COMBINED VALUE:  $70.00 ; YOUR PRICE: $24.50 [ORDER NOW]( Dear friend, I don’t play favorites with the books we publish. Having said that, I admit that I love our Best of America’s Test Kitchen annual cookbook series. From among the 1,000+ recipes developed each year for [Cook’s Illustrated]( and [Cook’s Country]( magazines, TV shows, and cookbooks, our editors nominate their favorites, and a heated competition ensues as we winnow the collection down to 150. This year the job was particularly difficult, as our magazines had a banner year (subscriptions are up—long live print!) and all our new cookbooks were Amazon best sellers. Along with the recipes, our annual cookbook includes trademark test kitchen resources such as product ratings from the magazines (not just the top picks but everything we tasted and tested), 30+ ingenious quick tips submitted by readers, and the year’s Cook’s Illustrated 101 features (“Ten Discoveries That Changed the Way We Cook,” “Everyday Roasted Vegetables,” and more). [This really is a special collection]( of hours of test kitchen work distilled into one beautiful hardcover book. Buy your 2020 edition directly from the test kitchen and we’ll include the 2019 edition as well. All our best, [Jack's Signature] Jack Bishop Chief Creative Officer [2019 and 2020 Editions]( Two years of winning recipes, testings, and tastings! [BUY 1 GET 1 FREE]( This Year’s Very Best Recipes From Cook’s Illustrated Magazine Thai Hot and Sour Noodle Soup with Shrimp (Guay Tiew Tom Yum Goong) This authentic Thai soup—full of shrimp, rice noodles, oyster mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes—delivers on classic hot, sour, salty, and sweet flavors. The easy prep begins with chicken broth (store-bought works!) flavored with lemongrass, scallions, Thai chili, and a few more fresh ingredients. Make our quick Thai Chili Jam (Nam Prik Pao) for a spicy garnish. For lunch, as a starter, or as a light main course, this soup satisfies any time of day. NOTES FROM THE TEST KITCHEN How to Cook Rice Vermicelli Here’s how we cook rice vermicelli that is destined for a soup bowl: Just boil water, turn off the heat, and add the noodles, stirring the noodles once or twice as they soak. The noodles are done when they’re fully tender but not mushy; just taste one to check. Rinse the noodles with cold water to remove any starchy film and prevent clumping. From Cook’s Country Magazine Cast-Iron Oven-Fried Chicken Many of us crave fried chicken, but the time and, let’s admit it, the mess of making it puts us off. We wanted to find an easier way to get that crunchy, deeply seasoned exterior and juicy meat we all love—without going to the trouble of deep frying. Our new oven-frying technique makes this comfort food favorite a weeknight option by using a very hot oven and a fraction of the amount of oil needed for traditional fried chicken. The result is juicy chicken encased in an extra-crunchy, shaggy coating. NOTES FROM THE TEST KITCHEN HOW TO MIMIC STOVETOP FRYING IN THE OVEN We pour a good amount of oil into the bottom of the skillet to cover it in a thin layer, ensuring that the chicken crisps up on each side. The oil heats quickly in the preheated skillet, preventing the flour coating from turning gummy. 1. HEAT SKILLET Place cast-iron skillet on middle rack in 450-degree oven so it gets nice and hot. 2. ADD OIL Once skillet is heated through, carefully remove it from oven and add ½ cup vegetable oil. 3. ADD CHICKEN Carefully place chicken, skin side down, in hot oil and return skillet to oven. 4. FLIP After 15 minutes, flip chicken and continue to cook until chicken is done, about 15 minutes longer. The best recipes all in one book! [ORDER NOW]( From Cook It in Your Dutch Oven Spiced Lamb Pot Roast with Figs Less common (and less expensive) than a leg of lamb, a lamb shoulder roast is an intensely flavorful cut. It’s ideal for braising, which builds a flavorful cooking liquid and produces fall-apart-tender meat. What makes this recipe even better? Seasoning the lamb with ground coriander, ground fennel, and salt and simmering the meat in ruby port along with rosemary and aromatics. While the meat rests after braising, defat and reduce the cooking liquid and stir in figs for a simple yet one-of-a-kind sauce. From The Complete Diabetes Cookbook Breakfast Tacos Sometimes you wake up craving a hearty, savory breakfast that, unlike pancakes or cereal, won’t exceed your recommended daily sugar intake. Breakfast tacos are the perfect option. Starting from the outside in, we found most store-bought flour tortillas are loaded with calories, fat, sodium, and carbs. Store-bought corn tortillas, which are whole grain, make a great and easy substitute. We keep things healthy and flavorful by scrambling eggs with a bit of cheddar cheese and finish the tacos with pico de gallo and avocado slices. From Cook’s Illustrated Magazine Browned Butter Blondies We began our pursuit of the best-tasting blondies by experimenting with two popular notions: that blondies are simply brownies stripped of chocolate and that they’re chocolate chip cookies pressed and baked in a pan. Each confection was a dud (gummy, greasy, and sickeningly sweet or dry and tough). What got us to our goal? Ingredients such as browned butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, lots of vanilla, and plenty of salt. These blondies keep for up to a week after baking, but they won’t last that long. And more— 150 winning recipes in all . . . Want to make enough French toast to feed a family in a single batch? Look to the oven. Our recipe lets you bake eight slices at once; just pour the custard into a rimmed baking sheet, settle the bread slices in the custard in an even layer, and broil until browned. How about a grown-up, better-tasting version of the classic dump-and-stir broccoli and cheese casserole we ate as kids? Our recipe takes advantage of your microwave oven to speed up prep, pairs extra-sharp cheddar with American cheese, and adds buttery panko bread crumbs for crunch. And make our flourless Italian chocolate-almond cake (Torta Caprese, pictured on the cover) and be transported to the Amalfi coast with a rich, dense cake that can be (bonus!) made ahead.

We sampled five nationally available top-selling brands plain and in BLT sandwiches. Our top pick won raves for “mild and meaty flavor and ideal texture.” We were less impressed by another brand’s offering: Tasters described this bacon as “small islands of lean meat surrounded by large strips of fat.” Order the [Best of America’s Test Kitchen 2020]( and buy better bacon. Large Coolers A cooler is an indispensable tool for the traveling cook, handy for camping, beach trips, long car rides, parties, and tailgating. We tested eight models from five top-selling, well-known brands. In addition to measuring ice loss, we lugged the coolers up and down stairs; dragged them across concrete, asphalt, and gravel; and pushed full coolers out of the back of an SUV five times. We even sawed them in half to see how they were constructed.
