Whether they’re steamed, sous-vided, or parboiled before frying, my favorite wings are usually cooked twice. Similar to pouring boiling water over chicken thighs, par-cooking wings before a final fry renders out some of the fat and breaks down connective tissue, resulting in juicier meat and crispier skin. Most common…

In the post-pandemic world, sometimes you work from an office. Sometimes you work from home. Sometimes you work from a mysterious third place, hopefully with a lot of sun (or at least good coffee). Whether that’s by the pool, on a plane, or from that cafe you love, there are gadgets that can help you be more…

I love a pantry meal. No worrying about whether you’ll get a chance to make it before the ingredients go bad, no making a special trip to the store for that one ingredient that you never seem to have on hand—just a quick bite that is ready to go at any moment. And those are the cheap and healthy meals we’re looking at…

A Fitbit or other step-counting challenge can be a great way to inspire yourself to be active. But then again, it’s easier to just sit on the couch and pretend you’re logging tons of steps. Here are a few ways to game the system, even though ultimately you’re just cheating yourself.

If you tend to lie awake in bed, anxious about what you’ve forgotten to do today or prepare for tomorrow, it’s likely you’re not taking advantage of Google Assistant’s “Bedtime” routine. Once you’ve set it up, you can simply say “Goodnight” to Google through any device, and Assistant will execute an automated set of…

It’s hard to quit something you actually find useful. Case in point: Twitter (or maybe now “X”?) Sure, the site has been actively on fire for the better part of a year, but there are still a lot of interesting and funny people tweeting away. You probably have a lot of those tweets saved to your Bookmarks, which…

If you read about cooking online, you’ve no doubt seen several listicles that tout the many uses of a single, humble chicken. At this point, you know what a chicken can do for you, so another overly-prescriptive, chicken-based meal plan seems unnecessary. My agenda here is very simple: The next time you buy a whole…

After two and a half seasons, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) is returning for the second part of The Witcher’s third season. Season 3 of The Witcher had been broken into two parts: Part one included five episodes and aired on June 29, and part two will drop the season’s final three episodes on Thursday, July 27. Three…

Carrying a separate cable for each of your smart devices is impractical, and cables that split into multiple connectors often get tangled just as easily. The InCharge X Max 100W 6-in-1 Charging Cable folds to reveal different types of connectors, so you can use one cable for USB-C, Micro, USB, and Lighting devices,…

Some people let wine age in their basement cellars knowing every day gets them closer to a more desirable and higher-quality product. Others do the same with their Pokémon cards, hoping their delayed gratification will help pay off their student loans some day. Knowing how much a card is worth is easy now, thanks to…

Last weekend was a big one at the box office, with director Greta Gerwig’s Barbie netting $155 million in North American ticket sales and Christopher Nolan’s three-hour Oppenheimer bringing in $80.5 million (and “Barbenheimer” making up the fourth-largest weekend in box office history).

In the same brand of pop culture shorthand that labels oxytocin the “love hormone” and cortisol the “stress hormone,” dopamine is classified as the “reward” chemical we deliver ourselves a dose of every time we experience something pleasurable. Of course, real life is never that simple.

Have you ever been in the middle of a run and gotten hit with a sudden wave of chills, goosebumps, or shivers, even though it’s hot as hades outside? Feeling cold and shivery when you’re working out isn’t uncommon, especially when it’s hot and humid, and isn’t harmful in itself—but it is an early warning of heat…

I’m a huge fan of creamy salad dressings, but I almost never use them. The bottled stuff often has an overwhelming synthetic flavor, and a lot of homemade recipes are too mayonnaise-dominant for my taste. Fortunately, there’s a simple trick to add body and subtle richness to any liquid-y salad dressing: Add cooked egg…

It can be hard to relax and genuinely enjoy yourself on a vacation that you know you can’t afford. Splurging on a bucket list trip is one thing, but the costs of the average solo, family, or group getaway also add up quickly, and can end up being a source of stress both during the trip, and in the time it takes you to…

I’ve been trying to cheat on my wife with an artificial intelligence all week, and it’s proving so difficult I might have to resort to an affair with a human being.

This refurbished MacBook Pro is on sale for $469.99. It was originally manufactured in 2017 and great for budget-conscious students or professionals. You won’t want to get this computer if you need a laptop that can run heavy art programs with all your Google Chrome tabs open, but it’s worth considering if you need a…

One of my favorite sides is exceedingly simple: sliced, fresh tomatoes with a little salt (extra credit if they’re served on Blue Willow china). Ripe summer tomatoes don’t need much adornment, and I tend to be mulish about involving unnecessary ingredients, so when I saw a woman drizzling honey on her tomato toast,…

Back-to-school time is fast approaching, which means the struggle to get out the door (on time) is, once again, also upon us. As any veteran parent knows, successfully leaving the house in the morning really starts the night before. Packing up lunches, stuffing homework into backpacks, and having shoes ready and…

As if airfare wasn’t costly enough on its own, these days you usually need to factor in at least $35 for dreaded checked bag fees. And that’s just one-way, so needless to say, the costs of checking your bags adds up quick.

If you’re reading this, we don’t have to tell you parenting is a roller coaster of emotion. One moment you’re frustrated trying to get your kids ready for school, and the next, you’re laughing over something cute or funny your kid said. But some parents wear their emotions on their sleeve too much, randomly crying…

Welcome to “How I Became,” a new Lifehacker series where I ask real people about how they really got their jobs. This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Devon Lara Lucas, freelance board game content developer. I met Lucas in 2016 when I was an intern at Hasbro; I was learning the ropes on the Monopoly team,…

Since it launched in public beta earlier this month, we’ve talked a lot about the many ways iOS 17 will improve your digital life. While Apple has touted many of these features publicly, there are plenty of hidden changes the company isn’t talking about.

From identifying the washing symbols on your clothing tags to…

Old media doesn’t need to waste away in a box. Instead, you can convert them into digital files about as easily as you’d scan any other photo. The Kodak Slide N Scan is a film and slide scanner that can help you scan, edit, color convert, and save your old slides and film, and it’s on sale for $169.97 (reg. $224) with…
