In general, I don’t use nonstick cookware, but there are some instances—such as cooking the perfect over-easy egg, omelettes, and thin pancakes, where nothing else will do. I do not, however, recommend spending a ton of money on one.
You don’t need to pay hundreds of dollars and fine an electrician to install cool lights over your kitchen sink: You just need $16. These OxyLED lights can stick to anything via adhesive or magnetic plates, and the included remote is also magnetized to stick to your fridge.
Buying on Amazon is increasingly an exercise in trust. While the company has taken steps to mitigate the spread ofsponsored product reviews and fake ratings, illegitimate sellers are still finding ways to scam consumers. The latest trick? Gaming Amazon’s popularity ranking system and taking over the “Best Seller”…
Meat is not for everyone. If you didn’t grow up in a meat-eating household, or if you’re a former vegetarian, cooking it can seem a little daunting. It is, however, not that hard to cook, but there are some common concerns people have when they first embark down the path of cooking animals.
A 2014 study by the Human Rights Campaign found that 53 percent of LGBT individuals remain closeted at work. According to Audrey Gallien, Director of Marketing for Catalyst, a workplace inclusion advocacy organization, even when businesses attempt to provide an inclusive environment, individuals “still must face the…
Dogs are fluffy, slobbering, pooping creatures that don’t hesitate to sniff (and maybe taste) any unknown object they see on the ground. So, if we’re trying to protect our health, is it ok that we let them share our home, sleep in our beds, and lick our faces?
This month, we challenged you to save money on your cellphone bill by finding a cheaper plan. How’d it go?

Bail, either in the form of money or property, is used to ensure the suspect of a crime returns for their day in court. You may not think simply paying bail is a life-changing incident, but according to a mini game made by documentary film organization Brave New Films, paying (or not paying) bail can significantly…
Not everyone needs an incredible cutting board. Many of us are better off with something we can throw in the dishwasher when we’re done- even better if it only costs $20 and packs in the features.

We all know that being seen as confident, but not cocky, at work can have a positive effect on our careers. From one-on-one meeting with your boss to giving a presentation to the whole team, your voice is one of the most important parts of project confidence. Here’s how to adjust your voice so that how you say…
Pet food aisles are full of packages that claim to hold “natural” and “holistic” foods, with pictures of fresh vegetables and roast chicken on the front. But there’s not much difference between these foods and the cheapest by-product-filled kibble. Here’s what you can expect to find in your pet’s food.
In Acquired Tastes, The A.V. Club explores the food and drinks we can’t live without.
Welcome back to Mid-Week Meditations, Lifehacker’s weekly dip into the pool of stoic wisdom, and how you can use its waters to reflect on and improve your life.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Apple will announce the iPhone 8 as early as September 12, and while that gives you just enough time to ditch your old device and scrounge up some cash to pay for the new one, Apple’s been pretty secretive (duh) about what the new iPhone 8 will actually do. Luckily, leaks from…
An SSD is the best upgrade you can give your older computer, and Samsung’s 850 EVO line is the most popular one there is. A worldwide NAND shortage has reversed the previously inexorable downward price trend on these things over the past year or so, but today on Amazon, you can get a 500GB drive for $140, or 1TB for…
Culinary prescriptivism has no place in a conversation about macaroni and cheese. From the fanciest of béchamel-based macs to a pot of Velveeta and shells, I firmly maintain there’s no wrong way to make or eat pasta covered in cheese sauce. If pressed though, I’ll always choose oven-baked over stove-top mac. The…
If you lift weights, you’ve got to fuel your body—but no matter what you pick, chances are somebody at your gym will tell you your choice of snack is the wrong one. So what is the “right” thing to eat? And does it really matter when you eat it?
There are some great new podcasts for kids out there. While in the car this past weekend, my four-year-old and I listened to NPR’s “Wow in the World” and learned the gross-but-fun fact that planarian flatworms poop out of their mouths, and picked up a new kid joke (Where do cows go on vacation? The mooooooooon.)
I remember the first time I bit into a cherry tomato. I was at a Sizzler. I was seven. A boy was present. I was talking a lot, as I am wont to do, when I casually popped the mini ‘mato in my mouth. My teeth pierced the skin, it exploded with much force, and seeds and tomato gel sprayed forth. I was so embarrassed that…
When traveling, the best camera can often be the one you happen to have with you, but there are also situations where you’ll want something more than an iPhone to capture high-quality photos. Self-taught photographer and Flickr user AJS Pimentel totes his traveling camera crew so he always has the gear to catch the…

Starbucks’ online store is shutting down October 1, but don’t mourn—their clearance sale is cause for celebration. (You’ll also still be able to buy branded mugs and whatnot in stores.)
“Was The Morningside Post website hacked?” a friend asked me. The site, which I once co-edited, seemed to have died, and returned as a zombie version of itself. About five months ago, my successors at TMP—the student-run news publication at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs—accidentally…
Getting a green card is already a complicated, and sometimes confusing, process. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are now adding an in-person interview for two types of green cards.
Every man can attest to the debilitating pain that even the slightest glancing blow inflicts on our dangly bits, but fathers of young kids are particularly vulnerable. Those little limbs flailing at full speed—shudder. GQ has advice for staying on the offense when wearing a chest carrier. Their recommendation? A…
In 2004, Orbitz alumnus Steve Hafner co-founded Kayak and fixed the aggravating process of shopping for airplane tickets. As Kayak’s CEO, he managed the company through an IPO in 2012 and its $2.1B acquisition by The Priceline Group in 2013. We asked him how he gets his work done.

Tinder, the swipe-tastic dating app, just launched a new subscription tier called “Tinder Gold” for iOS. But what the heck is it? And how is it different from the already existent Tinder Plus?
The Instant Pot is a great device for quickly cooking big pot roasts and whole chickens, but sometimes—especially if you live alone—you don’t want an entire chicken. Sometimes you just want a couple of thighs, which are arguably the best part of the chicken anyway.
The parents I come across want to raise children who’ll fight injustice. They take their kids to rallies. They start talking about race, gender, sexual orientation and physical ability early and often. They introduce books that explore the fight for equality. And kids do get it—they have a remarkable concern for…

Just how likely does “probably” sound to you? Redditor zonination asked users of the polling subreddit /r/samplesize to assign percentage values to a range of common phrases about probability, and graphed the results.

Major news events like Hurricane Harvey produce thousands of photos, and thousands more tweets and Facebook posts of fake, outdated or out-of-context photos. This time the big winner is a photoshop of a shark on the freeway, which pops up during every major hurricane.
When I envisioned having children, my happy fantasies included curling up and reading my childhood favorites to my kids. I pictured evenings of Little House on the Prairie, Pippi Longstocking, and Little Women. When my two boys came along, I worried that their affection for board books about farm equipment meant that…
Hurricane Harvey continues to barrage Texas, destroying homes and devastating lives. Whether or not you’re a Texan, you probably know someone who’s been affected, and the urge to reach out and offer support to your friends and acquaintances is strong. And you should!

An over-easy egg on toast is one of my favorite simple breakfasts, but these eggs are equally at home atop a bed of rice, a burger, or even a piece of pizza. Hitting that sweet spot where the whites are fully cooked but the yolk is still nice and runny isn’t difficult—you just have to know what you’re doing.

The New York Times reports that some dentists worry that sedation and anesthesia are “overused as profit-making tools,” and in kids, the practice can be dangerous, or even deadly. A University of Washington study found 44 cases over three decades in which patients died after sedation or general anesthesia for dental…
Infertility is rough enough without headlines implying your yoga practice is to blame. A recent study found that certain flame-retardant chemicals may make it harder for you to have a baby, but despite the downward-dog stock photos, yoga mats weren’t involved in the research.
William Painter sunglasses, a one-day Dremel sale, and a fantastic 4K TV lead off Tuesday’s best deals from around the web.
Whenever I go to festivals and other events with wristbands I always try and keep my wristband loose so it’s easy to take off later. I like keeping them as souvenirs, and cutting them off ruins them, in my opinion. Also, if you happen to buy a 3-day pass to a festival and want to let your friend use your pass for a…
