An Egg Genius Urged Me to Strain Before Poaching. The Results Were Astounding - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perhaps no other form of egg cookery has so much rhetoric and written words dedicated to it as the elusive poached egg. Poached eggs are humble, but surprisingly complicated to master. Perhaps even more so than the omelet. (In this egg-loving, frequent-egg-cooking author’s opinion.) Even with water as the only other procedural requirement. If you’ve tried other methods for delivering a perfect poached egg — electric egg cookers, nonstick poaching pans or the seemingly infallible microwave method
I Test Kitchen Tools for a Living. Most People Are Missing This $18 Essential - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As you spend more time in the kitchen, it becomes clear that having the right tools can have an outsized impact on your recipe success rate. Some gadgets out there aren’t worth the space they take up in a drawer, but many are essential without an obvious substitute or workaround. A high-quality knife collection, forgiving wooden cutting boards and a smattering of good pans fall squarely in this category. Other, less obvious kitchen tools that chefs and home cooks deem essential exist. As a culin
One Air Fryer Grilled Cheese Was All It Took to Convince Me to Retire the Skillet - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt

That means you can barel
How to Make Air Fryer Fries Taste Exactly Like Deep-Fried - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Deep-frying at home isn’t rocket science, but it does present a challenge: what to do with all that oil afterward. This oil reuse routine is worth considering, but if you’d rather not manage a pot of boiling oil, an air fryer is your next best option. Air fryer fries, even frozen grocery store fries, come out surprisingly good, but they don’t reach the heights of their deep-fried counterparts. Air-fried fries typically come out drier with a less even crisp than ones submerged in hot fat. Perfect
The Nifty Trick That Gives Stainless-Steel Cookware a Nonstick Skin - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ask a chef for advice, and they’ll encourage you to use stainless-steel cookware for most recipes. Stainless steel is versatile, earning it the honor of being the most widely used type of cookware among the culinary intelligentsia, but it has drawbacks. Stainless steel pans are sold as versatile, durable and long-lasting, but they aren’t known for letting food go after it’s done cooking. The truth is that stainless steel will release food as cleanly as any coated pan when it’s preheated correctl
