America’s Test Kitchen is the home of Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines, America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country from America’s Test Kitchen public television shows, dozens of best-selling cookbooks, member websites, America’s Test Kitchen Cooking School, and America’s Test Kitchen Kids. We have a single mission: to empower and inspire confidence, community, and creativity in the kitchen.
America’s Test Kitchen Kits for Cooks are carefully selected collections of our highest-rated kitchen equipment, paired with recipes and instruction. Each piece of equipment has been thoroughly, independently tested by our experts. We design and source our kits to help you get started on a new type of cooking or to upgrade your kitchen tool set. Your entire kit will arrive in one package.
Because pieces from our kits are packaged together, we’re unable to separate items or accommodate individual requests. All sales are final, and we cannot accept returns on individual items or whole kits. If you’re looking to purchase these items separately, visit our equipment reviews and click the “Buy Now” button on our top-rated items.

By ordering a Cook’s Illustrated Annual, Cook’s Country Annual or Best of America’s Test Kitchen Annual, you will be enrolled in America’s Test Kitchen’s Annual Series, receiving free previews of future annual editions as they are released each year. We will always send you a notification postcard in advance of each preview shipment, describing the book. You may decline your preview copy by returning our postage-paid reply card within 30 days. Otherwise, you will receive your preview copy for a 21-day free preview and be invoiced at our lowest prevailing price plus shipping and handling.

Occasionally you may notice that a kit has different items in it than before. There are many reasons why we might change the composition of a kit. The two most likely reasons are: (1) Our equipment testing team updated their review for a particular item and no longer rate it as highly; (2) We determined that changing the composition of a kit makes it a better value for our customers.
For fans of our TV shows and brands, branded apparel and gear makes a fun gift. We are constantly looking for new and fun items to make available for our fans. If you have any ideas or requests, let us know!
Please note, any branded apparel and gear is entirely independent of our equipment testing process. For example, our branded aprons have no connection to the products tested in the development our apron equipment review.
America’s Test Kitchen Exclusive Deals are highly rated products available in limited quantities for a limited time. When it is possible to source a great deal on products that have been independently recommended by the America’s Test Kitchen equipment testing team, we pass those savings along to our fans and subscribers.
Items are available only while supplies last. We’re unable to backorder or accommodate wait-list requests.

Recipes and activities range in time: Some can be completed in 15 minutes, while others might require short intervals of time over the course of two days. Each box includes activities with varying levels of complexity and time commitment; both difficulty level and required time are clearly marked on every recipe or activity card in the box.

Every recipe, experiment, and activity that we publish has been tested by a group of more than 15,000 kid recipe testers across the country. Recipe testers give us feedback via surveys (or, occasionally, in our test kitchen). We will not publish a recipe or experiment unless at least 80 percent of testers would either make it again or recommend it to a friend.
Parents and legal guardians can register kids to be recipe testers here.
