Cooking Issues

Tuesdays at 12:00PM EST

Every Tuesday at noon, Dave Arnold, author of Cooking Issues.com, the French Culinary Institute's Tech n Stuff blog, will discuss the new and innovative techniques, equipment, and ingredients. Call in with your own questions to see if Dave and the crew can solve your cooking issues. Got a question on ike-jime, the Japanese fish killing technique? We got you covered. Hydrocolloids, sous-vide, liquid nitrogen? No problem. Have a question about pimping your oven to make great pizza? We love that kind of question too. We take all cooking issues seriously.

From time to time special guests, chefs, bartenders, authors and columnists will join Dave in the studio.
