Featured Taste Tests from Our TV Show
Reduced-Fat Potato Chips
With reduced-fat chips crowding the snack aisle, we wondered if an acceptable stand-in for fried potato chips existed. We purchased eight national brands and called in 22 test cooks and editors for a blind taste test.
Black Forest Deli Ham
In Germany, this boneless ham is a traditional regional specialty produced according to strict “Protected Geographic Indication” regulations. Could any domestic versions compare?
Chocolate Ice Cream
Are dense, rich premium brands better than light, fluffy, mass-market ice creams? The answer might surprise you.
Canned Chicken Noodle Soup
Our winners had two things in common: plenty of salt and MSG.
Decaffeinated Coffees
Has grocery store decaf coffee improved as much as the high-octane stuff in recent years? Or is that asking for the moon?
Canned Baked Beans
A sweet discovery helped us see which baked beans are best.
