Our Process
Our content is a reflection of the people who create it. We boast highly authentic staff who live and breathe food, cooking, grills, and cookware.
Instead of choosing regular writers and having them write on recipes and everything else to do with cooking, we prioritize extensive culinary skills and cooking experience when hiring.
Every recipe published on Fascinating Sky is tested 1 to 4 times in our test kitchens. Trained test kitchen staff prepare each recipe and taste it.
Other people working in our test kitchens include food stylists, registered dieticians, and professional photographers.
We don’t publish a recipe until we are certain that it is the tastiest version out there. Also, we constantly update our old recipes with new improvements and techniques based on further testing and suggestions from our esteemed readers.
Then we have our test labs, where we test cooking tools from pellet grills to air fryers. We start by buying the products or requesting testing samples.
We then test the kitchen tools, testing each tool beyond its ordinary home use. After that, we send the products to our network of expert testers who rigorously examine the products in their homes.
Our readers expect content from true professionals, and we deliver exactly that.
The process doesn’t end there; after our testers test recipes and kitchen tools, we then take considerable time to convert the test results into helpful content.
