Was it just me, or did this two-parter really kinda suck? I mean, yeah, I learned a ton about water, but barely anything about cooking. When I saw that there was going to be a water epiosode, I was really jazzed, thinking that AB would find something unusual to do with H20 in the kitchen. But instead, we just get a glorified science class.
With the next epsiode being a "behind the scenes" thing, and then a month off for "Feasting on Asphalt", I guess that it will be a while before we see AB actually in a kitchen again.
Bummer.

Re: Water Works I & II
Tue, July 25, 2006 - 7:04 AMWe have only watched the first one so far, and it was mildly interesting, but not enough to displace a regular food topic! And certainly not two!, We will watch the other one anyway, when we get around to it, but he should stick to the kitchen! For at least part of the show, work in 'what this means to you cooking in your kitchen' -

Tue, July 25, 2006 - 7:53 AMAgreed. I don't mind the science lesson but talk for a little while about boiling, and steaming, and poaching. What I think he should have done was have little flashbacks to previous shows. When he mentioned heat transfer in "Water Works II" and why we place custards in water baths, he should have clipped in the scene from the creme brulee epsiode where we places the ramicans in the oven.
