  1. I do so much of this stuff, but I grew up watching you guys instead of cartoons. I love learning the food science behind stuff, I went to culinary school and learned some stuff but never got to go back to learn more food science. I now have permanent nerve and muscle damage and got told I could never go back to my field it broke my heart and crushed my soul. I love getting bananas really ripe and then freezing them and then when thawing them the cellular structure breaks down and makes almost a banana liqueur type thing and all that goes in when making banana bread. And I do love a higher fruit ratio, I actually made a peach cobbler the other day where I cooked the first part down got it kind of syrupy caramelized thing going on and then added the other half, then I added the topping on and everybody went nuts and I'm pretty sure it's against the law to serve any dessert without ice cream LOL

  2. I love America’s test kitchen. I have a couple of your cookbooks, and your recipes never fail. A little extra information I’m always hoping for is which sides to pair with the main protein and sauce. Which vegetables would go best with the crispy chicken thighs and salsa verde?

  3. Why do all the cooking shows promote the wasting of aluminum foil? You can use a small covered pyrex bowl to bake in the oven…or a pan covered with oven safe lid. Aluminum foil is mined from the Amazonian rain forest…resulting in total destruction of the land. It's true that aluminum is recyclable…but also true that most American's will not wash/reuse their foil. Likewise, recycling centers will not recycle foil that is contaminated with food…going back to the fact that few would be willing to wash thin sheets of metal. You do know that you are influencing millions of people…hopefully, you will receive this feedback in the spirit intended. We are all responsible for doing our part…but "influencers" have a much much greater responsibility to "fully" educate their audience/consumer.

  4. The chicken thigh recipe like many of the ATK are more complicated than they appear on the show. The chicken thighs did come out fine. However the process was a little more complicated. The chicken fat that rendered onto the baking sheets with the high oven temperature set off the smoke alarms in my apartment several times. Quite annoying.. Additionally clean up was a bit of a chore. Despite using the spray vegetable oil as called for in the recipe the pan had a lot of baked on crud. The chicken tasted fine but to be honest with you it is not worth a do over. The salsa verdi was also a challenge. I followed the directions but my garlic came out hard as a rock and would not process.
