Hot or Not? Wall-Mounted Food Dispensers

Survey: Small Electrics On the Counter or in a Cupboard?

As you set up a new kitchen or optimize your workspace during the Kitchen Cure, a big decision is whether to keep anything out on the countertop. Where do you keep your toaster, stand mixer, food proc...

Orange Juice: Morning Necessity or Empty Calories?

Orange juice was always part of breakfast when we were kids (drink it before you brush your teeth, always), but as we've gotten older, we've stopped buying it. With more than 100 calories in 8 ouncesâ...

Hot or Not? All-Clad Ultimate Chicken Roaster

Just when we thought there weren't any new ways to roast a chicken, All-Clad comes out with the suspension bridge of chicken roasters. This roasting pan has a cantilevered arm designed to hold a chick...

What Color Is Your Kitchen?

We've been talking color, color, color this month, with the Fall Colors Contest in full swing, and with harvest in glorious color all around us. But we've never really asked you directly: What col...

Survey: Side-by-Side or Top-Bottom Fridge and Freezer?

Do You Cook Less In The Summer?

Survey: What Kind of Kitchen Floors Do You Have?

On Monday we showed you a kitchen with eco-friendly (not to mention leg muscle-friendly) cork floors. We're guessing, though, that most of you have something more traditional. We're curious what kind ...

Survey: Do You Have More than One Freezer?

As we talk about all things chilly and frozen this month, we're wondering how many of you have an extra freezer (maybe one of those big chests in the garage?) to store batches of homemade ice cream, b...

Survey: Are You Looking Forward to Seeing Julie & Julia?

Who doesn't know yet about Julie & Julia, a movie that combines two best selling books about food into one very well-publicized film? The books (Julie & Julia and My Life in France) have been ...

Hot or Not? Fancy Fast Food

Look at the photo — doesn't that look like little plates of fancy appetizers or tapas? Well, look again. They are actually little bites from deconstructed and fancified White Castle burgers. In ...

Egg Sandwich Survey: Fried or Scrambled?

We adore breakfast sandwiches with eggs. But up until last weekend, that invariably meant a fried egg. We hadn't ever even considered scrambled eggs on a sandwich. But then we ordered this scrumptious...

Hot or Not? Pepper Corer

Yes, yes, yes. We know this jalapeño pepper corer is a uni-tasker. But some uni-taskers are that way for a reason: there's no other way to get the job done. So we want to know, is this particular uni...

Hot or Not? KitchenAid Citrus Juicer Attachment

I love alfresco dining as much as any romantic but even as I dream about cold roast chicken and seven-layer salad under a big tree, I also have to wonder: but what about the bugs? Mosquitos, flies, m...

Survey: Do You Enjoy Picnics?

This is the time of year when parks suddenly fill with happy picnickers toting hampers, blankets, and hot dogs. What about you? Do you love picnicking outdoors in the back yard or the park, or do you ...

What's Your Go-To Cracker to Have on Hand?

We recently had a casual discussion with friends about the best house cracker—you know, the one you always buy for the cheese plate, always have around to snack on, etc. One person argued veheme...

Survey: How Do You Eat Mussels?

As much as we love mussels, they are definitely a labor-intensive dish to eat! And no matter how we do it, we always manage to end up with sticky fingers and dribbles of clam juice down the front of o...

We're working on a small design contest that would take submissions over the summer, post them in August and then show off the winners in early September. Right now we're narrowing down the boundarie...

Hot or Not? Slicing Guide

This slicing guide is a product that we instinctively feel like we should ridicule. What a unitasker! And yet we are so uncoordinated that our tomato slices often come out either wispy or chunky &mdas...

Reader Survey: Do You Still Bake No-Knead Bread?

We're always fascinated by the cooking sensations that come and go in the zeitgeist of the internet. Bacon is perennially popular, as are cupcakes. But there are also recipes and ideas that burst forw...

Survey: How Do You Slice a Strawberry?

In the interest of time, we usually slice right across the top. But that does leave a little wasted berry around the top (which we usually nibble on while we're cutting). Our alternative is to take...
