A charmingly obsessive, thoroughly tested exploration of the best ways to cook and bake your favorite foods.

Some might think the best roast chicken means most efficient without sacrificing juicy meat, while others might think best is the one that you won't be able to stop thinking about for years, no matter how long it takes in a sous vide bag. When writer Ella Quittner (creator of Food52's Absolute Best Tests) is cooking or baking something, she cannot rest until she's tested every method she can to arrive at the best result. Even if that means traveling to Tokyo to learn the trick to extra juicy tsukune for her tender meatballs or spending time in the Alabama Black Belt gathering intel from the pros for her flakiest biscuits.
