What is America's Test Kitchen Online Cooking School?
Our Cooking School is designed to help cooks of all levels master a variety of cooking techniques from anywhere and at any time. Our interactive online cooking tools help teach cooking concepts and test your understanding of these concepts. Courses and lessons vary in duration, and you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like with a course. There is no set schedule and no limit to how many courses you can take at any time. Preview our course catalog here.
Most courses and lessons don't require specialized kitchen equipment, and each course clearly outlines the tools and equipment that you will need.
We don’t currently offer grades for the courses, and there are no prerequisites to sign up. If you sign up for instructor access, you'll receive thorough feedback from your instructor, and he or she will work to help you improve your craft in the kitchen. The Online Cooking School also has content quizzes after most lessons, which is a great way to gauge your own progress!
If you're interested in giving the Online Cooking School a test drive, you can sign up for a 14-Day Free Trial here.

What is America’s Test Kitchen Kids?
America’s Test Kitchen is no longer just for adults! We created America’s Test Kitchen Kids because we wanted to inspire a new generation of empowered cooks, engaged eaters, and curious experimenters. We teach everything—from the basics, such as how to fry an egg and hold a knife, to advanced tasks such as baking and frosting a cake or making a really good stir-fry—to help kids feel like pros in their own kitchens. The America’s Test Kitchen Kids site is filled with kid-tested recipes and hands-on activities designed to teach kids about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). Additionally, we are publishing cookbooks written for kids ages 8 to 13 and whimsical board books for future foodies. Learn more about America's Test Kitchen Kids here.

What are sponsors?
America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country have relied on sponsors since the very first season. Our sponsors’ financial support covers the costs of filming, editing, and distributing the series to your local public television station. Without them, we wouldn't be able to produce our TV programs!

How does this differ from advertisem*nt?
Sponsors do not influence our editorial content, and we do not endorse our sponsor's products on our television show. America’s Test Kitchen will always remain ad-free, and you can expect the same level of trust and unbiased approach from us.
Was this question helpful?YesNo
So why do you charge for your services?
While our sponsors support our TV production costs, contributions from our members and subscribers allow us to continue to do what we love best: create unbiased content and fool-proof recipes, free of ads.
Was this question helpful?YesNo
Then why are you on public television?
We’re able to air on public TV thanks to your financial support of your own local public television station! Your donations to your local station allow them to carry the America’s Test Kitchen series as well as other programming.

I saw the ATK logo on a product. Do you make products now?
We DO NOT manufacture equipment or ingredients. However, we want to spread the good word about products that our ATK Reviews team finds through extensive testing to deliver superior quality and value to home cooks. We work with EnVeritas Group, our accolades licensing partner, to invite manufacturers of these products to license ATK’s Winners Badge for use in product packaging and marketing. For more information, please visit their site at https://enveritasgroup.com/atk.
Yes, and no (smile). We DO make and sell fun (and fan favorite!) branded merchandise, such as apparel, tote bags, prints, and lots more, in the ATK Shop.
