rule of thumb

But there is a rough rule of thumb.

“I would say in the interest of just being as risk free as possible, two hours, at least, seems like a good rule of thumb.”

A good rule of thumb is to have your sugar solution fill approximately three quarters to an inch of your saucepan.

There’s no agreed-upon rule of thumb for when you need to call a professional cleaner or damage repair service, but your proximity to the flames and the length of exposure can be key.

Another rule of thumb is to keep raw meat and poultry away from other foods to minimize cross contamination.
