@Michele Humes, you are just as incorrect as gschaefer.

o raise the boiling point of one liter (34 ounces) of water by 1°C (1.8°F) requires about 58 grams (2 ounces) of salt.

朝日新聞1986年4月3日夕刊（東京版）に「テレホンクラブ」（テレクラ）の記事が掲載されており、内容はテレクラで男性客とデートをしていた家出中の女子高生が補導されたというものである。同記事によれば、テレクラは1985年秋頃から新宿・渋谷などに急増し、この頃までに100軒ほどあったという。テレクラ【出会い専門】

@dyella - A combination of 'What Einstein Told His Cook' by Robert Wolke (relevant excerpt is here) and my science editor boyfriend explaining it to me in a painstaking manner.

Even though Stefan is a bit of an ass, he's a refreshing change from previous seasons in that he's a jerky chef who can actually bring the cooking. What drove me crazy about Lisa last season was that she had all the arrogance and superior attitude of a master chef, but with a fraction of the talent.

Toby...my God, what a douche. I was actually tolerating his presence until he pulled out that ridiculously contrived line about Elvis. He's just embarrassing himself.

@gschaefer - If you read the link I included in the post, you'll see that, while adding salt to boiling water does technically make it boil faster at sea level, with the quantities we are dealing with in home cooking, this speeds up the cooking time by all of half a second.

@dyella - It's not two degrees. It's about seven hundredths of 1 degree F.

Sigh. Why is this misinformation so persistent? :/

Service matters people! I could sell ice to eskimoes (sorry for the cliche) but it is true. You wrap something not so pretty in pretty paper and it makes a difference.

Don't hate me.....I want Stephan to win! I think he is the only person on the show with talent and he knows it, which must make him a horrible person to be around and an awful competitor, but he's a good chef and I'd eat his food! Plus I love that kind of confidence in people, even if it's ostracizing. Jamie is so glum. Smile girl! Have a little joie de vivre! And cook something else besides soup and corn (and scallops). I agree that Hosea is the quiet competition and I predict that he will make it into the final three, along with Jamie and Stephan. I like Fabio as a person, but he keeps making small mistakes that will probably cost him. Carla is also funny and charming, but I don't think she's much of a cook. Leah is a total sourpuss princess brat and Jeff awkwardly over-extends himself every time. Even when he limits himself to one concept its like, oversized or something. That HUGE hunk of salmon he made for the "tasting" in the QF?! What?! And Toby Young, words don't describe. My ears gush forth blood when he opens his mouth. Sorry....

@mgnnn: Seriously. You'd think they'd all be prepared for this and other things. I mean, it's like this group never watched previous seasons. They've repeated so many mistakes that contestants in prior seasons have made. There's definitely enough material for any contestants now to learn how to play the game.

My son likes Vietnamese food

I want to learn to make healthier recipes for myslef & my family!

My resolution is to try a new recipe every week.

Go to farmers' markets - buy local!

To eat out less and cook with more vegetables!
