Q: What happens to all the food on Americas Test Kitchen?

Weve been composting since February 2019. Leftover food gets put in this community refrigerator and scooped up by hungry employees. This system ensures food gets tracked and recirculated, when possible. So you know which products are worth your money (and we know which ones to stock in the Test Kitchen).

Is ATK subscription worthwhile?

ATK specializes in finding the best techniques to produce popular dishes, and sometimes they have excellent advice. They also do those reviews of kitchen equipment, which can be useful if you're thinking of buying something, but not worth the price of a full subscription. At least, not to me.

What happens to all the food on America's Test Kitchen?

How is America's Test Kitchen funded?

Your financial support of your local public television station helps to allow your local station to carry the America's Test Kitchen series and other programming. However, the direct production costs for the series (filming, editing, and distribution to your local television station) are covered by our sponsors.
