Know your kitchen equipment. You can have a lot of fun cooking when you have the right tools and equipment. To help you make choices just right for you, Brown looks at pots and pans, sharp things (not just knives, but graters, mandolins, and cheese slicers, too), small things with plugs (as in small appliances- from food processors to coffee makers to deep fat fryers), kitchen tools unplugged (those items that fill drawers), storage and containment, and safety and sanitation. He does it all in a fun and entertaining format that will keep you turning to this book before all kitchen purchase. 255 pages.
