Our mission at America's Test Kitchen is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the "best" version. Our ultimate goal: to investigate the fundamental principles of cooking so that you become a better cook. It is as simple as that.
America's Test Kitchen is a very real 2,500-square-foot kitchen located just outside of Boston. It is the home of Cook's Illustrated magazine and Cook's Country magazine and is the Monday-through-Friday destination for more than 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists.
We performance-test a huge range of kitchen equipment without any preconceived notions equating price to quality — and never fail to get eye-opening results that will save you substantial amounts of money.
