Daves bike broke down, so this weeks holiday episode of Cooking Issues is hosted remotely by phone. Hear Dave answer questions and so concerns about granita, thermometers, pressures cookers, fast cook method eggs, and flying with food. Hear some tips for getting through customs with food and find out why butternut squash is problematic for some people. This episode was sponsored by Modernist Pantry. Ive never owned a thermometer that made me super happy. If youre going to do hydro colloid work youll want a scale that goes to a tenth of a gram. Spouts, as we all know, taste like poison. --Dave Arnold on Cooking Issues
