Could you talk some about the logic of pricing of the subscriptions & requiring separate subscriptions to print, website, digital? You guys seem to be lagging behind your competitors on this front, and I, among other subscribers, feel like we are being nickle-and-dimed on access to content... Frankly I'd prefer to put up with some advertisements, but I know that's not your company mantra.

What modern technique or equipment (sous vide, pressure cooking, etc) do you think has the most payoff for the home cook?

Hot off email from CI "About your winning comment: We're not willing to make the same sacrifices some of competitors are willing to make when it comes to accepting advertising money. Without relying on advertisers, we can be entirely truthful with our taste tests and equipment reviews. However, we still have to make money or else we don't get to pay our "social media" "team" to "work" by hosting the America's Test Kitchen Thanksgiving AMA on reddit. Those guys (girls, actually) are just the best. I'm glad they work here.

Anyways, we weren't ignoring you, but everyone knows that a response during the AMA would have derailed the entire conversation. And it's important to us that the world knows we only lock up Guy Crosby during filming."

In bad news, they didn't answer my question. In good news, they just notified me I won the subscription!... so I guess I'm in for a year now. We'll see what happens after that. I don't see myself ponying up $70 for website access for 1 year though.

You guys are being suspiciously silent on this one...
