HowTo Cook Crispy High Roast Chicken
Speaking as a chef, I have very sharp mixed feelings regarding America's Test Kitchen.
On the one hand, I think its great that they are showing not just the how, but also the why of cooking to the general public. This is definitely commendable- and in clips like this they are definitely showing good, solid cooking techniques that are just like what I would do myself.
But on the other hand, occassionally they attempt classical recipes and they simplify them to the point of uselessness. One episode in particular that really raised my ire was the Sangria/Paella show. The Sangria had wine, oranges and rum in it. Come ON! That's USELESS. Paella should have more like 10 different fruits; peaches, pears, grapes, melon, apple, etc etc etc. I don't think they even put any Grand Marnier! ARGH.
I don't remember my specific problems with the Paella that they did, but I remember it really turning me off the entire show.
As long as they stick with general recipes like the one in this clip, I say bravo. But don't try and pretend that your stripped down, naked, stupid versions of classics are worthwhile.
