Every time I cook meat, my whole apartment fills with smoke… Any tips? I have an electric stove and have tried using both cast iron and stainless steel pans, but my place still gets super smoky. What can I do?

I can’t be the only one who didn’t know this! Tonight, I was prepping fajitas and wanted to warm my tortillas without using the microwave (which I find makes them a bit doughy). So, I turned my electric burner to high and quickly toasted them instead. What a game changer! I can’t be the only…

What are some meal ideas for sweltering summer days? I’m currently staying at a caravan park in South Africa, and let me tell you, there’s no air conditioning and it’s scorching hot! My family keeps pressuring me to cook, and since we’re neighbors, saying no just leads to some grumbling. I’m not keen on spending…

It feels like they abandoned the app. I tend to stick with traditional, old-fashioned cooking methods, much like my grandma did, and I love…

I recently purchased a dehydrator! What are some exciting foods I should experiment with drying out first?

Oven-baked Southern BBQ-style chicken, anyone? A couple of months ago, I visited Nashville and tried one of the most incredible BBQ platters ever. It featured a ridiculously juicy, tender chicken leg that practically fell off the bone, seasoned with a delicious dry rub. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to recreate that masterpiece in…

Air Fryer Rotisserie Shawarma? I’m not sure this would turn out well unless you keep removing it to slice off the outer layers and then putting it back in. Doesn’t that seem like the way to go? What do you think?
