Broiling is a cooking method that uses intense, direct heat from the oven's top element to sear and brown food quickly. It's particularly effective for creating a crispy finish on top of casseroles (think a nice, crunchy macaroni and cheese crust) or even quickly cooking a perfect steak. This high-heat process, however, can easily lead to overcooked or burnt dishes if not closely monitored. One effective way to prevent this is by leaving the oven door slightly ajar while broiling.

Why You Should Keep Your Oven Door Open While Broiling

A freezer may be a couponer or impulse buyer's best friend for its impressive storage capabilities, but it doesn't make a suitable home for all types of food. In fact, it can have the opposite effect of preservation by inducing freezer burn or completely altering a food's physical state after thawing.

Growing up, I’ll admit, I was tuna-salad-averse. The tuna salad of my childhood was heavy on the mayo, full of unexpected chunks of celery, and light on salt.

Part of the allure of a glass stove top is the sleek, clean look it brings to any kitchen. In many ways, the glass tops that are common on electric and induction stoves are easier to clean than grate tops. The smooth surface makes it easy to brush away crumbs and then wipe down. The downside, though, is that glass tops are prone to scratches and can easily be ruined if not cleaned correctly.

Classic Caesar salad may look less colorful and busy than a regular house salad, but it packs a wallop of tangy, creamy, umami (not salty!) flavor you don't find in other salads. A Caesar typically contains only romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croutons, and the eponymous dressing — a simple lineup. Obviously, the dressing is where the flavor lives in a Caesar, but if you've ever bought a bottle of it at the store hoping to replicate the intense, savory experience you got at a restaurant, you've probably been disappointed.

Every once in a while, you may run into a restaurant that serves house-made potato chips as a side, rather than the more traditional option of french fries or mashed potatoes.
