The perfect roasted potato is a study in contrasts: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and bursting with hot, concentrated spud flavor. Yet attaining this nirvana of a side dish seems like a fool's journey, full of potential limp and watery pieces — or at least, nothing that crackles when you bite into it.

Secret Ingredients You Need To Start Adding To Roasted Potatoes

Let's be honest: The names of beef cuts are often confusing. From sirloin to strip steak to ribeye and eye of round, it's all too easy to mix up different parts of the animal. Yet if you know the specifics of a certain cut, you can unlock marvelous meat magic. One of the best examples of such hidden potential is the chuck flap, also known simply as flap meat and the edge roast.

Chuck Flap: The Rich Beef Cut You Need To Try Slow-Cooking

Softened or "room temperature" butter is an essential ingredient in baking, typically creamed with sugar as the first step in making cakes, slices, muffins, and cookies. It's also a crucial element in creating deliciously fluffy buttercream frosting. But as any home baker will know, transforming a rock hard block of butter into something more squidgy is easier said than done. Soften the butter too little, and it won't blend with the sugar, ultimately creating dense and heavy bakes. Soften it too much, on the other hand, and it will give you a greasy, loose batter with a flat, soggy result.

Anthony Bourdain knew a thing or two about beef. Even after his death in 2018, the chef, author, and world traveler is a guiding light for many home cooks looking to level up their culinary game (or simply look cooler when ordering at restaurants). His opinions on food hold some serious weight with foodies worldwide, and everything from his favorite fast food burger (In-N-Out's Double Double) to his favorite Parisian restaurant (Le Dôme Café) have been recorded as gospel.

For here or to go? When it comes to pizza, Mountain Mike’s believes there’s no wrong answer. The 279-unit pizza franchise founded in 1978 near Stanford University has always courted dine-in customers. Its restaurants feature TVs, arcade games, a pizza buffet and a salad bar. It offers beer and wine. And it’s not uncommon to see an entire Little League baseball team file in for a meal.

Cranking up the grill is one of the best ways to cook — you don't need to worry about a messy kitchen or turning the oven on when it's a hot day. Plus, there is something about that slightly-charred flavor that adds a new element when cooking up some burgers. But there is some technique involved, so you have to know exactly how to do it if you want to grill like a master. Otherwise, you could be left with burgers that are too cooked on the outside and raw in the middle, or just overly dry throughout.

What's The Best Temperature To Grill Burgers At, Really?

Adding a crispy crust to any cake you bake will complement its soft, moist crumb perfectly, creating next-level texture. You can achieve this ever-so-delicate crunch by dusting a greased cake pan with sugar instead of flour. Swapping out flour for sugar produces a lacy caramelized layer — somewhat similar to a lace tuile — that's light enough to slice through easily with a spoon.

Pizza is easily one of the reigning champs of leftovers since forever; easy to grab the next day and enjoy cold straight out of the fridge (as some may prefer), or popped in the microwave to get warmed back up. But for those who argue that warm is better and routinely gravitate toward the microwave as their method of choice, there's a better way — and it's sitting right on your countertop.

Irish whiskey is a backbar mainstay in the U.S. — where would we be without shots of Jamo?

Oxtail is one of the most delicious cuts of beef, offering a rich, savory flavor on par with short ribs, but at a more affordable price. It also happens to be one of the most underrated cuts of beef. This is partly due to the fact that it's difficult to find oxtail at supermarkets and butcher shops, largely because each cow yields very little of it. Unfortunately, oxtail also suffers from its reputation as a tough cut riddled with chewy connective tissue. This isn't nearly as big of an issue as some might think, though. To prove it, Chowhound sought advice from James Beard Award-winning chef Kwame Onwuachi, who is hosting a block party with Guinness on August 24 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Domino Park.

There's an undeniable magic to a delicious bite of sushi. Whether it's the meaty delight of fresh tuna, or the melt-in-your-mouth nature of fatty salmon, raw fish impresses. Yet, especially for newcomers, it can be hard to shake the fear of sampling the food without cooking. After all, the idea of a parasite in the flesh — with its off-putting worm-like form — is enough to function as a deterrent. Thankfully, no need to worry; there are precautions in place. You've likely seen the sushi-grade label at the store, a sign it's not a complete gamble regarding what's good to eat.
