If you're cooking up steak on a hot grill or even just searing it in a pan, there's one big mistake you can make: Not letting your steak rest for a few minutes before cutting it or serving it. It's a common tip, since the science behind the benefits of letting steak rest seems fairly settled. More on this in a moment, but the short version is that letting steak rest allows its juices to settle. But perhaps not so settled is the question of how long you need to let that hunk of meat wait before you can serve it.

The Kinder Surprise Egg has been delighting children in many parts of the world since the Italian candy company Ferrero introduced the product in 1974. For the uninitiated, the Kinder Surprise Egg is a chocolate egg that opens up to reveal a plastic capsule with a toy inside. If you're reading this in the U.S., you can't be faulted for not knowing what this treat is since it's banned. Although it is available in both Mexico and Canada.

The business of peeling onions can be cumbersome and messy, leaving a pile of peels strewn all over the kitchen counter. You may want to dispose of these onion skins, which, if left unattended, often flutter about the counter, the floor, and your pantry. Sometimes these can feel like nothing but litter — the discarded remnants of the tasty onion, good only to sweep into the trash bin. However, you shouldn't be too quick to toss out those onion peels, as they can quickly (and with just a little effort) go from food scraps to food seasoning. Yes, with a few extra steps you can turn your onion peels into a delicious onion powder, perfect for sprinkling on any number of dishes.

The Tastiest Way To Use Discarded Onion Peels

Leave it to Martha Stewart to turn a baked potato, which is just about the plainest comfort food you'll ever come across, into a luxury meal that cost $125 per ounce. Let's set the scene. In an Instagram post, Ms. Stewart can be seen doing food prep for a Mother's Day lunch. Before her on the counter, a spread of five baked potatoes languished, waiting to be dressed to serve to the handful of people who'd join her. The spuds would get the usual suspects, butter and sour cream, before the denouement unfolded: a heaping spoonful of Black Diamond Golden Osetra Caviar.

Martha Stewart's Favorite Toppings For Luxury Baked Potatoes

A good bagel needs to be fresh, with a crisp crust and a chewy interior, but that alone won't cut it. You've got to pile on the classic toppings: New York deli cream cheese, some tomatoes, capers, and onions if you're feeling fancy, and of course, a few slices of lox. That's a common order at any bagel shop, and yet, it's technically incorrect. In reality, the popular pink topping we're all calling lox is, in fact, almost never lox.

Lox Vs Smoked Salmon: What's The Difference?

Your next taco Tuesday can get a flavor boost with just a simple ingredient: cornstarch. When making steak specifically for tacos, trying out new dry rubs, experimenting with unusual marinades, and perfecting your grilling technique are all part of the fun. But if you go through the trouble to research a new blend and buy specialty ingredients, you want to know that every bite of your steak will be flavorful and delicious. Fortunately, adding cornstarch to your blend will help the spice adhere evenly to the steak before grilling or roasting. Rather than lumps, you'll get an evenly-coated steak full of rich flavor and texture.

The One Extra Ingredient You Need To Season Steak For Tacos

If you want some classic Tex-Mex nachos, you'd better douse them in creamy, cheesy goodness. Creamy is the key word there, because nobody likes a grainy cheese sauce. You might think nacho cheese sauce is as simple as melting shredded cheese into a bit of water, but if you do that, you'll get exactly the type of texture you want to avoid. That's because cheeses typically don't liquify well.

The Key To Smoother Cheese Sauce Might Be In Your Medicine Cabinet

A complete "backyard cooking set" often has two things: A grill for those beautifully charred thick steaks, ribs, or kebabs, and a smoker for slow-cooking something fragrant and tender like smoked pulled pork. Getting both, however, will put a serious dent in your wallet, especially if you're after the latest and greatest models. Here's the good news for the budget-minded pit masters out there: Your grill can also turn into a smoker in a pinch.

The Hack To Turn Any Grill Into A Smoker

Whether you're planning on whipping up some creamy mashed potatoes or a simple herbed salad, boiling the potatoes first to soften them up is an essential part of these recipes. So, if you're feeling rushed, you might want to pick a different side dish, because boiling takes both time and patience.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
