Unlike other cuts of meat, beef ribs have a lot of cartilage and fat, so everything needs to be cooked low and slow - especially as a full rack.

Washing your new pan is a very important first step to ensure that it's safe to use. During the manufacturing process, the cast iron could have come in contact with dust, debris, and various chemicals or industrial coatings meant to preserve the metal.

Using a warped one is among the worst mistakes you can use with a sheet pan: If the nice, flat pan becomes raised in some places, that's exactly where food will cook or bake unevenly.

In the United States, eggs are usually packed within a week of being laid, but they can legally be sold for 30 days after that packing date. This is called the Julian date, and it's shown by three numbers that represent consecutive days of the year - starting with 001 for January 1.

Hall's oats felt like a parfait with a lovely mix of textures. The presentation was nice, too. Drummond's overnight oats were good, but Fuller's impressed me the most and looked amazing.

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.

So when engineers at The New York Times steered a generative artificial intelligence model to scale our recipes, I worked with them to address common questions that math alone can't answer and create nuanced rules for a range of situations. (How do you halve three whole eggs?) Our recipe editors, all of whom have decades of professional experience, then reviewed rounds of scaled recipes, and the engineers incorporated that feedback into their model to help ensure the best possible outcomes.
