About The Feed

Everything you ever wanted to know about us and this website

What is The Feed at America’s Test Kitchen?

The Feed, launched in 2011, is the destination for daily updates, recipes, and stories from the crew at America’s Test Kitchen. This is also where readers can ask questions, cooks and editors can respond, and food lovers everywhere can connect through the America’s Test Kitchen community.

What is America’s Test Kitchen?

America’s Test Kitchen is a very real 2,500-square-foot kitchen located just outside of Boston. It is the home of Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines and is the workday destination of more than three dozen test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version. We also test kitchen equipment and supermarket ingredients in search of brands that offer the best value and performance. You can watch us work by tuning in to America’s Test Kitchen on public television.

What is The Feed’s relationship to AmericasTestKitchen.com, CooksIllustrated.com, and CooksCountry.com?

America’s Test Kitchen produces all the content for these websites, which correspond with the eponymous public-television show, Cook’s Illustrated Magazine, and Cook’s Country Magazine and public-television show, respectively. The Feed is America’s Test Kitchen‘s online outlet for daily, interactive content and a community and resource for home cooks.

Is content on The Feed free?

Yes, everything, always.

Are posts and recipes always accessible and free?

Yes. Any recipes older than 7 days are accessible when logged into your user account (registration is free and requires an e-mail address only).

How can I be notified of updates on The Feed?

You can subscribe to an RSS feed of The Feed.

Why should I register?

Not only will you have access to all archived stories and recipes on The Feed, you will also reap the benefits of our free e-newsletter, Notes from the Test Kitchen. Each issue offers cooking advice, test results, buying tips, and recipes about different topics each week. In addition, we’ll also notify you with exclusive online offers for our cookbooks and publications. Your subscription settings can be changed at any time. Your email address will not be shared with any third parties.

Will you write about my product or accept advertising?

America’s Test Kitchen accepts no advertising, making it possible to provide completely unbiased, no-nonsense cookware reviews and food ratings as well as an in-depth approach to recipe development. In our test kitchen, we roast 38 turkeys to find the best cooking method, sample eight brands of turkey to find the one that tastes best, and test 12 roasting pans to find the one that performs best. Of course, you can get hundreds of roast turkey recipes free elsewhere on the web, but none will have been as extensively tested or as honest as ours.
