There is an overwhelming number of cooking fats on the market, but the average kitchen doesn’t need all that many. Read more…

How (and When) to Use Fresh Vs. Dried Herbs in Your Cooking Salt and (good) pepper can get you pretty far in your cooking, but true grown-up cooks use an arsenal of herbs and spices to flavor their meals. How you stock your spice cabinet will depend on the type of cuisine you want to enjoy—a “basic” Anglo spice cabinet is quite different from an East Asian one—but knowing how… Read more…

LPT No dishwasher? Have a sink of soapy water ready before you finish cooking/eating. As you’re cooking (and waiting for things to cook), you’ll be able to quickly do your dishes as you use them. When you’re finished eating, all you need to do is scrub your dish(es) and silverware, and you’re good to go. Extra credit: If you have more than one sink bay, keep one of them full of soapy water so you can maintain your dishes throug…

Toss These Foods in Your Oven While You’re Cooking Something Else I use my air fryer more than my oven, mainly because I’m rarely feeding more than two people at a time, and heating up the Big Oven to cook a couple servings of roasted vegetables seems like overkill. But casseroles and braises don’t fit in the air fryer, which means I’ll be turning on the oven quite a bit in the next… Read more…

LPT: Divide a frozen pizza in half before cooking to avoid eating cold or rewarmed leftovers Put half in the oven to eat and re-wrap the other half in plastic wrap and slide in the box and put back in freezer to enjoy oven ‘fresh’ pizza later. submitted by /u/houseofsum

How to get a good photo of me cooking? I’m trying to get some pictures for an OLD profile and one thing I believe will give me more appeal is a good photo of me cooking. Problem is my kitchen looks incredibly depressing. It’s just grays and whites. Not to mention the lighting isn’t the best. I prepared a meal yesterday so I was thinking for the photo I would just show myself adding …

If you spend any time in the kitchen, a food-triggered false alarm has probably happened to you. But you can stop false smoke alarms without compromising fire safety. Read more…

LPT: Cooking is an art, baking is a science When cooking you can take more liberties, substitute ingredients, add all the extra garlic you want etc to achieve the desired result. Baking though, you’re gonna need to follow the recipe a lot more stringently, particularly cake baking. The measurements and order are specific for a reason, there’s a few chemical reactions taking place and thro…

Not bad for cooking in a hotel room submitted by /u/projecthelios92

LPT: avoid the disgusting “reheated chicken” smell by slow-cooking initially For years I would fry chicken in a pan, and it was great if I ate it right away. But if I tried to heat up leftovers, especially in the microwave, the chicken had this disgusting smell that was intolerable to me. Then a couple months ago my wife suggested making shredded chicken by baking it in a Dutch oven (also works in a Pyrex dish covered wi…
