[Shop Annuals]( Our Top Stories of 2020 Poulet au Vinaigre (Chicken with Vinegar) This classic French country dish features tender, juicy chicken served with a light, savory sauce. Traditional versions call for both light and dark meat, but we opted for chicken thighs to streamline the cooking time. We prepared our sauce with red wine vinegar, white wine, chicken broth, tomato paste, tarragon, and butter. We browned the chicken before braising it in our sauce to intensify the flavor. Worried about food waste? We also developed a scaled-down version of this recipe that serves two. You’ll find both recipes in your annual. Lahmajun Some consider this Armenian crispy flatbread topped with ground lamb and vegetables to be the original thin-crust pizza. To ensure a crispy crust, we set our baking stone on the upper-middle rack of our oven and heated it to 500 degrees for about an hour. This allowed the hot air to circulate, creating the ideal atmosphere for our flatbread to quickly brown. [STEP BY STEP: How to Roll and Top Lahmajun]( Angel Hair Pasta with Basil, Caper, and Lemon Sauce This quick-cooking dish makes for a satisfying weeknight meal. We cracked the code for cooking angel hair pasta by investigating the best cooking time for three top-selling brands. (Spoiler alert: Package directions aren’t always correct.) Because angel hair has a tendency to get weighed down by heavy sauces, we created a light pesto sauce made with basil, parsley, capers, anchovies, and other ingredients. [Best cooking times for Angel Hair: De Cecco (1.5 min), Barilla (3 min), Prince (3 min)]( Florentine Lace Cookies For a fuss-free version of these wafer-thin almond cookies, we nixed temping the hot sugar mixture in favor of removing it from the heat once it began to brown. We used orange marmalade instead of candied orange peel and corn syrup for an easier (and economical) path to bright, citrusy flavor. Tasting Toasted Sesame Oils Our tasters were surprised at the range of flavors in the oils we tasted. By doing a little bit of digging, we learned that the flavor of toasted sesame seed oils depends on the roasting time and temperature of the seeds. We were impressed with all the oils we tasted, but one stood out above the rest for its “strong sesame flavor, with a tahini-like aroma.” Find out our winning pick and the full results of other ratings in your Cook’s Illustrated 2020 Annual. Testing Cut-Resistant Gloves We tested six cut-resistant gloves, priced from about $5 to about $25, on their grip-ability, safety and protection qualities, design and fit, and ease of cleaning. Which gloves were a cut above the rest? You’ll have to snag your copy of our 2020 Annual to find out.
