I Asked 3 Chefs if You Should Poke Holes in Steak Before Marinating It, and They All Said the Same Thing - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marinades are magical things: they infuse flavors into proteins of every kind and can turn a tough cut of meat into a succulent one. That alchemy is at work whether you’re using a homemade marinade or making store-bought salad dressing work the double-shift. But marinades are bound by a stubborn rule: most seasonings are fat soluble, meaning they only penetrate a few millimeters into a steak’s surface. Knowing that more surface area means more flavor, poking holes into a steak should help marina
Barbecue Fans Prize This Sign of Perfectly Smoked Meat—But Experts Say It’s Overrated - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A smoke ring is the pink band that forms just beneath the surface of smoked meat when gases produced during combustion react with myoglobin before heat denatures it. Its size or intensity can look impressive, but it does not reliably indicate smoke flavor, tenderness, juiciness, or barbecue skill. A “smoke ring,” the rosy pink band beneath the bark of smoked brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, and even turkey breast, has long been prized by pitmasters and barbecue enthusiasts as a sign of properly smo
The Cooking Oils Chefs Actually Use at Home—and Why They Reach for Them - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every oil serves a purpose. Ask 10 chefs what oil they use for any given task, and you’ll get 10 answers, most of them contradicting each other with total confidence. Still, I love a good debate, so I asked four chefs which workhorse oil they rely on for different duties in the kitchen—for versatility, high-heat endurance, and unmistakable flavor—and instead of a fight, I got a clear map for navigating whatever’s on the stove. Sarah and Kaitlin Leung: Co-creators of The Woks of Life Mike Le: Cof
The Secret Ingredient for Richer, More Flavorful Scrambled Eggs - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The difference between good scrambled eggs and great scrambled eggs doesn’t come down to technique, heat level, a pan, or savvy stir-ins. It comes down to one ingredient: butter. I’ve made scrambled eggs with plain butter, clarified butter, and browned butter, chasing the same thing every time—eggs that taste like more than the sum of their parts. Clarified butter gets you partway there, with a rich fat that won’t scorch. Browned butter gets you flavor, but toast it again in a hot pan and you’re
The Budget Fish That Cooks Like Salmon (And Costs Half as Much) - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trout is a budget-friendly alternative to salmon, with a similar flavor and nutrient profile. Most salmon recipes can be adapted for trout, but it cooks faster, so watch closely. Steelhead trout offers a buttery, salmon-like taste and is often labeled as “steelhead salmon.” I came to a literal, wheel-squeaking stop in front of the seafood case when I saw the price of salmon the other day. To be fair, the fillets were beautiful—wild-caught sockeye, pristine and perfectly cut. But still. When did
