Can I alter the recipe with different ingredients or portion sizes?

  • Updated

Here at America’s Test Kitchen, we pride ourselves on our tireless research and rigorous testing to ensure that each recipe we bring to you comes out right, every time! During the development process we test our recipes 25-30 times in a very specific manner to ensure the best results. We do not recommend altering our recipes with ingredient swaps or portion alterations, due to changes in flavor, texture, cooking time, and other variables that might alter our final version. While we encourage all home cooks to experiment, if we haven’t tested it, we cannot speak to any variations you make on our thoroughly-tested recipes.

Small Portions. We have a handful of cookbooks with recipes for smaller portion sizes and single servings.

Large Portions. We also have a handful of options for when you are looking to cook for larger crowds or in larger portions.
