Equipment

Slow cooker

Large skillet or Dutch oven when browning is called for

Cutting board and chef knife

Instant-read thermometer for meat and poultry recipes

Food safety & storage

Keep raw beef refrigerated and prevent cross-contamination. For whole cuts, use at least 145°F with a 3-minute rest where appropriate; braised chuck recipes intentionally cook much further for tenderness. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.

Store leftovers in a clean glass container in the refrigerator.
