Contestants on Hell's Kitchen are trained to prepare mise en place and menu items, and they receive recipe books to memorize and practice before the competition.

Potato sprouts contain compounds (specifically glycoalkaloids like solanine and chaconine), which stick in the potatoes' skin and become toxic in the body when consumed in large quantities, leading to an upset stomach or indigestion. However, it's worth noting that potatoes already contain glycoalkaloids - the compound is just more concentrated in the sprouts.

Usually an item like this is fairly expensive. That has been my experience with store-bought muffins. They either dry out or can get moldy.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), all ground meat, as well as poultry (even those with longer expiration dates) should be used or frozen within the first 48 hours of coming home from the store. Raw steaks, pork chops, and roasts can go a bit longer, at three to five days.

Baking time and temperature are dependent on the type of cake you're making. A dense, heavier, and moister fruitcake is going to need to be baked longer and at a higher temperature than angel food cake, which you don't want to brown.

Think of it this way: You're not making a salad with eggs - you're making an egg salad with complementary, highlighting ingredients. Besides messing with the flavor of your bite, going overboard with mix-ins can also spell trouble for the texture of your egg salad. If you aren't adding enough binding ingredients to support your mix-ins, you could be dealing with a salad that doesn't hold together on a sandwich and a mouthfeel that feels discombobulated rather than cohesive.

Eggs cook so quickly, you aren't going to save any time by cooking them in large batches and then heating some up each morning. In the time it would take to reheat them, you could just cook a fresh batch.

Whether donning an apron at home or in a Michelin-starred restaurant, pretty much everyone agrees on the merits of cooking with cast-iron pans. They've been around for generations, passed down like an heirloom and fired up for all kinds of meals, from everyday comfort food to special company-is-coming fare. But there's one thing that needs to be acknowledged: it's not ideal for everything - specifically, cooking eggs.

Freezing seafood seems like it should be a two-step process: open freezer, put fish in, but it's deceptively unforgiving. Fish and shellfish are mostly water (just like us!), with delicate muscle fibers and comparatively low connective tissue, which means small mistakes in freezing technique have noticeable quality consequences once thawed. Unlike red meat, which has a dense structure and intramuscular fat to buffer damage, seafood can't hide any missteps,

While some recent viral hacks suggest placing the chicken in a sealable plastic bag and to essentially smash it apart, this is neither efficient nor effective. Carefully separating the meat from the bones while your rotisserie chicken is still hot is the most logical choice, since everything is still fairly pliable; once the chicken cools and the fats congeal, it's considerably more difficult.

But there's no need to fear, as one simple baking tool can help you get perfect poached eggs every time: silicone cupcake liners. These liners can fit a single egg each and will allow it to gently simmer in the water without actually touching it. Once your eggs are loaded into the liners, place them in a water bath and cover with a lid.
