies from Burnt My Fingers…. posts that were incredibly popular at one time but have since dropped off the edge of the planet.
Why I’m not buying a Sansaire sous vide device got over 17,000 pageviews, making it our most viewed post ever. It represented the tip of an internet iceberg battle over this once-new cooking technology. Today, crickets. Similarly, My first sous vide is among our all-time top ten but more recently can’t crack the top 100. Did everybody buy a sous vide cooker, try it, and leave it moldering in the back of the pantry? Is the same thing going to happen with the Instant Pot?
In the recipe department, Wilted Kale Salad is an all-time top tenner but rarely gets a click these days. Seems like we’re done with healthy eating. Sizzling Chicken Sisig is another former top post that attracted massive traffic from the Phillippines till the search engines changed their algorithm. This hack of supermarket rotisserie chicken to make a favorite bar snack definitely deserves another look.
Let’s honor these fallen warriors with a nod and a click. Since foods are tied to comfort, nostalgia is a key part of the eating experience. After all, there was a time when we loved Scalloped Potatoes with Tongue.
