Big Mistakes Everyone Makes With Canned Tuna

People often debate the best and worst canned foods but if you ask us canned tuna has to take the top spot. Of course part of canned tuna’s enduring appeal lies in its versatility. The whole point of canned tuna is that it offers a no-brainer dinner option when time energy and money are tight. You can whip up a creamy tuna salad or an epic tuna sandwich in a flash and you can rest assured that it’ll pack a serious punch of protein. But maybe you still don’t give this delicious pantry staple enough thought.

For example have you ever considered buying a different brand or changing how you typically store your canned tuna? If you’ve never asked yourself these questions you might be making a huge mistake with this underrated protein. Below we’ll break down the mistakes you might be making with this humble pantry hero from forgetting to pair it with complementary flavors to neglecting to mix it into your favorite pasta sauce.

When it comes to canned tuna many home cooks opt for the same few dishes like tuna salad or tuna melts but that scope is too limited for this versatile fish. For a little expert guidance consider the sage advice that chef and “Chopped” judge Marc Murphy gave Tasting Table: Add tuna to your pasta dishes. This isn’t a pasta salad trick either. Murphy previously suggested making a delicious warm pasta dish complete with canned tuna.
