Apple Slicers
Do these contraptions make good on their promise to produce identical apple pieces?
Blenders
All we ask of a blender is that it can crush ice and produce a smooth puree. So why can’t more models deliver?
Boning Knives
Could any of the new, innovative models we tested dethrone our good old chef's knife for hacking up bones and chopping onions?
Bowl Scrapers
The best way to remove sticky, soft dough or runny batter from a bowl is with this hand-held spatula that fits between
your palm and fingers.
Broiler-Safe Mini Gratin Dishes
We needed a shallow, broilerproof mini gratin dish to ensure a crisp crust for a berry gratin. Did we find a product that delivered?
Cookware Sets
Does buying a set of cookware get you a bargain—or a bunch of pans you don’t really need?
Corn Strippers
We tested five products to determine if corn strippers remove kernels better than a chef's knife.
Cut-Resistant Glove
Cut-resistant gloves are designed to protect fingers when you grate, slice, or chop, but do they really work?
Electric Citrus Juicers
If you want a lot of juice, consider using an electric juicer.
Electric Deep Fryers
Could any fryer top our usual method of deep frying in a Dutch oven with a candy thermometer clipped on?
Electric Egg Cookers
They eliminate the need to watch the clock while boiling or poaching eggs. But are they necessary?
Electric Wine Openers
Are electric wine openers really handy or just another gimmicky gadget?
Green Skillets
Eco-friendly nonstick skillets promise to help the planet while they cook your dinner. But do any actually measure up?
Grill Cookware
Grill cookware promises to make it easier to grill small chunks of food so they don’t fall into the fire. But can it give you the same results as grilling directly on the grates?
Innovative Teapots
We tested small teapots with unusual strainers and dispensing mechanisms that promised to make dealing with loose tea mess-free.
Mini Prep Bowls
These bowls should aid—not hinder—efficiency.
Mortars and Pestles
Could we find a mortar and pestle that would crush the competition?
Omelet Pans
What’s the best pan for making an omelet?
Portable Induction Burners
We wondered: Is a burner that promises to be faster, safer, and more precise too good to be true?
Portion Scoops
Portion scoops—essentially ice-cream dippers made in specific sizes—should be easy to squeeze with either hand.
Slicing Knives
Slicing a roast, ham, or turkey doesn’t require expert knife skills. But producing thin, even slices of meat can be next to impossible if you don’t have the right knife.
Traditional Skillets
A 12-inch skillet should last a lifetime and cook almost anything. But does quality construction have to cost top dollar?
Vertical Roasters
Vertical roasters cook poultry evenly and crisp the skin all over—and you don’t have to turn the bird the way you would on a traditional V-rack.
Wine Aerators
Do these devices deliver on their promise to improve the flavor of wine? We tested five to find out.
