<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This essential book for any fan of Brown--and anyone who wants a good guide to great kitchen gear--reveals everything from the invention of the "blendor" (that's the way its inventor spelled it) to the true facts behind kitchen urban legends.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Dedicated viewers of Alton Brown's acclaimed Food Network show <i>Good Eats</i> 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. <p/><i>Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen</i> offers honest, practical advice on what's needed and what isn't, what works and what doesn't. For instance: 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. <p/><i>Gear For Your Kitchen</i> is essential for all of Brown's fans as well as anyone who wants a good guide to great kitchen gear. With more than 125,000 hardcover copies in print, this indispensable--and highly entertaining--book is now offered in a paperback edition that every home cook can afford.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Alton is] one part epicure, one part Einstein..."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alton Brown is the writer, director, and host of the Food Network show <i>Good Eats</i>, which won a 2007 Peabody Award, and is the resident food historian, scientist, and color commentator of the network's <i>Iron Chef America</i> series.
