Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

FDA Announces Recall on Salmon Sold in 7 States Due To Potential Listeria Contamination

Always cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F to kill harmful bacteria. Use a food thermometer to check the thickest part of the fillet—the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Store fresh salmon in the coldest part of your refrigerator (below 40°F) and use within 1-2 days of purchase. If you won’t use it right away, freeze it immediately to maintain quality and safety.
