Prepared Foods
Frozen Straight-Cut French Fries
Homemade fries are not usually an option for weeknight cooking—but was there a frozen brand good enough to earn a place in our freezer?
Ice Cream Cones
We tasted five supermarket sugar cones and waffle cones (after much debate, we decided to save cup-style “cake” cones for another day), both plain and filled with vanilla ice cream.
Supermarket Cheese Ravioli
Store-bought cheese ravioli offer convenience, but would any pass muster?
Aerosol Whipped Cream
Whipped cream in a can is convenient, but do the flavor and texture measure up to homemade?
Graham Crackers
We tasted three top-selling national brands to see which came out on top.
