How I Found the Right Big Appliances for My Tiny Kitchen — The Smart Appliance Shopper

It’s ironic that living in one of the biggest cities in the world means having teeny-tiny appliances. I suppose it makes its own kind of sense — I reside on the island of Manhattan, a 23-square-mile strip of land that I share with more than 1.6 million other people. Space is tight, which means, among other things, that I didn’t own a dishwasher until about a year ago, even though I’ve been a grown-up with a job and a career for some time now.

Borrow a Chinese Cooking Technique to Make the Tastiest Tortellini — Quick Tortellini Dinners

Keep a bag of frozen tortellini tucked away in your freezer and you can rest easy knowing that a quick meal is always at the ready. This series on fast tortellini dinners will show you how to transform frozen tortellini into dinner using pantry staples and a few surprising techniques. Pasta sauce is just the beginning!

The best part of potstickers is the crispy, cracker-like bottom they get from being seared in the pan before steaming; it’s one of the many reasons we keep a bag stashed in the freezer. In this tiny recipe we’re giving tortellini, another freezer staple, the same treatment — pan-frying it and then tossing with veggies and sauce. And you thought pasta night was getting a little predictable!

As a former food editor at Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine (now Rachael Ray Every Day), I can say I’ve become quite intimate with Rachael’s cooking both at work and in my own kitchen.

Recipe: Sweet and Spicy Braised Cabbage — Electric Pressure-Cooker Recipes from Laura Pazzaglia

(Image credit: Karla Conrad)

How long does it take to braise cabbage until tender and translucent in the oven? One hour. In the pressure cooker? Five minutes of pressure-cooking time — or 15 minutes from start to finish. Pressure cooking will not only cook vegetables faster, but compared to conventional boiling and braising, it retains more vitamins and minerals, too. Make this side dish of sweet and spicy braised cabbage the next time you want a flavorful companion to any roast meat.

Here’s Why You Should Throw a Homecoming Party for Your New Appliances — Big Appliance, Big Welcome

A few days before this past Thanksgiving, my parents got all new appliances in their kitchen. As the person who does all of the cooking for the holiday, I was a little annoyed. And by “a little annoyed,” I mean almost rant-y. “Why would they get new stuff (that no one knows how to operate) right before the biggest cooking holiday of the year?” I asked my husband.

Tuesdays can easily become the best day of the week when there are tacos involved. And dinner is always easier when you know it’s something the whole crew looks forward to. Beyond the signature dish itself, though, it’s nice to have a side dish or two to round out the meal. We rounded up a few of our favorite slaws, salads, and rice dishes that pair perfectly with any and all tacos (and margaritas, too).
