Hello and welcome to a special mailbag edition of Dinner SOS.

0:15.7

I'm Chris Morocco, Food Director of Bon Appetit and Epicurious.

0:19.1

We'll be back next week with our regular episodes, but today I'm joined by my colleague

0:24.2

Shilpa Iskokovich and we're going through our inbox.

In the case of how to make great roast vegetables, to your point, don't overcrowde the pan.
