Canned tuna is the second most popular type of seafood in the U.S. after shrimp (according to the National Fisheries Institute). Naturally, then, there are more varieties out there than you can shake a stick at, from light tuna to albacore to tuna packed in water to tuna packed in oil with carrots and peas. But the best canned tuna out there, at least according to celebrity chef David Chang, is from the company Dongwon, specifically its Tuna with Hot Pepper Sauce.

The Cuban sandwich (aka the Cubano) may only have a few ingredients, but when done right, it's a masterpiece of bread, meat, and cheese. A classic Cuban sandwich recipe calls for roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on pillowy Cuban bread. If you're in Tampa, salami goes in there too. The sandwich is often pressed in a plancha (Spanish for "cooking plate"), to make the outside hot and crispy and the cheese melted and gooey.

If you're looking for a way to incorporate more vegetables into your cooking, canned corn is an easy and budget-friendly option that makes this sweet, tender veggie available all year. It also makes a fantastic item to stockpile in your pantry in case you have to deal with extreme weather or other hazards that might knock out power. The best brands have multiple styles available and offer a great value, not to mention fantastic taste. Flavor is the top criteria for my taste tests but texture and variety are also key. In my opinion, canned corn should be sweet but still maintain a hint of saltiness, which actually brings out the natural taste of the corn. It should also be tender without crossing over to mushy and not have an excess amount of water in the can, which can impact the flavor and texture. I like corn that has a bit of crispiness without being tough and chewy, which can be common at the base of whole kernel corn.

This classic New Orleans dish isn’t actually barbecued—instead, it can be made on your stovetop in just over 20 minutes. The name refers to the sauce, which is smoky red and punchy in flavor. What gives it that all-important flavor? Worcestershire sauce for one, along with a generous...

The online debate about tilapia is endless. Did you know that it's a fish that's pumped full of hormones and fed its own waste? No, wait, it's an environmentally friendly and sustainable mild fish that can carry many flavor profiles and works well in a variety of dishes. With fans and critics either singing its praises or bashing it, one must ask the question: Is tilapia really a garbage fish?

When it comes to easy-to-prepare, delicious seafood, it's hard to beat shrimp. The crustaceans' flavor is mild, containing a pleasant sweetness accompanied by just a touch of fishiness. So as long as you don't under season — one of the main shrimp cooking mistakes to avoid — you'll be rewarded with a tasty result. And especially for grilled shrimps, one of the best ways to enhance flavor is with a sauce. You'll have so many classic seafood sauce styles to choose from: think a classic soft and decadent butter-baste, a tangy spritz of citrus, or a dollop of spicy peppery-goodness. Feeling indecisive about the exact kind of flavor vibe? Put it all together, and craft a spicy lemon garlic butter sauce.

Nothing beats freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whether you're making lemonade, flavoring seafood, or adding delicious tangy notes to a dessert, you'll never regret opting for fresh juice over the bottled alternative. However, some people steer clear of real lemons because they feel like no matter how hard they squeeze, they never get enough juice. If you don't feel confident in your juicing abilities, real lemons might feel like they aren't worth the cost or the effort.

Whether you prefer penne or fettuccine, a hearty plate of pasta with Alfredo sauce always hits the spot after a long day. Tasty as is or made more filling with steamed broccoli or strips of crispy breaded chicken, the star of this comforting dish is its rich, creamy sauce. Despite the fact that Olive Garden's signature Alfredo sauce used to be shrouded in secrecy, the savory stuff is generally straightforward in terms of its ingredients, which include butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings and herbs like parsley. However, it can still be deceptively difficult to get right. Besides flavor, of course, the sign of a restaurant-worthy cream sauce usually comes down to consistency; Alfredo sauce shouldn't be so thick that it's unappetizingly goopy or so thin that it can't cling to pasta properly.

When you look at the ingredients list for homemade ice cream in a bag, most of them make sense to the logical human brain: milk or half-and-half, sugar, the flavorings of your choice, and ice? Yep. All that makes sense. Rock salt? Nope. Not so much. The plastic bag you place inside the coffee can? Ditto. Why do you need both the bag AND the can for heaven's sake? Despite some of the parts of this equation seeming illogical, all components play a role when you're making ice cream without an ice cream maker. It comes down to science.

Latin America is home to some of the best cuisines on Earth. From the warm beaches of the Caribbean to the chilly peaks of the Andes, each region brings its own natural bounties, and each nation its own unique dishes. The concept of picking national dishes is a bit of a controversial one, however. After all, how can you pick just one singular plate to represent an entire nation's culinary identity and history? It's asking quite a lot. Complicating matters is the fact that there isn't any official body that decides national dishes for the world.

Even the most punctilious pantry hawks and fastidious fridge-cleaner-outers among us likely have a bottle of BBQ sauce that's been sitting around longer than they'd care to admit. Right up there with dry goods like flour and sugar, and other relatively long-lasting pantry staples like peanut butter and mustard, BBQ sauce is one of those condiments that seems like it might never go bad. Since most store-bought versions have preservatives, the tangy sweet sauce typically doesn't develop obvious signs of rot (like spots of mold) easily, but to be sure, even this seemingly indestructible product has its limits.
