Rice is one of the most universal culinary cornerstones, consumed by well over 3 billion people every day. Predominantly grown in Asia, it's enjoyed across many continents, so unsurprisingly, it has spun off into many varieties. A particularly popular one is jasmine, a fragrant type grown in Southeast Asia and popular in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Fish and chips is a classic seafood dish served at many restaurants, thanks to its straightforward cooking process and compelling crunch that gives way to tender, flaky flesh. It's just fish that is coated in batter and deep-fried, then served with a side of French fries, which are called "chips" because of the street food's close ties to the United Kingdom (in the U.K., fries are referred to as chips).

What Is The Mystery Fish In Your Fish And Chips?

Softened or "room temperature" butter is an essential ingredient in baking, typically creamed with sugar as the first step in making cakes, slices, muffins, and cookies. It's also a crucial element in creating deliciously fluffy buttercream frosting. But as any home baker will know, transforming a rock hard block of butter into something more squidgy is easier said than done. Soften the butter too little, and it won't blend with the sugar, ultimately creating dense and heavy bakes. Soften it too much, on the other hand, and it will give you a greasy, loose batter with a flat, soggy result.

When you and your kids are sitting under the golden arches at the local McDonald's Playland, just know this: You're one of the reasons that America's favorite fast food chain can brag that it has sold more than a billion hamburgers. Yes, that's a billion with a "B." And it's very likely that the famous worldwide burger joint has sold many more burgers than that, given that a) McDonald's sold about 75 burgers a second globally in 2021 (per Investing.com) and b) there are 86,400 seconds in a day. To figure out how that per-second number was reached, you have to do a bit of math. Investing.com reported that Mickey D's sells 6.48 million burgers per day. To get the per-second count, you have to divide 6.48 million by 86,400 seconds to get 75 burgers a second.

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart.

Cranking up the grill is one of the best ways to cook — you don't need to worry about a messy kitchen or turning the oven on when it's a hot day. Plus, there is something about that slightly-charred flavor that adds a new element when cooking up some burgers. But there is some technique involved, so you have to know exactly how to do it if you want to grill like a master. Otherwise, you could be left with burgers that are too cooked on the outside and raw in the middle, or just overly dry throughout.

What's The Best Temperature To Grill Burgers At, Really?

Whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar in a bowl until combined and sugar and cornstarch are dissolved; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli, and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, tender-crisp, and onion is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not wipe skillet clean.

When it comes to choosing a mix of cheeses to serve at a party, Ina Garten follows a rule. Get three different kinds of cheeses that offer a "balance of flavors," which usually boils down to something creamy, a goat cheese, and a sharp cheese, like blue cheese (per Today). And in her opinion, there's one place in the world that's just a supreme place to buy these cheeses: Barthélémy in Paris, City of Light.

Adding a crispy crust to any cake you bake will complement its soft, moist crumb perfectly, creating next-level texture. You can achieve this ever-so-delicate crunch by dusting a greased cake pan with sugar instead of flour. Swapping out flour for sugar produces a lacy caramelized layer — somewhat similar to a lace tuile — that's light enough to slice through easily with a spoon.

Oxtail is one of the most delicious cuts of beef, offering a rich, savory flavor on par with short ribs, but at a more affordable price. It also happens to be one of the most underrated cuts of beef. This is partly due to the fact that it's difficult to find oxtail at supermarkets and butcher shops, largely because each cow yields very little of it. Unfortunately, oxtail also suffers from its reputation as a tough cut riddled with chewy connective tissue. This isn't nearly as big of an issue as some might think, though. To prove it, Chowhound sought advice from James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, who is hosting a block party with Guinness on August 24 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Domino Park.

Let's be honest: The names of beef cuts are often confusing. From sirloin to strip steak to ribeye and eye of round, it's all too easy to mix up different parts of the animal. Yet if you know the specifics of a certain cut, you can unlock marvelous meat magic. One of the best examples of such hidden potential is the chuck flap, also known simply as flap meat and the edge roast.
