This is the most useful cooking information I've read since I learned how to cook salmon (like 2 years ago?). Thank you from someone who cooks food. ❤️

Just prepared turkey for tacos using this method …..brilliant! So much tastier than the way I’ve made it for decades. Thank you for your all your techniques & cooking suggestions.

Seems like patience is the key and just letting the meat cook and do it's thing. Great hack.

That is some really great advice, I will definitely try this the next time I'm working on a recipe. Keep up the good work!

I love your attention to detail! I care about these things too and can’t finish a sentence about it before my husband gives me a look and calls me a nerd. 😂 So now I have this Substack for all the nerdery. Can’t wait to try the recipe, Aldi’s ground lamb is a staple at my house!

Browning the meat worked perfectly. However, the rice took much longer to get tender (I've had a similar issue with a recipe from I Dream of Dinner). I'm following the recipe closely -- what am I doing wrong?!

Same here for the rice. Took twice as long. I can’t figure it out!

This is THE CONTENT I NEED!! Thank you. I've always been frustrated by my mediocre ground meat browning and assumed it was a me problem. But NO!

Can't wait to try it.

I marched straight home after work and made this recipe and LOVED it! Amazingly I had every ingredient in the house. I used ground chicken and next time I’ll do this with lamb because it will be even better. What a fabulous and truly “Ali Slagle” this technique is! A keeper to have on repeat.
