There’s an old adage that says that the 100 folds in a chef’s hat (or toque) represent the 100 different ways a chef should know how to prepare eggs. Despite going to culinary school and working in restaurants for the early part of my career, I max out at about 30 egg preparations from the classic French omelette to luxurious eggs en cocotte.

The fluffy, steamy interior of a baked potato is the perfect canvas for some rich butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and all the other seasonings of your choice. While it's a tempting starch to whip up for dinner, and one of the simplest recipes out there, it's still not necessarily the quickest recipe in the book. By the time you finish prepping your potato, heating the oven, and finally start cooking the spud, you might not even be hungry anymore. Well this is exactly the type of job that microwaves were made for, so the next time you're craving a baked potato, skip the oven and use this handy kitchen gadget instead.

The Correct Way To Cook A Potato In The Microwave Couldn't Be Easier

Rotisserie chicken is a fast and easy way to add protein to your meal prep routine. According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

These fried pork chops are so simple and have great flavor. We love them with my husbands famous mashed potatoes and a steamed vegetable. If there are ever any left-overs, they would be great to use in a stir-fry.

Steak fries are large, thick potato wedges, filling enough to be a meal in itself. These roasted potato/french fry hybrids are easy to make at home but sometimes end up more floppy and soggy than desired. Sure, you can deep fry them for a foolproof method for crispy fries, but the thought of standing over hot, bubbling oil and cleaning a messy fryer — particularly the annoying task of dealing with the leftover oil — is enough to deter even the biggest steak fry fan. A cleaner, easier method for making legitimately crispy french fries at home is to bake them in the oven — just make sure to use cornstarch to get them nice and crunchy.

Pasta is a dinnertime staple; it's easy, filling, and generally affordable to make. Plus, it comes together quickly, so it's perfect for those busy weeknights when you didn't plan ahead. Enjoying pasta at a restaurant is great, but making it at home lets you build the versatile dish however you want — even with a little seafood for extra flavor and protein. Shrimp is a perfect addition to pasta; it cooks quickly and offers a high-protein alternative to the usual grilled chicken, provided you avoid certain mistakes when cooking it.

Sweet or sour, cherries are a fruit lover's dream. Between their ruby red color and juicy flesh, fresh cherries are delicious on their own as a snack and just as tasty when par-cooked for the perfect pie filling or turned into maraschino cherries for cocktail garnishes. The main con of cooking or eating them is dealing with the pesky pits. Along with peaches and plums, cherries are classified as a stone fruit, aptly named for the hard and inedible seed-shielding pit at their center. The hand-staining and time-consuming process of removing these small stones can be annoying even with a dedicated pitter. And sometimes, cherry pits can accidentally slip through.
