This Major Rule About Mashed Potatoes Is Wrong - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My family takes mashed potatoes seriously. It’s the one thing I dedicate the most attention to during the holidays, whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas. I have some hard-and-fast rules when making mashed potatoes. First, they have to be made with Yukon Gold potatoes for the best flavor and texture. Second, the cooking water has to be properly salted while the potatoes are boiling. Adding salt afterward can make the potatoes taste salty without seasoning them as evenly, but salting the cooking
I Asked 2 Experts How To Choose the Best Bananas—They Both Said the Same Thing - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shopping for bananas is probably something you’ve never given much thought to. Most shoppers don’t think beyond grabbing a bunch and moving on. You may check berries for oozy or fuzzy bits, smell a pineapple for sweetness, or use touch to gauge the ripeness of avocados and stone fruit. But what about bananas?

This gives your scrambled eggs a creamy texture and prevents them from becoming dry or rubbery. I eat two eggs almost every single day for a meal that I refer to as “mom brunch.” Try as I may, as a mom of three, getting myself a proper breakfast first thing in the morning is nearly impossible. If I’m lucky, I grab some sort of bar or froz
This Major Rule About Scrambled Eggs Turns Out To Be Wrong - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are some persistent myths in the culinary world, and no food has more rules and regulations than scrambled eggs. Cook them low and slow. Don’t add dairy. Add extra dairy. Use non-stick. Add starch. Stir them constantly. Name a scrambled egg-making technique or rule, and I’ve tried it—or tried to break it. In all my endless egg experience, there’s one major rule I no longer follow: Don’t salt eggs before cooking. It has long been stated that eggs should never be salted before cooking becaus
