Here's how proud the Baltimore area is of its crabmeat. Go ahead, look at the photo. Actually, mine don't do them justice — the real Baltimore crab pretzels are legit twisted stadium pretzels roughly the size of a dinner plate and positively coated with thick crab salad and shredded cheese. I use pre-made pizza dough to achieve very nearly the same results in an hour or less.

How to battle pepper burns with particular gusto

Putting together the list of the top 10 Test Kitchen recipes of 2012 certainly was a walk down memory lane. I was struck with a memory of what happened to Assistant Contributing Editor Laila Gohar, then editorial and test kitchen intern, when I saw our recipes for jalapeño poppers. I hope for everyone's sake (but especially hers) that this never happens to you.

When the FDA finally comes out with their list of Top 5 Most Important Tailgating Foods (should be any day now), I expect to see nachos close to the top. As I demonstrated recently with our other nacho-centric Test Kitchen creation, Baja Fish Nachos, a good topping can elevate a simple party dish into...dare I suggest, a meal?

Our favorite tacos meet nachos. Mexican showdown!

The thought of folding and frying 20 fried fish empanadas in non-self-adhesive dough and finding five or six photogenic ones made me sad, so I decided to throw the whole concept on top of nachos. Problem solved. Shortly after this photo was taken, the team descended upon this plate like sharks. That's the only measure of success we use in Test Kitchen.
