Eureka! In 2007 our test cooks developed a method for authentic Texas smokehouse brisket with a slow-cooked, smoky flavor and moist, tender meat. Our rating of garlic presses uncovered a Best Buy model that costs just $12, yet outperformed fancier models costing as much as $65! Our recipe for a simple, effective marinade for juicy, flavorful chicken breasts will convince you to kick your bottled dressing habit (bottled marinades are loaded with sweeteners, stabilizers, and gums, leading to fake funky-flavored chicken). For beautiful stuffed tomatoes, place them in a nonstick muffin tin before baking for tumble-free results every time. It was also the year we performance-tested a huge range of kitchen equipment without any preconceived notions equating price to quality — and got eye-opening results that can save you substantial amounts of money. Our favorite instant-read thermometer costs $85, and displays an accurate temperature in just 4 seconds. However, if you can wait just 5 seconds more, you'll save almost $70 with our Best Buy model, which costs just $14.99 and is just as accurate, if not as quick.
