Who's your most/least favorite food personality on Food Channel?
I think Food Network made the gradual decision to make the channel more about food and life and less about cooking technique... what with the average American's non-stop hectic life. Cue: 30 Minute Meals and the like.
I supremely enjoyed Batali's program with the three guests observing, asking questions and sampling his dishes - it was a beautiful and simple concept for a cooking show. It was what cooking should be, about learning and sharing with people. To whoever said he moves too fast and undercooks everything, I am going to fight you.
I don't like Rachael Ray or Sandra Lee either. A lot of people go bananas over Ray though. I've never watched an entire Sandra Lee.

That Pyrex shattering one scared the crap out of me. I was making a quick hollandaise with some dear friends (people that I would really miss if shards of glass went flying at them) and I used a shallow Pyrex dish to melt the butter... on the stovetop... at the lowest heat. My wise roommate expressed some hesitation, and it did work out fine, but... holy crap. Maybe Pyrex in Iowa is way stronger than... where you are.
