America's Test Kitchen
America’s Test Kitchen is the most-watched cooking show on public television. Hosts Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin Davison lead our test cooks to present foolproof recipes for the home cook and share the results of equipment reviews and taste tests.
Party Foods
Who doesn't like a plate of good nachos or Buffalo wings? We discover when you can use supermarket products versus when only good, fresh ingredients will do. A simple, sweet-tart sangria finishes our party menu.
Chicken in a Flash
Simple yet interesting, both chicken Milanese and chicken piccata are reliable test kitchen favorites. We like to start them on the stovetop but finish the cooking in the oven
Pasta Classics
The test kitchen provides foolproof recipes for two classic pasta sauces: puttanesca and Bolognese.
Pasta Quick and Easy
Pasta with garlic and oil is perhaps the most famous quick pasta dish. It starts with ingredients on hand—garlic, good olive oil, hot red pepper flakes—and turns them into something special and uncommonly good.
Beef Burgundy
We uncover the secrets to beef Burgundy at its best—and also show you a way to make portions of it ahead of time.
American Casseroles
Macaroni and cheese and turkey Tetrazzini are two classic casseroles, but they are rarely as good as they could be. We knew we could do better—much better—in the test kitchen.
Backyard BBQ
On a hot summer's day, life doesn't get much better than a big, juicy, smoky slab of spicy, mouth-watering ribs. Our goal was to produce flavorful, juicy, tender ribs that would be well worth the time, money, and effort.
Ham Dinner
Ham dinner—with green bean casserole—is classic American fare. But which kind of ham should you buy? And can you really make a "good" green bean casserole? We show you how.
Weekend Brunch
Our sour cream coffee cake and light, flavorful fruit salads transform weekend brunch into an indulgent meal you'll want to make even when company isn't coming over. A few tips on great coffee round out the perfect start to a day.
Quick Breads
The appeal of such quick bread as cinnamon buns and banana bread is clear. Supermarket cinnamon buns often have an odd, artificial flavor and sponge-like texture. And banana bread doesn't need to taste like over-the-hill bananas.
Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon meringue pie is a three-part recipe—crust, lemon filling, and meringue—and each one can be a challenge. We discover which rolling pins are best and whether you can use store-bought pie crust in a pinch. Then we perfect the filling and meringue.
New York Cheesecake
A true New York-style cheesecake should be pure and minimalist but also have just the right color, flavor, and density. With a crisp graham cracker crust and a filling that fades from creamy to cake-like, our cheesecake is worthy of any diner in New York.
