Product Description:
Cook's Illustrated provides readers with recipes, cooking techniques, and product and food recommendations exhaustively developed in our extensive Test Kitchen facility - the same kitchen featured on our cooking show, America's Test Kitchen. Included are best ways to prepare favorite American dishes -- from pot roast and chocolate chip cookies to grilled salmon and fruit cobbler. Best (and worst) cooking equipment -- from chef's knives to cookie sheets. Best brands -- from canned tomatoes to baking chocolate. Best cooking techniques - from brining shrimp to baking ham. And all of this is provided without a single page of advertising - just 100% cooking information.

- The finest Magazine ever
Since 1993 Cook's Illustrated is the only magazine I have saved through 5 moves. It is a real treasure, with no advertising. No dazzling photographs of dishes that are impossible to attain. A very step by step explanation of the ingredients,cooking utensils,preparation techniques,time & temperature
This magazine is an inspiration to create.

- Great magazine needs
an index...they are very concise, the back stories to the recipe testings are funny, entertaining, and great to read while, you wait for bread to rise, chicken to marinate, meat to brine, etc, etc.....my son loves all of the recipes I have made from this magazine (25 +), my picky eater husband also loves the recipes especially the chicken teriyaki (broiler method, plus I add honey to the sauce....), orange chicken, sichuan green beans with pork, dark chocolate cupcakes, cuban roast pork, mushroom risotto, easy oven roasted chicken, blueberry scones, brown sugar cookies, and the Christmas supper I prepared was also very good (though time consuming) shrimp bisque, beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, flourless chocolate torte, on and on...you get the picture...drooooolllllll

- Great magazine, terrible delivery on first issue
I gave a subscription as a gift to a friend back in April. I was told that the first delivery would be sometime between July 11 and August 8 which I thought was unreasonable, but I let it go.

- Not for the casual cook
Gosh I never knew cooking could be so... boring! Like many other reviewers, I was annoyed by the profuse amount of advertising included with a subscription to this magazing. The worst part is how each magazine has a dense construction paper-like front cover ad actually stapled into the binding of the magazine itself, which makes removing a hassle. So much for paying extra for a magazine without advertisements!

I generally subscribe to cooking magazines for inspiration to try new dishes, but the dull writing style and lack of pictures (especially color photos) in Cooks Illustrated really never made me very enthusiastic about the recipes. On the bright side, their more scientific approach to finding the 'optimum' recipe for a certain dish, and discovering the purpose of how adding ... Read More
