Click here An Organized Kitchen Is Just a Plastic Shoebox AwayIt's no secret that we enjoy order and organization in the kitchen here at Serious Eats. This is an article about some plastic boxes Senior Culinary Editor Sasha Marx likes using for storing fresh produce and dried goods. It's pretty exciting stuff! Try to keep it cool, and let him tell you about these particular shoeboxes from The Container Store. (And no, this is not an ad.) These boxes have a lot going for them. They're simple, affordable, stackable, come in a variety of sizes, and are very versatile. Use them for holding zipper-lock bags of cleaned greens, unwashed whole vegetables, or layers of produce separated by kitchen or paper towels. With some painter's tape and a Sharpie, they keep produce neatly organized and at easy reach in the fridge. And the same goes for dried goods as well. More editors' picks |

Build a better bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito
No images? Click here Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast BurritoWe salute whoever first had the idea to stuff all of breakfast into a single, large flour tortilla (credit, in case you're curious, seems to go to New Mexico's Tia Sophia's restaurant, which put a "breakfast burrito" on their menu in the 1970s). With that one creative innovation, an entire morning meal can be eaten using just one hand, potentially on the go—though let's be honest, a good one is likely to create enough of a mess to make it less portable than your average breakfast sandwich. Making a good breakfast burrito involves a few key techniques used here, in addition to the specific way of layering the components. First, we pre-salt the eggs, which we've demonstrated before leads to more tender results. They sit while the potatoes cook, which is just long enough for the salt to work its magic on the egg proteins. More ways to enjoy eggs |

An introduction to Korean cooking in recipes
For those looking to get started at home No images? Click here An Introduction to Korean Cooking in RecipesThe Korean diaspora is vast: 6.5 million scattered around the globe, from Uzbekistan to Brazil. Just as diasporic Koreans carry a range of food memories from different eras and regions, different communities incorporate local ingredients in different ways, and everyone’s grandmother has her own take on the best everyday kimchi: which vegetables to use, how spicy or fishy it should be, and how long it should ferment. (There are even—yes—Koreans who don’t like kimchi.) In creating this guide, Sonja Swanson set out to include dishes that serve as culinary touchstones—ones that most Koreans would recognize as being, well, Korean. Korean families might quibble with the inclusion of a dish here and there, but if you’re looking to become more familiar or reacquainted with Korean cuisine, the list of dishes described below is a good place to begin. Think of it as a starter pack. Essential Korean Dishes |
