Just a handful of full-time recipe developers create nearly 1,000 new recipes for Food Network Magazine and FoodNetwork.com each year. That’s a whole lot of cooking and eating, so it’s always our goal to be efficient, clever and creative in the kitchen. You’ll find that style and attitude come through in our recipes, but there are some super-helpful tricks we think you should keep in your back pocket at all times. Since shouting them from rooftops seems futile, we’ve laid them all out here.
