When we test a product to recommend on Health, we actually live with it—we bring it into our homes, try it on our skin, ask our families to use it, and consider whether we’d spend our own cash on it. It’s a surprisingly intimate process. We sleep on the mattresses; we dab on the creams; we sweat on the treadmills. And, sometimes, we find our own new favorites. It’s one of the coolest parts of our jobs.

Traveling with a toddler is no joke. My husband and I recently took a trip to Puerto Rico with our 2-year-old, which involved a 4-hour plane ride both ways—including a red-eye flight. From dealing with nap math to snacks (SO many snacks), to figuring out how to keep my son entertained, the logistics of toting along our 2-year-old caused maybe 90% of my pre-vacation stress. Thanks to a few smart parenting hacks, we not only got through our family vacation but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

"Is that electric?" "Where is the fire?" "Is that a curved base?" "Does it really work??"The "it" here is my plastic and glass induction wok burner. The questions are the ones I get every time I post a video using it. And no matter how often I explain it, praise it, or encourage its use, the social media algorithms ultimately will find another few thousand folks who've never seen it before and I get to teach a whole new set of people why an induction wok is the way to go in most western homes.
