Book Reviews of The Sensational Skillet Cookbook
Book Review: Pedestrian
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a typical cookbook without any inspiration. It is a collection of various recipes that DO NOT AT ALL address the issue of using an electric skillet well.
The recipes vary in providing details. Many do not have specific temperatures for cooking at all...and this is critical in an electric skillet. There is an apologia in the book about not using anything specific since you get to know your skillet over time. Not very reassuring.
I have seen many of these recipes on the web for free. What makes these specific to the electric skillet is very unclear. This is the critical problem with the book. A substantial amount of information disconnected from the topic is provided.
The book is terribly disorganized. Clarified butter is introduced very strangely...it is not in the index, nor in the 'secrets for success' section. This is quite true of a number of techniques. The book is a low-level general cookbook of dubious originality. Pedestrian.
The cooking temp. chart of one page is laughable.
Really a poor attempt.
I have no clue as to how Wendy rose to any reputation at all.
Pedestrian.
Someone can do much better.
