The Outdoor Cook is America's Test Kitchen's 352-page guide to cooking whole meals outside, with more than 150 tested recipes for gas and charcoal grills, flat-top griddles, fire pits, smokers and pizza ovens. It also teaches fire set-ups and heat levels and reviews the gear, so you can convert many recipes from one cooker to another.
Tested until it can't go wrong
America's Test Kitchen is famous for cooking a recipe over and over until it works every time, and this book brings that discipline outdoors. It goes well beyond burgers, drawing on more than 25 years of the team's outdoor cooking to cover snacks, sides, breads and desserts as well as the mains.
What's inside
The front section explains fire set-ups and heat levels and reviews the equipment: grills, griddles, planchas, rotisseries, pizza ovens and smokers. The recipes are then grouped by occasion, including Snacks and Small Plates, Both Hands Needed, Weeknight Dinners, Weekend Gatherings, Over an Open Fire, Grilled Breads and Desserts.
Highlights named by the publisher include Smoked Loaded Nachos, Grilled Oysters with Soy-Citrus Sauce, Grilled Smokehouse Barbecue Burgers, Kansas City-Style Barbecue Ribs, a New England Clambake, Paella for a Crowd, Thin-Crust Grilled Pizza and Glazed Rotisserie Pineapple with Salted Rum Butterscotch Sauce.
Who it's for
New outdoor cooks who want recipes that just work, campers and caravanners cooking over a fire pit, and anyone who's just bought a griddle or pizza oven and wants more out of it. Experienced cooks will value the gear reviews and conversion notes.
About America's Test Kitchen
America's Test Kitchen is a Boston-based team of more than 60 test cooks behind the Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country brands, long-running public television shows and a large library of cookbooks. Every recipe is tested repeatedly before it's published.
The Rub Smuggler's Verdict
🏴☠️ Darryl's Secret: Campfire Banana Boats
Dessert with no plates, no pans and no evidence.
You'll need: Bananas (skin on), a few squares of dark chocolate, mini marshmallows, foil
Do this:
- Slit each banana lengthways through the top skin, leaving the bottom skin intact, and open it up a little.
- Stuff with chocolate and marshmallows, then wrap tightly in foil.
- Nestle into medium coals for 5 to 8 minutes until gooey, then eat with a spoon straight from the skin.
Why it works: The banana skin acts as its own little pot, steaming the fruit while the chocolate and marshmallow melt.
