At Cook's Illustrated, our test cooks are dedicated to testing and retesting recipes 20, 30, sometimes 50 times until we come up with a recipe that will come out right the first time -- and every time -- you make it.

As we like to say at Cook's Illustrated, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
