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.

I was working the soups and sauces station at a popular restaurant in the late '80s when the chef handed me a recipe to make as the special of the day.

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.

Ranking Canned Corn Brands Worst To Best

In my opinion, countries that are devoted to the world of canned sardines, mackerel, tuna, and trout are on to something big and beautiful.

But fish fanatics be warned: There are still plenty of duds hiding amongst the cans.

There are lots of different ways to improve a steak or a chicken breast, and if you've never experimented much with them, they tend to blend together like a bunch of spices. If you've never brined meat, then the word "brine" might bring up associations with pickles or the ocean, but soaking tough meat in a brine solution is a tried and true way to add flavor and moisture. A typical brine mixture consists of cold water, salt, and a little sugar (the water should be cold or lukewarm to avoid any accidental cooking). When you let meat soak in brine, a process called osmosis begins, and the flavors and moisture from the solution pass into the meat.

Leave it to Ree Drummond to prove that she doesn't need an expensive egg pan to make a perfectly moist omelet. Instead, she need only gather her ingredients, a pot of boiling water, and a simple zip-top bag. And in case you're wondering, no, she doesn't boil the omelet to make it so tender and moist, at least, not directly. Instead, the zip-top bag and the hot water work in tandem to cook the omelet. She demonstrated how she does it on her Food Network show, "The Pioneer Woman."

Perhaps you're one of the many people who've switched from milk to dark chocolate because the latter has less sugar and more antioxidants. But before you tear into that candy bar or hit the kitchen to start cooking up a homemade treat (like our salted caramel recipe), there's something you should know. Your dark chocolate may be hiding an even darker secret. It's known to contain two heavy metals — cadmium and lead — that can cause harmful health effects. Pregnant people and children are at higher risk.

Cherries are one of America's most popular fruits. According to the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center, the average person eats more than 2 pounds of this shiny, red fruit every year. The secret to the cherry's popularity lies in its sweet, slightly sour flavor, which can be enjoyed in a number of different forms, including fresh, frozen, dried, and juiced. Despite its widespread adoration, little attention is ever given to the cherry pit. And while we'd strongly advise against eating this rock hard shell, which protects the seed at the fruit's center (you can get the full story here on what happens if you accidentally swallow a cherry pit here), it can, in fact, be safely used to infuse other ingredients — like whipped cream.
