Honestly, rinsing my canned beans instead of dumping them in whole saved my chili
For years I dumped the whole can in and wondered why my chili tasted like metal and got that weird cloudy look. Turns out draining and rinsing them in a colander for like 30 seconds under cold water gets rid of that starchy goo, and a 79 cent can ends up tasting like the $2.50 ones. Anyone else got a cheap pantry trick that fixed a dish you almost gave up on?
