America’s Test Kitchen is a real 2,500 square foot test kitchen located just outside of Boston that is home to more than three dozen full-time cooks and product testers. Our mission is simple: to develop the absolute best recipes for all of your favorite foods. To do this, we test each recipe 30, 40, sometimes as many as 70 times, until we arrive at the combination of ingredients, technique, temperature, cooking time, and equipment that yields the best, most-foolproof recipe.
Each week, the cast of America’s Test Kitchen brings the recipes, testings, and tastings from Cook’s Illustrated magazine to life on our public television series. With more than 2 million viewers per episode, we are the most-watched cooking show on public television.
More than 1.3 million home cooks rely on Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s Country magazines to provide trusted recipes that work, honest ratings of equipment and supermarket ingredients, and kitchen tips.

She said "if it is a great pan, who cares how green it is. " Seriously??????????????????????????????
Cast iron and carbon steel pans have replaced all of the crap pans I’ve been using for years. They work perfectly, you can use and abuse them but you can’t hurt them. Plus I’m not eating poison when I cook.
What idiot is heating a pan to 600+ degrees lol
Hi guys u all r doing a grt job!! Wanna know hw abt ceramic skillet of green life what's their score? Keep up the good job.! Thanks
Everyone should just use some mixture of stainless steel, cast iron, and carbon steel and never buy another pan again. That's the most environmentally friendly you can be.
What about 100% ceramic, like an Xtrema?
Time for reassessment on these?
i have a small white ceramic-coated pan that i use for eggs. thats about all theyre good for.
I'll stick with my cast iron and carbon steel.
Beka is making what I consider the best non-stick pans.
The ceramic non-stick instructions include directions on seasoning or polymerizing oil into the surface of the pan. This can be done on stainless steel or cast iron to make them 'non-stick'. -Just don't wash them with detergent unless you want to re-season them. To review these pans is a waste of our time. It's a shame that cooks and chefs in general know so little about care and maintenance of equipment.
Disappointing. I guess people will just have to take the time to make their own cast iron, to avoid nasty chemicals. Hopefully, technology will catch up soon though.
