Description
The Absolute Best Way to Do Almost Anything in the Kitchen
The first book on technique from America's Test Kitchen showcases 100 groundbreaking techniques that will transform your cooking life, paired with more than 200 creative, modern recipes that put the techniques into real-world, home-kitchen practice. From making the most tender burger patties to grill-roasting a leg of lamb, from making pan sauces for cutlets to simmering homemade duck confit, from griddling the fluffiest pancakes to tempering chocolate, making caramel, and baking French pastry, the test cooks of ATK shine their spotlight on simpler, smarter, foolproof strategies.
The first section, Essentials Every Home Cook Should Know, covers core techniques. Learn why it's crucial to season with salt properly before and during cooking for the best Roasted Bone-In Chicken Breasts and Crispy Salt and Pepper Shrimp. Cook any piece of salmon to silky perfection through our high-low roasting technique. The middle section, Techniques You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without, includes techniques we developed from an unexpected angle of discovery. Bake crusty, golden, bubbly-topped pizza by using a skillet. Fry easy, restaurant-quality homemade French fries by starting the potatoes in room-temperature oil. The final section, The Bucket List, gives you the know-how to make dreamed-about projects come true. Barbecue true Texas beef ribs in a standard kettle grill. Cure your own bacon or gravlax in your refrigerator. Bake, assemble, and decorate a show-stopping layer cake for any special occasion.

        This latest guide (The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook: 2001-2021, The Best of America's Test Kitchen, The Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs) from the chefs behind the popular, long-running PBS show is based on the guiding philosophy: "We make mistakes so you don't have to." Framed around techniques rather than meals or ingredients, the recipes included run the gamut of flavor and cuisine, making this a great tool to develop cooking skills in new home chefs. Divided into three parts, the sections include: "Essentials Every Home Cook Should Know," featuring techniques such as seasoning with salt, making vinaigrettes, prepping vegetables, prepping rice, and roasting; "Techniques You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without," such as using aquafaba, brining beans, caramelizing onions, and cooking pasta in sauce; and "The Bucket List," complex and aspirational techniques such as fermenting pickles the traditional way, smoking ribs with tea leaves, and baking and assembling a layer cake. VERDICT Multiple recipes illustrating each technique allow for experimentation and different options to master each method. Perfect for newbies who want to impress or experienced cooks looking to level up.--Gricel Dominguez, Florida International Univ. Lib., Miami

        April 6, 2020
        The America’s Test Kitchen cooks bring their collective knowledge to bear on this diverse collection of tips and illustrate their points with more than 200 recipes. The first and lengthiest chapter, “Essentials Every Home Cook Should Know” includes helpful tips: flavorings should be applied when and where they are most effective (salt chicken breasts under the skin before baking and sprinkle the salt from a height of 12 inches to achieve even distribution); attention should be paid to textures (lumpy batter, for example, results in fluffier pancakes and muffins). The “Techniques You Didn’t Know You Couldn’t Live Without” chapter is full of ways to simplify kitchen chores: using a blender is the key to foolproof hollandaise and béarnaise sauces; freezing live lobster before putting them in the pot is the best form of sedation, and an instant-read thermometer provides a no-fail way of knowing when items are done cooking. The bucket list chapter includes fun projects, such as concocting homemade cocktail bitters and smoking ribs indoors in an oven preheated to 500 degrees before lowering to 250 after 30 minutes (and using tea leaves instead of wood chips for the smoke). Time-tested wisdom proves to be the most important ingredient in this eclectic and engaging tome.
