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.

I am totally going to do this when I go camping.

I've used these wine bladders for cold packs. Another use: wash the insides with clean water and fill, getting the last air bubble out through the spigot; now you have clean water stored for emergencies. And they don't leak. Leave them on the garage floor.

Put the ice pack on top. Cold air flows downwards over your food and it will actually stay cold.
