Season 1
Baking Stones
We tested several stones in different shapes, sizes, materials, and price ranges to find out that more money doesn’t necessarily buy you the best stone.
Cake Stands
We tested five models to see which gave us the best view.
Candy Thermometers
We finally found an easy-to-use candy thermometer.
Charcoal Grills
Charcoal grills come in different shapes and sizes, with different features and vastly different prices. What do you really need?
Cocktail Shakers
Bartenders ask: Shaken or Stirred? We asked: Cobbler or Boston style?
Cookbook Holders
It surprised us how many cookbook holders couldn't hold our cookbooks, much less shield them.
Essential Grilling Gadgets
What equipment do you really need to cook outdoors?
Grill Pans
Grilling outside means bold flavors and attractive char marks—and waiting for decent weather. Can a grill pan transport the hot grate from the backyard to the stovetop?
Hand (Immersion) Blenders
Hand blenders claim to be a more efficient alternative to food processors. But could any pass our pesto test?
Indoor Grills
Does the champ reign supreme? We grilled hamburgers, salmon, zucchini, grilled cheese sandwiches, and thick Cubano panini to find out.
Inexpensive Knife Sets
Do any knife sets make the cut?
Kitchen Shears
We found two favorites—one for right-handed users and one for lefties.
Muffin Tins
The best tin should have excellent heat conductivity and convenient handles.
Paring Knives
Can a $6 knife outperform a $30 competitor?
Sauté Pans
Paying top dollar for a saucepan or skillet isn't hard to justify. But how much should you spend on the infrequently used sauté pan?
Small Nonstick Saucepans
You can spend $100 on a 2-quart nonstick saucepan—but should you?
Tongs
Are the new design features on some tongs more than just gimmicks? We tested 11 pairs to see if it was possible to improve on this kitchen workhorse.
