Why should you preheat a pan before you start cooking?
If you're cooking with a cold pan, your veggies or meat starts to steam, instead of sear or sauté, as it heats up. And if that happens, you'll end up with a mushy plate of hard work gone done the drain.
How you do it: Turn on your stove, put your pan on, prep some ingredients and in no time at all, your pan will be ready to go.

Where do you go to file your taxes?
Online to Turbo Tax, H&R Block or another tax prepare OR to an office with tax preparers. You pay to have your taxes done. It typically costs more in-person than online. If you choose online, you typically do everything on your own; however, they now have people online to help answer questions (which may or may not cost more). Average cost for an accountant or a CPA is $150-$500. TurboTax does have a free version for those with simple tax situations.

Are olive oil and vegetable oil interchangeable?
Yes...and no. Use olive oil when you want its flavor in a dish and for moderate-heat cooking. Choose a vegetable oil when you want a cleaner flavor and for high-heat cooking.
If you find yourself out of the oil called for in your recipe, we’ve found these oils can be used interchangeably the majority of the time. For safety reasons, just pay attention to your heat when cooking with olive oil.

What is a standard tax deduction?
Tax deductions allow individuals and companies to subtract certain expenses from their taxable income, which reduces their overall tax bill. The tax system gives you a choice of adding up all of your deductible expenses—and providing evidence of those expenses to the IRS upon request—or simply deducting a flat amount, no questions asked. That flat amount is called a "standard deduction." The amount of your standard deduction depends on the filing status you qualify for. In 2020 for example, single taxpayers and married taxpayers who file separate returns can claim a $12,400 standard deduction.
