For those of us who want to save money this year, eating out less at restaurants and cooking from scratch is a good place to start.
Even before the cost of living crisis hit, people seemed to be more interested in cooking at home ever since the impact of the pandemic lockdowns.
The phrase 'cooking tips' has seen a huge increase of 171 per cent in Google searches within the past year, Wales Online reports, but it can be difficult to work out if certain tips actually work or if they're just myths.
To help dispel some of these myths and misconceptions, experts at Wren Kitchens commissioned some research around the most popular ones that Brits believe to be true.
From washing your chicken before cooking it, to whether or not you should keep bread in the fridge, here are some popular culinary opinions debunked by the experts.
Mushrooms never need to be rinsed
Fully soaking your mushrooms before cooking can make them slimy to the touch.
But you should still clean them gently to remove any soil or dirt that may be coating the outside, since they've been grown in the ground. You can do this by wiping the tops with a damp paper towel.
Marinades make meat more tender
This isn't true - the marinade will likely change the meat's flavour, but it won't have much of an effect on the texture.
This is because marinades rarely reach the meat too far below the surface.
However, highly acidic marinades can loosen the protein connections on the surface of the meat. If the amount of acid in your marinade is too high, it could have the opposite effect.

As an alternative to make your drink nice and cold, try using frozen fruit

Although trans rights are now the subject of a simmering culture war in America and the U.K., that conflict is largely predicated on the increasing visibility of trans women at a time where self-ID is controversially becoming the norm. Stories of trans men, however, tend to go under the radar, and this remarkable New York-set debut from Chilean-Serbian director Vuk Lungulov-Klotz goes some way to redressing that imbalance. Featuring a pitch-perfect performance from Puerto Rican/Greek actor Lío Mehiel, so far mostly known for the Apple show WeCrashed and a number of shorts, U.S. Dramatic Competition entry Mutt feels like an important but — for reasons about to be explained — perhaps interstitial film in the history of LGBTQ+ cinema, being fully cognizant of the fact that it is set and was made in a between-time that reflects the lead character’s existential sense of limbo.
