If you've ever wanted to sip on a minty mojito or energizing espresso martini without having to make one yourself, canned cocktails may be a worthwhile buy. As one of the latest trendy additions to appear in the supermarket's alcohol aisle, convenient ready-made refreshments are a saving grace for last-minute gatherings and late nights. Throwing a party and want to serve fancy drinks without taking on the role of a full-time bartender? Canned alcoholic beverages are easy to elevate and come in enough flavors to fill a drink menu, so you won't have a hard time finding a pre-mixed version of your preferred bar order. But besides choosing the best options and classing them up, there's another step you should always take when serving ready-to-drink cocktails.

Store-bought ham is a life-saver for many cooks and eaters alike. Not only do you get a huge amount of tasty pork at a budget-friendly price, but most of it also comes pre-cooked, making preparation a breeze (roasting pre-cooked pork is easier than cooking the fresh version from scratch). The only caveat is ending up with an overly salty ham. Thankfully, there's an easy fix: soaking it in water.

The Soaking Trick To Fix Salty Store-Bought Ham

Some like it smothered in a robust Bolognese or tossed with a simple fresh tomato sauce. Others like it swirled in a creamy spinach sauce or mixed with pungent garlic and anchovies.

While Costco's hot dog remains exempt from this rule (hopefully forever), the adage has held true for many of the wholesaler's most beloved food court offerings, from the churro to the Polish dog.

Some cuts of steak are so tender that they practically melt in your mouth, while others are tough enough that chewing them turns into a jaw workout. To even the playing field so every cut of beef gets a chance to shine, cooks have developed different methods of tenderizing meat.

Potatoes are some of the world's most versatile vegetables, gifting us a long list of mouthwatering snacks and side dishes (french fries and mashed potatoes, looking at you). And there's something particularly satisfying about biting into a crunchy roast spud, which is where hasselback potatoes come in. This famously crispy variation involves cutting slits along the length of the potato, almost the entire way through, to create a unique, fan-like shape, then baking it cut side up, at a high heat. Using this technique creates a greater surface area for oil and other ingredients to be absorbed, resulting in a spud that's deliciously crunchy on the outside, and delightfully fluffy on the inside.
