11 Things You Should Never Store In Plastic Containers, According To Experts

I started seriously caring about the tools in my kitchen when I moved into my first solo apartment. My 400-square-foot studio in San Francisco had a microscopic kitchen with almost no storage, so I needed to be extremely selective when buying anything that had to do with cooking.

There’s nothing quite like a good burger. Switching up the buns and toppings can create different tasting experiences, making it easy to please your whole family with a single dish. Although making burgers from scratch isn't difficult, nothing beats the convenience of frozen patties. Not only do they come pre-shaped, but they also don’t require thawing before cooking.

I’ll be honest: I’m not usually the kind of person who asks to see the dessert menu at the end of the meal. Don’t get me wrong, I love a sweet treat as much as the next person, but I’d rather fill up on my main course and enjoy a homemade cookie or bowl of ice cream later in the comfort of my home—once I’m in my stretchy sweatpants (à la Joey from “Friends” in his “Thanksgiving pants”).

It doesn't take a lot to catch my eye, but three words will do it: new Le Creuset. There's just something about the heritage French cookware that speaks deeply to my soul, even if I'm not in a place, storage-wise or financially, to be buying each new color that the brand puts out.
