Our Top 10 Test Kitchen Recipes Of 2013

Test Kitchen day is always a happy day. I'm off in our incredibly secret concrete bunker deep in Brooklyn dreaming up the things you've indicated interest in cooking and eating. If you're digging jalapeño poppers or some crazy dessert, that means I'm not going to come up with four mini-quiche variations you will neither make nor consume, nor will I take your favorite dessert recipe and "cupcake-ize" it or stick it in a jar. You want to make that rigatoni with the stretchy cheese. I want you to make it, too.

Behold: our 10 most popular Test Kitchen recipes of 2013. If we can make it, you can. There's breakfast, baked pasta, tailgating delights, mind-blowing fancy dinner centerpieces and how to transform an entire lobster into one of the best burgers you've ever had, no meat grinder necessary. (Seriously, don't meat-grind lobster. Are you nuts?)

Bon appétit. We're looking forward to stirring up the madness in 2014!
