It only takes a couple of hours, give or take, for a deli-fresh rotisserie chicken to go from under-the-warming-lamp hot to icebox frigid. How long it takes for it to go from cold to spoiled is an entirely different question. Although stashing your leftover bird in the fridge does slow down the bacteria colony that's trying to set up shop in your chillbox, it doesn't completely prevent it from becoming tomorrow's science experiment. After your rotisserie chicken goes in the fridge, you have three or four days to eat it before time's up.

Here's How Long Rotisserie Chicken Lasts In The Fridge

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. The chef, who was also the owner, had lived in France and taught me to make several authentic French dishes. This one, called a pan bagnat, opened my eyes to a whole different way to sandwich.

Making coffee or espresso drinks can be as simple or complicated as you'd like it to be. It's easy enough to load coffee grounds into a drip coffee maker, takes a bit more effort to grind your own beans and work a French press, and greater proficiency is required to start steaming milk for lattes or flat whites. Lattes also open new avenues to the trickiest knack of all: latte art. This unique form of expression is made by skillfully and deliberately pouring steamed milk onto the espresso to form patterns and designs. In time, you'll be showing off your artistic talent, however, if you're just starting out, your latte art is more likely to resemble a Rorschach test than a tulip.

When I was growing up, egg salad was for road trips. My mother was an excellent cook, and knew how to save time and money when preparing meals. So when it came time to drive across the state to visit grandma and grandpa in Iowa, egg salad sandwiches were packed. I still feel the warm air whooshing in the open window of the old Chevy as I bite into a creamy egg salad sandwich.

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

No matter the occasion, you can't go wrong with cake. From wedding cakes to birthday cakes (a tradition that began with the ancient Romans), the frosted and fluffy dessert is fit for all sorts of special celebrations. However, baking one from scratch is a bit complicated. Achieving a soft, moist texture can be tricky for even the most experienced bakers. As it turns out, a lot can go wrong when making a cake. Accidentally over-mixing the batter can result in a dense crumb structure while baking it for too long can dry it out. Even a dark pan can mess up your carefully calculated math, causing cake batter to heat too quickly or unevenly. Fortunately, there's a special technique you can use to add moisture to cakes after they come out of the oven, taking your dessert from dry to delectable.
