So what, then, do we mean by a new surprising ingredient? We’re simply suggesting that you add the sodium in a different form—instead of kosher salt, try seasoning with a splash of soy sauce. By stirring it into the eggs before they hit the pan, the saltiness gets evenly dispersed and doesn’t run the risk of clumping up, like salt. Gluten-free egg-lovers can substitute tamari. We can’t take credit for this genius tip....

After you have your cut of choice, you only need a few ingredients to cook steak. While you can always add steak sauces, rubs, and wet or dry brine, this is your guide for a basic steak.

Stop plucking This is a no-brainer, but if you’ve found yourself with sparse brows, it’s time to put down the tweezers and back away from the mirror. When trying to grow back your brows, avoid any products that might be inhibiting hair growth (or actually pulling out your hairs unintentionally). Avoid brow products with drying alcohol or heavy waxes that could be “suffocating the brow or drying them out,” says Azi Sacks, a brow artist based in New York City....

How to Prepare For a Power Outage If you live in an area where power outages are common, invest in an appliance thermometer that can let you know what the temperature is in your fridge at any time.

One particular video—#tortillawrap—went viral for an excellent reason. It’s genius! The tortilla is cleverly separated into four quadrants, each containing its own ingredient. These range from traditional additions like shredded cheese, guacamole, and black beans to scrambled eggs, ramen noodles, hamburger patties, and sweet renditions with Nutella (because, TikTok).
