Test Kitchen, Home Kitchen

Each of four kitchens is set up like a home kitchen so that the cooking conditions mirror that of your home. The appliances and pantry staples are just like that of a typical household. Even the groceries are purchased at ordinary stores. Besides being staffed by Test Kitchen Professionals, it might as well be your next-door neighbor’s kitchen.
