Anchovies
Are all anchovies the same? We purchased four brands to find out.

Blue Cheese
While some tasters preferred the stronger cheeses when eaten alone, most preferred blue cheese dressing made with milder, less pungent cheeses.

Cheddar Cheese
Supermarket cheddar cheeses can be pale imitations of authentic farmhouse cheddars, but they are cheap and widely available. Some are even worth eating.

Guacamole
Is store-bought guacamole an option?

Lasagna Noodles
We first tested brands of no-boil lasagna noodles, and then cooked two lasagnas, one with no-boil noodles and the other with traditional, straight from the box, noodles. The results were clear in both tests.

Molasses
With molasses, it's simply a matter of taste.

Salt
Food magazines and celebrity chefs are touting the flavor of gourmet salts that cost up to $36 per pound. Do they really taste better?

Supermarket Cheesecakes
Can any store-bought brands compare to a homemade cheesecake?
