The Serious Eats Test Kitchen is staffed by a group of experienced culinary professionals who rigorously test and develop recipes. Every recipe published by Serious Eats goes through a comprehensive cross-testing process, and our Test Kitchen staff ensure measurements and times are accurate; that instructions are logical and easy to follow; that, as appropriate, there are helpful auditory, tactile, visual, and olfactory cues; that recipes call for the correct equipment; and that our recipes produce the desired, optimal results, every time.
In addition to our Test Kitchen, Serious Eats employs a number of freelance cross-testers who also put our recipes through a rigorous testing process. Those professionals come from a wide variety of culinary backgrounds, including those who are cooks and chefs, bakers, food writers and editors, recipe developers, and professional photographers.
