Season 3 Episodes

We take on two Italian classics and uncover the secrets to preparing the perfect Italian Pot Roast and foolproof Baked Manicotti at home.

We show you how to make two sweet-tooth-satisfying desserts: Chocolate Cream Cupcakes and Texas Sheet Cake. Then tasting expert Jack Bishop challenges host Chris Kimball to a tasting of hot cocoa.

We bring home two grilled favorites—Texas Barbecued Beef Ribs and Char-Grilled Steaks—and then Adam Ried reveals which paper plates are strong enough to support them at your next barbecue.

Bridget Lancaster shows how to make a Southern original, Batter-Fried Chicken, which we serve alongside another Southern staple: Sweet Corn Spoonbread.

Join us as we prepare pork two ways. First, we find an easy way to build big flavor in our Crispy Pan-Fried Pork Chops, then we use our slow cooker to make the perfect Pork Pot Roast.
