Episode Guide

Current Season | Season 7 | Season 6 | Season 5 | Season 4 | Season 3 | Season 2 | Season 1

A New Way with Turkey
We wanted an easier alternative to brining—one that would produce a well-seasoned moist turkey with minimal fuss.

Asian Take-Out at Home
This version of a Thai favorite uses supermarket ingredients but doesn’t sacrifice flavor.

Bistro Steak Dinner
Our sure-fire method for pan-searing thick-cut steaks delivers both a flavorful crust and juicy, rosy meat throughout.

Chicken in a Skillet
It’s not a surprise that so many cooks turn to chicken breasts for dinner. They’re convenient, low in fat, and when made right, juicy and satisfying. But boredom is inevitable.

Coffeehouse Treats
Two breakfast treats simple enough to make at home.

Cookie Jar Favorites
Two favorite cookies: one so chocolaty it’s almost a brownie, the other moist, chewy, and packed with butterscotch flavor.

Drive-In Specials
We developed a method for turning out juicy, well-done burgers that we’d be proud to serve—and happy to eat.

Easy Skillet Suppers
Streamlined methods for these Italian-American favorites condense all the steps into one skillet—yes, even the noodles.

Favorite Slow Cooker Classics
Most of us think of the slow cooker as a kitchen workhorse best reserved for use during the week for simple stews, hearty soups, and the like. But what about pulling the slow cooker out for entertaining?

Fish on the Grill
We took the fear out of grilling fish and tackled blackened grilled snapper and glazed salmon.

Four-Cheese Lasagna
An elegant lasagna with the right combination of cheeses and a smooth and creamy, not heavy and greasy, sauce.

French Apple Tart
An apple tart with flair—and a thin and flaky crust sturdy enough to support tender slices of caramelized apple.

French Classics
Streamlined versions of two classic French recipes.

Grilled Cornish Game Hens
An alternative to grilled chicken, our crisp-skinned Cornish hens offer moist, juicy meat infused with great grilled flavor.

Holiday Beef Tenderloin Dinner
When you’re looking for a main course for the winter holidays that won’t disappoint, look no further than beef tenderloin.

Indian Favorites, Simplified
We develop home-cook-friendly versions of two Indian favorites: vegetable curry and chicken tikka masala.

Italian-American Classics
A simpler, easier method for making manicotti that wouldn’t test our patience.

Kansas City BBQ
These meaty ribs are slow-smoked for their trademark flavor—and traditional recipes truly do take all day to barbecue. Is there a faster way?

Lemon Layer Cake
This is a cake that tastes as great as it looks.

Lightening Up Chocolate Desserts
Revamping the fat and calories in two favorite chocolate desserts—chocolate mousse and chocolate brownies.

Old-Fashioned Breakfast Cakes
A slice of a warm, cinnamon-scented breakfast cake is a very pleasant way to ease into the day.

Pasta and Tomatoes, Reimagined
We don’t have anything against spaghetti and meatballs or pasta with marinara, but the world of pasta and tomatoes extends far beyond these popular standbys. Enter Penne alla Vodka and Pasta Caprese.

Pizza Party
We set out to develop a better-than-takeout pizza in which the crust shares equal billing with the toppings and each is full of flavor—not grease.

Rainy Day BBQ Pork Chops
There’s no getting around it—unless your climate is warm year-round, grilling season is limited and often downright short.

Two Ways with Shrimp
We explore two elegant approaches to shrimp—one hot dish and one cold dish—and find the very best way to prepare each of them.

White Chicken Chili Supper
Chicken chili might sound like heresy—after all isn’t chili supposed to be made with beef? But this Southwestern dish is a light, bright alternative to tomato-rich beef chili.
