"Consumers want healthy foods, but at the time of purchase, cravings often prevail. The high oil content adds flavor, but it also contains a lot of energy and calories."

The 15-minute rule is a foolproof method for making gourmet smash burgers, allowing the fat to solidify and preventing overcooking.

To create cinnamon roses, fold the dough in half, cut into strips, twist them together, and roll up like tape. The result is a beautiful floral shape.

Straight from the oven, monkey bread is defined by sweet, buttery flavors and occasionally, a hint of cinnamon warmth. Anything other than that, and you'd have to branch out into other unique ingredients that make monkey bread more irresistible. Of course, you can turn to what's already inside your own kitchen. Just open the fridge and grab that trusty packet of bacon, and all of a sudden, you've got a new, interesting take on monkey bread.

If you look for recipes for cooking bacon in the oven, many recommend lining a baking sheet with foil and placing the cooling rack on top. Then, bacon is arranged on the rack. The idea here is that the fat will drip from the bacon onto the baking sheet and you'll get a crispier, less greasy end product. What you also get is a bigger mess to clean up.

Scrub kosher salt into the surface of your stainless steel pan, says Wirecutter, citing the French Culinary Institute: This is 'a hack to create a slippery surface,' by filling in all the little microscopic cracks and ridges in the surface of the pan, so that you can cook eggs in the pan and they will not stick.

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.

Essentially milk that has been reduced to eliminate most of its water content, evaporated milk is a thick, creamy, slightly sweet dairy alternative that has a 2-year long shelf life. But its uses go far beyond replacing a glass of milk. The ingredient is your secret weapon to richer, fluffier pancakes. Due to its lower moisture content, evaporated milk will create an especially thick pancake batter that helps trap air bubbles, resulting in a lighter, fluffier, and taller pancake.

In our collective minds, pepperoni has only ever been a pizza topping. For so long now, it's been infinitely tethered to molten cheese, blistered crust, and greasy fingers, so much so that we forget there are still many creative ways to use pepperoni beyond pizza. At times, it even shows up in dishes you least expect. At 7 in the morning, amidst the repetitive spin of cooking up yet another omelet, this American salami is the surprising twist that makes breakfast a whole lot better.

Garten's recipe only needs four ingredients - eggs, mustard, dill, and bread.

Fresh eggs: You'll use two large eggs per ramekin. Butter or oil: This creates a rich base that prevents sticking. For a dairy-free version, substitute with olive oil. Optional toppings: I like adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to each dish for best flavor. Baking dishes: Small ramekins or ceramic dishes work best. I use 5-inch ramekins that are just the right size for two eggs.
