Kitchen & Dining

We tested space-saving sets that nest with the handles off. One stainless set earns our top pick; here’s the nonstick and budget alternative to buy.

We tested 8-inch chef knives from Victorinox, Wüsthof, Mercer and more to find the best all-purpose blade for everyday chopping and slicing.

We tested portable charcoal grills for camping, tailgating, and small patios, from pack-flat folding models to heavy-duty tabletop cookers.

We tested coffee thermoses for heat retention, leak resistance, and easy drinking. Here are the best for commuting, sharing, and tight budgets.

We tested gluten-free survival food for storage, water needs, and honest serving counts, and found four worth keeping on the shelf.

We tested compact drink fridges from 6-can coolers to 130-can beverage centers to help you match capacity, footprint, cooling, and noise to your space.

We tested compact espresso machines for tight counters, from capsule one-touch models to pump machines with steam wands, and picked the ones worth the space.

We tested pot lid organizers for shallow cabinets, wide shelves, drawers, and doors, and picked the ones that keep glass lids visible and stable.

We tested metal and plastic cake turntables to find the ones that spin smoothly, stay put while you ice, and come with tools you’ll actually use.

We tested glass, ceramic, metal, and cast-iron pie pans to find the best for everyday pies, deep-dish fruit pies, crisp crusts, and easy release.

Our picks for even browning, clean release, and easy care, from a two-pan bargain set to a lidded Pullman pan for square sandwich bread.

We baked with eight madeleine pans to find which release cleanly, brown evenly and survive the dishwasher, plus the tinplate pan for pale-gold shells.
