I'm considering going with a similar measuring spoon set. I'm more a 6-spoon set person, though ATK says these 5 are all you need. I do find myself using 1/2 tablesoon often
Why are the roasting pan’s handles bent inwards. The pan isn’t too big for a standard oven if they straightened the handles a bit.
Have you done an updated video for potato Ricer.. these are now about $19.00 on Amazon and the reviews are not the best. Water in the handle, hard to wash, hard to push the potatoes out.

I'm certain that the $100 roasting tray and $100 thermometer are great to have, but they're absolutely luxuries. You can get perfectly functional alternatives for a fifth of that price. I've seen your thermometer testing methods, and you put waaaay too much stock in fancy features when all a thermometer needs is to be able to accurately and quickly measure temperature.

Their new favorite fat separator is by cuisipro
Do you recommend an electric roaster to cook a turkey? Thanks .
I keep mentioning this. pronounce the names slowly and you should have it written on the screen. half the time I can't understand you when you announce the winning product.
Awesome info, Thanks. I was just about to order a potato ricer, being able to rest it on the bowl is exactly what I need. You've just saved me buying a mistake. I love your comparison videos.
The producer must have told this woman "NEVER SMILE!"
Did I hear correctly, a $96 thermometer?
They should add captions for the brands of the gadgets. It's difficult for me to understand the brand of that fat separator.
That dough cutter / scraper is useless to me. Instead of dicing with a chef's knife and then switching to a scraper to put the bits in the pan, I use a cleaver, which does both jobs. I picked up the habit of using a cleaver as my main knife while living in China. It cuts straighter and easier than a long, thin chef's knife.
a bunch of these gravy separator have a plug for the pour spout is there a reason why this one doesn't need it?
$100 is way too much for a thermometer. most can do an adequate job and cost much less. can you trust them when that turkey looks dry as heck?
So much goodness and value. Thanks much.
for everyone saying that the thermopen is way too much and that you can get a cheap one on Amazon is missing the point of what ATK does. they test all over the cheap ones and expensive ones. there is a reason the $100 one is the best. I do own one and it is awesome, I use it for everything from smoking, baking, cooking, chocolate and candy making. you get what you pay for, they are cheap for a reason. let ATK spend the money testing instead of me doing it, Lisa just tell me what to buy, it's easier!
Why did you wrap the rack in aluminum foil? How are you going to use the drippings for gravy
how does this channel not get more traffic on youtube? they obviously do a lot more than just what they post
$100 may seem like a lot of money for a thermometer but if you do quite a bit of cooking, its worth its weight in gold. how many times have you over cooked a nice piece of steak, a fast and accurate thermometer takes all the guess work out.
How about showing us the recipe for that pecan pie!
Good info, thermometer for $100 it way too much.
I would love to know your recommendations on gas and electric cook tops as well as ovens.
