Customer Reviews of Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
Customer Rating:  Summary: A book to live by Comment: The wife and I used this book when we registered for our wedding. It was perfect in helping us decide what was really necessary and what was junk that would clutter out kitchen. I highly recommend this book for learning about different types of cooking tools. Customer Rating:  Summary: Explains lots Comment: I got this for the Hubby and he loves it. It has a lot of info on items to make things easier. I'm all for Alton Brown and getting the Hubby in the kitchen. Customer Rating: Summary: Good reference Comment: Being a fan of Mr. Brown's "Good Eats" I was kind of hoping this book would read more like a story. It will be kept in the kitchen as a reference for any future purchases but it is not the type of book you read from cover to cover. Customer Rating: Summary: Comprehensive, thoughful book. Comment: Outstanding book. A must for cooking enthusiasts. Beware of spending a lot of money on buying stuff though. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy Reading With Excellent Information!! Comment: This is a must have for any Alton Brown fan!! The book is full of great information on kitchen must haves and items to pass up. Highly recommended! More Reviews Dedicated viewers of Alton Brown's acclaimed Food Network show Good Eats know of his penchant for using unusual equipment. He has smoked a salmon in a cardboard box, roasted prime rib in a flowerpot, and used a C-clamp as a nutcracker. Brown isn't interested in novelty, he's just devoted to using the best-and simplest-tool for the job. Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen offers honest, practical advice on what's needed and what isn't, what works and what doesn't. His advice: You only need three knives, but they are a lifetime investment. And don't bother with that famous countertop grill-it doesn't get hot enough to properly sear. In his signature science-guy style, Brown begins with advice on kitchen layout and organization, then gets to the lowdown on these cooking elements: Big Things with Plugs; Pots and Pans; Sharp Things; The Tool Box; Small Things with Plugs; Storage and Containment; and Safety and Sanitation. Along the way he delves deep into kitchen science and appliance history and legend. Included are 25 brand-new recipes that employ featured gear. Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen is essential for all of his fans-and anyone who wants a good guide to great kitchen gear. 
Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out. Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
