The challenge: I know it’s hands-free cooking, but why wouldn’t I just make something in my Dutch oven in a fourth the time? Our solution: Trust us—some food does fare better with even, gentle, long, low heat. Brisket is a prime example. It’ll take you about three to four hours of oven or stovetop braising […]
The challenge: I always end up with soup. Where does all that liquid come from? Our solution: Understand that anything you put in the slow cooker will release liquid as it cooks, and there’s no way for that liquid to evaporate off. If you’re not careful, you will indeed end up with soup. Sometimes, it’s […]
The challenge: The flavors are always too bland. Our solution: It’s true that the long, slow cooking period mellows flavors. But bold spices, in bold amounts, will hold their own over time. Here, we start with big flavor from a good amount of curry paste and fish sauce, and we finish with fresh touches of […]
Milanese is Italian for “breaded and sautéed until golden,” an easy (and fast) way to dress up sliced pork tenderloin. Top the pork with a creamy mushroom sauce and serve with a simple kale salad for a complete meal. Golden raisins have a way of elevating everything they touch; try stirring into rice pilaf or […]

Patients with chronic migraines suffer from as much social stigma as people with epilepsy, according to a study conducted by researchers from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Rutgers University and published in the journal PLOS ONE. Social stigma refers to people experiencing social disapproval because they are different, whether visibly (such as from a physical mark) […]
Hot and cold baths have been used for centuries and some of the benefits they bring include: increased energy, increased circulation, detoxification, and the clearing of negative energy. An easy way to replicate the spa experience of alternating hot and cold baths, and the primal experience of jumping from hot springs to cold rivers, is […]
Cold laser therapy is a new procedure with seemingly lots of advantages. It is non-invasive, which means that no surgery is required. There isn’t any kind of a prolonged recovery time you have to worry about, like you would with a traditional surgery. You don’t have to take any medications, and lots of patients would […]
Some of the common practices seen in modern medicine are not quite as effective as commonly believed, and oxygen therapy for heart attack patients could be one of them as newly presented research has shown that oxygen therapy does not improve the survival rate of patients who have heart attack symptoms. The study’s lead author, […]
