Alton Browns Gear For Your Kitchen
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. 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.
Gear For Your Kitchen 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.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars A book to live by
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.
4 Stars Comprehensive, thoughful book.
Outstanding book. A must for cooking enthusiasts. Beware of spending a lot of money on buying stuff though.
4 Stars Good reference
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.
