20 Ways to Shop Smarter, Cook Faster, and Eat Healthier

Dinner 911

Sometimes supper doesn't turn out as planned. Rescue it with these tricks from Top Chef finalist Antonia Lofaso and the Food Network's Ingrid Hoffmann.

Scorched brown rice. Transfer to a container with a whole peeled onion. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. The onion will absorb the burned flavor and odor.
Too-salty soup. Add one-half to three-fourths cup of liquid to thin it out. Use milk for pureed or cream-based soups like tomato, and unsalted broth or water for clear ones like chicken noodle.
Overdressed salad. Toss in some raw baby carrots or broccoli -- they soak up a lot more dressing than greens do.
