Make this collection work for you

  • Give slow-cooked beef time to become fork-tender rather than stopping at the first safe temperature reading.
  • Undercook noodles slightly before they go into a casserole.
  • Mix meatloaf and quick-bread batters gently for a tender texture.
  • Let baked fruit desserts cool briefly so their juices thicken before serving.
