6 Foods You Should Never Cook in the Air Fryer

Summertime should be a time of ease. While my childhood is way behind me, along with its long summer days of freedom, I still do my best to take it easy. This means taking vacations when I can, having afternoon beers, spending more time outdoors, and spending less time cooking and cleaning indoors.

The 4-Ingredient Cucumber Salad I Can’t Stop Making

You've embraced the classic self-care tradition of ordering a large, everything pizza from your favorite local joint as a way to unwind after a stressful week. Despite your best efforts, you still end up with a refrigerator full of leftovers. You don't want to let them go to waste, but getting that perfect crust and close-to-fresh bite again can prove incredibly challenging: The crust is too soggy, the cheese gets too crispy, and the toppings just aren't ideal even after some time in the oven. But with a little kitchen know-how, you can reheat your pizza with the help of water for the closest-to-fresh bite possible.

A Spoonful Of Water Is Your Secret Weapon For Reheating Pizza

Use a small, sharp knife to make crosswise cuts into fat on pork chops at 1/2- to 1-inch intervals without slicing into the meat. Pat the chops dry; sprinkle with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chops to the pan in a single layer; cook, pressing down on the chops often and flipping once, until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 140°F, 4 to 6 minutes per side (adjust heat as needed to prevent overbrowning). Transfer the pork chops to a large rimmed plate and keep warm. (Let rest for 5 minutes; the internal temperature will continue to rise to 145°F.) Discard all but 1 teaspoon of the drippings in the skillet.

How to Reheat Burgers So They Taste Like They Just Came off the Grill — Chef’s Method

Homemade chicken and dumplings have comforted hungry tummies for centuries, with one of the earlier mentions of the dish appearing in 1879 in the cookbook "Housekeeping in Old Virginia" by Marion Cabell Tyree. Given that the chicken in the recipe simmered for hours, the resulting dish probably tasted sufficiently succulent and was worth the time one spent cooling the proverbial heels. Fortunately for 21st-century chicken and dumpling lovers, there's a quicker way to make it that tastes every bit as delish as its predecessor without the wait.

The Canned Shortcut For Ridiculously Easy Chicken And Dumplings

Dive into the heart of Cajun cuisine as we unveil the art of crafting the perfect jambalaya. This traditional Southern dish begins with a hot pan and the creation of a roux, a blend of flour and oil that's crucial for its rich flavor. Achieving a deep, dark brown color is key to the dish's signature taste. We combine the Holy Trinity of Cajun cooking: onion, celery, and bell pepper, sautéed in the roux to infuse flavors. Adding tomatoes, thyme, garlic, and a pinch of cayenne pepper, we sauté briefly before introducing washed rice. Gradually, chicken stock is stirred in, allowing the rice to absorb the robust flavors. Seasoned generously with salt and pepper, the mixture is set to bake, while skewered sausage and chicken take a dip in a marinade of olive oil, paprika, and seasonings. Laid out on a grill, the meats are roasted to perfection, dripping their savory juices onto the vegetables below. Finally, we prep the shrimp, deveining and tapping it to enhance the dish.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Pork tenderloin is one of our favorite cuts; it's tasty, tender, and affordable. We love it roasted, stuffed and roasted, or grilled—and that's just a few of the ways we like to cook a tenderloin whole. We also use this versatile piece of meat cut up, whether sliced into medallions, cubed for sautés or stews, or sliced thin for stir fry. Pork tenderloin is lean and has a mild taste, so it takes well to all kinds of seasoning, from a spice rub for roasting to a creamy sauce for stovetop preparation.
