Don't waste precious time with oven racks that stick. Clean them with a wire brush and rub petroleum jelly on the sliding edges.

Great Pairings

Broccoli with Buttery Crumbs

During much of the year, fresh broccoli tops, also called crowns, cost less than frozen florets. Simply microwave the fresh broccoli with 2 tablespoons water as recipe directs in step 1.
