From YouTube's America's Test Kitchen Hannah Crowley Releases Kitchen Gear

When it comes to successful, enjoyable home cooking, starting with the right kitchen equipment is every bit as important as following a good recipe. Think about all the ways that your equipment can make or break your experience in the kitchen. A skillet that heats unevenly might leave you with nothing to show for your efforts but a scorched mess. An ice cream maker that turns out soupy frozen desserts might have you swearing off home-made ice cream forever. On the other hand, tools that work as they’re intended make your life easier and your time in the kitchen more rewarding. A sharp vegetable peeler breezes through tough squash skin; a good coffee maker extracts the perfect balance of flavors from coffee beans; an absorbent dish towel makes cleaning up after yourself just that much less tedious. America’s Test Kitchen’s Kitchen Gear book is a manual for your entire kitchen. ATK’s kitchen equipment experts Lisa McManus and Hannah Crowley, (hosts of ATK’s popular Gear Heads YouTube show), share everything they’ve learned during their decades of hands-on equipment testing, from buying dos and don’ts to maintenance and cleaning tips to stories from their own experiences.
