The Cook's Illustrated magazine is dedicated to finding the best methods for preparing foolproof home-cooked meals. The staff of cooks and editors works out of a 2,500 square foot test kitchen, which is the same kitchen in which they film the public television show, America's Test Kitchen. Three dozen full-time cooks test and retest recipes until they can offer readers a recipe they are confident will work every time.
The magazine also offers ratings and reviews of cookware and kitchen equipment to inform you how different models compare and compete so that you can shop smart. They taste test supermarket ingredients and kitchen staples you use every day, so you know which brands taste best, and which are best avoided. Cook's Illustrated is 100% advertising FREE, so you get unbiased, objective information.
