On the occasion of Cook's Illustrated's 25th anniversary, we've gathered together our most ground-breaking recipes and extraordinary innovations from the past quarter century. This collection of 180 recipes and essays offers an unparalleled window into what makes Cook's Illustrated America's most trusted cooking magazine.Anyone who has ever made a recipe from Cook's Illustrated knows that we do things differently. Our testing leaves no culinary stone unturned, and this has led to some pretty surprising discoveries. This book is built upon those: recipes that are not just foolproof but have changed the way America cooks. Examples range from hard-boiled eggs that aren't actually boiled to perfectly grilled steaks that start in the oven, plus secret ingredients ranging from baking soda to dried milk powder to gelatin. We've made international favorites like Dolsot Bibimbap accessible for the home kitchen by cooking ours family-style in a Dutch oven, but we've also challenged traditional wisdom on the simplest fare like whole roast chicken; ours is butterflied and cooked under the broiler for chicken perfection in under an hour. Alongside these recipes and many more we've included the smart, funny essays that detail the fascinating path of how each recipe came to be, complete with bursts of insight and wrong turns, plus sidebars, helpful illustrations, and gorgeous full-page photos, all to tell the story of what Cook's Illustrated does best.

Air Fryer Perfection
By Kitchen, America's Test
Get the best possible results from your air fryer and discover the best ways to use it (not just frying!) with 75 fast, convenient, great-tasting recipes.Air fryers promise crisp fried food without actual deep frying. Was it too good to be believed? And what can you cook in them besides French fries? In truth, air fryers cook food by blasting it with circulated hot air. The method is fast, convenient, and can be surprisingly good--if you have right recipe. We cooked more than 70 pounds of potatoes to create the perfect air fryer French fry, with an evenly crisp exterior and creamy center. But what really drew us to this appliance was the variety of what you can make in it, effortlessly and without having to enlist numerous pots and pans. In addition to crispy fried chicken and fries, you'll turn out evenly cooked steaks, such as Chipotle-Coffee Rubbed Steaks with Snap Pea Salad (the spice rub gives them a bold crust) , Sweet and Smoky Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Butternut Squash (the pork cooks directly on top of the squash to save time) , and Tandoori Chicken Thighs.
