Season 1
Barbecue Mitts
You can pay anywhere from $5 for a simple cotton barbecue mitt to $33 for a high-tech model. Does advanced technology equate to advanced performance?
Barbecue Thermometers
For long and slow barbecuing, it's especially important to monitor grill temperature.
Box Graters
We tested eight models to find not only the most effective but the safest grater.
Cast-Iron Skillets
Is cast iron the original nonstick pan? Do recent innovations improve on this traditional kitchen workhorse?
Coffee Makers (Inexpensive)
Does an inexpensive model have to feel cheap?
Commuter Coffee Mugs
We didn't find perfection, but we came close.
Dutch Ovens
Our favorite Dutch ovens cost more than $200. Ouch! Is there a cheaper version that performs almost as well? Yes. It
costs $40.
Electric Knife Sharpeners
When your kitchen knives go dull, is there a quick, cheap, and easy way to restore their cutting edge and get back to cooking?
Garlic Presses
Can your choice of garlic press affect the flavor of your dishes? You'd be surprised.
Innovative Chef's Knives
In search of an improved mousetrap, we tested seven knives with innovative designs.
Kitchen Timers
In the test kitchen, timing is everything. We tested 10 new models designed to handle multitask timing.
Ladles
Is one ladle pretty much the same as the next? No.
Loaf Pans
Loaf pans range in price from $4 to $75. Are the higher prices justified?
Oven Mitts
Oven mitts once cost no more than the Sunday newspaper, but today a high-tech pair runs $60. We braved trials by fire, water, and grease to uncover the (very) painful truth.
Roasting Pans
Which ones can stand the heat?
Slotted Spoons
Not just any combination of handles and holes work.
Slow Cookers
Not all fancy features are worth paying for.
Square Cake Pans
A square cake pan is a kitchen essential, but should you buy a glass, nonstick, or traditional metal model?
Stockpots
Do you have to spend big money for a big pot?
Toaster Ovens
Can it roast chicken, cook pizza, and bake cookies? How about toast bread?
