No editing, no fancy lighting—just straight answers.
The test cooks at America’s Test Kitchen answer your cooking questions straight from the test kitchen. We bring our laptop to the kitchen, turn on the webcam, and hit record.
To ask a question, tweet us @TestKitchen or ask us on Facebook:
Due to the high volume of questions, we are not able to answer every single one. We try our best, but the test cooks have to get back to testing recipes!
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.

The potato idea is genius!
A cast iron pan is great for battling bears!
where the hell did that grill grate come frome?
I would definitely add Ghee for the eggs.
Another good backpacking cookbook is Gretchen McHugh's Hungry Hiker's Book of Good Cooking.
Just spent the the weekend in Big Bend NP, cooking over a fire ain't a joke. Cast iron helps but don't try to go gourmet on any of your dishes. Keep it simple. These are some great ideas that I would have found helpful over the weekend. I'll keep them in mind for next time.
Thanks for the video! To the topic of backpacking cooking, I like to peruse a book my wife has, "The Well Fed Backpacker." It's pretty dated, but it's a good source of ideas, even if you don't end up using any of the recipes verbatim. There's even tips on packing for longer expeditions. Looks like it's available on Amazon.
Those cast irons are heavy. No fun if you have to hike with the stuff.
Awesome, I'd love to see a backpacking version too. MREs are scary business.
