This guy has no clue what he is doing half the time. He is giving out completely wrong advice at least three to four times a show. He's using sesame oil as an actual cooking oil. He shows off an "egg spoon" which is basically a big ladle that you stick in a grill.... who is going to have that at home? Who is going to buy one? He does so many steps on things that don't need to be done, or that he re-does halfway through the cooking process... like he will layer things into a bowl and then two minutes later he stirs up the bowl anyway, so why did we have to layer in the first place? He instructs us to turn portobello mushrooms over when "the bottom is sizzling" -- how the hell would you know what the bottom of something is doing? He is one of the reasons we should stop funding PBS... this is just stupid, ignorant programming. |

i went to a steve raichlen bbq class in 2007/8 ish. I was just starting off with a smoker and thought it would be great. it was an all day affair and he started with big cuts and then did all sorts of stuff while we waited for the big stuff to cook. sauces, rubs, all prep. it was good. everything was delicious and we left with tons of stuff and his book with all those recipes. fast foward to now, and whenever i see him he really does all these ridiculous unnecessary steps. I would do his recipes initially but began just leaving out large chunks of his methodologies. I used to mop everything every hour. totally ridiculous and a waste of heat. i've very much adopted a just leave it minimalist texas like approach to bbq. I appreciate what he did for my bbq beginnings. His website published my tutorial on dry aging beef in your home which was pretty cool. they had a really nice bbq forum on his page. But yeah way too many steps and a lot of things that you really shouldn't do bbq wise. |
