Book Reviews of the Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
Customer Review: Deserves 10 stars!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me about an hour to read the first 45 pages. In them, I have learned the 'Pros' and 'Cons' of each type of cookware I own as well as how to properly care for each and, more importantly, 'WHY' each type is treated in a different way. For example, did you know that Anodized Aluminum is 30% harder than Stainless Steel, yet should never be washed in the dishwasher or the hard anodized surface will discolor and fail?
Interspersed among cookware facts and suggestions are recipies that will not overwhelm even the fledgeling chef. The most exotic ingredients in the first few of these were Kosher Sea Salt and Rice Wine Vinegar.
This 255 page hardcover book is written in a breezy, matter-of-fact way and has something for everyone. Its 'Bargain' price (list price of $27.50) plus free shipping makes this the perfect stocking stuffer and would be a godsend for young people setting up their first homes away from home.
Way to go Amazon and Alton Brown!
