Product Testing

Our Commerce editors are committed to making sure readers are equipped with the most up-to-date information
regarding the best tools and appliances on the market. We diligently cross-test as many products as we can to
determine what will go the distance. Our product testing is conducted in home kitchens—not professional
kitchens—to br more accurately simulate how they’ll be used once you make your purchase.

Recipe Development

Epicurious is your destination for recipes and the information you need to help you get the most out of your home
kitchen. Our original recipes are developed with the home cook in mind, and they’re geared toward solving your
weeknight dinner quandaries, providing you with classic versions of regional favorites, satisfying your sweetest
cravings, and offering you a drink whenever you need one.

Our test kitchen editors are constantly researching, developing new flavor combinations and cooking techniques (Have
you tried Jesse Szewczyk's Pasta With No-Cook Zucchini Sauce?), and bringing them to the team for discussion. From
there, a recipe goes through multiple rounds of tastings and analysis to ensure the flavor, cooking method, number
of ingredients, and tools required are just right. When an editor feels confident about a recipe, it’s cross-tested
by another cook, final edits are made, and it’s sent to our photo team for its turn in the spotlight..
