or
B) was a shortened version of a technique he himself uses, but in taking the shortcuts leaves you with a normal/sub-par result despite more than normal effort (i brought this up in the egg thread, about how his poached eggs basically always turn out fine, but generally look terrible. He also just poopoos vinegar/stirring for frivolous reasons)
I think the show is a cool concept, but i just haven't seen the results from anything i've tried from it. It did teach me tons about food science/pairing though.
