Salad 101

S04 E01 • Saturday, Jan 3, 2004 • Jan 3 • 25m

We give much needed makeovers to two classic salads. Salad seems so easy. Just dress some leafy greens and serve, right? Recipes: Basic Tossed Green Salad; Greek Salad; Wilted Spinach Salad with Bacon Dressing Tasting Lab: Red Wine Vinegar

Summer Tomatoes

S04 E02 • Saturday, Jan 10, 2004 • Jan 10 • 25m

Say goodbye to thick, bland gazpacho and soggy tomato tarts. It’s feast or famine when it comes to good tomatoes. Recipes: Gazpacho; Quick Summer Tomato Tart Tasting Lab: Mozzarella Cheese

One-Pot Wonders

S04 E03 • Saturday, Jan 17, 2004 • Jan 17 • 25m

The notion of dinner made in a single pot is certainly alluring. Two complete meals from a pot; one a classic, the other a surprise. Recipes: Beef Chili with Kedney Beans; Indoor Clambake Equipment Center: Crock Pots Tasting Lab: Tomato Puree

East Coast Seafood

S04 E04 • Saturday, Jan 24, 2004 • Jan 24 • 25m

We solve the problem of porridge-like chowder and bready crabcakes. Clam chowder and crab cakes are available in most every seafood restaurant in the country. These dishes both have their origins along the East Coast and have been subjected to numerous changes (most not for the better) as they became more popular. Recipes: New England Clam Chowder; Maryland Crab Cakes Tasting Lab: Mayonaise

New Orleans Menu

S04 E05 • Saturday, Jan 31, 2004 • Jan 31 • 25m

We bring a taste of New Orleans into the home kitchen. Jambalaya and bananas Foster are two of our favorite dishes from New Orleans. Recipes: Jambalaya; Bananas Foster Equipment Center: Ice Cream Scoops Tasting Lab: Vegetable Broth

Freedom from Red Sauce

S04 E06 • Saturday, Feb 7, 2004 • Feb 7 • 25m

Skip the marinara and try these two vegetable sauces. Tired of the same old marinara sauce? Recipes: Pasta with Mushrooms; Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Equipment Center: Herb Choppers Tasting Lab: Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Quick Classic Pastas

S04 E07 • Saturday, Feb 14, 2004 • Feb 14 • 25m

Everyone knows pasta is quick. That's one of the reasons Americans (and Italians) love it. Recipes: "Quick" Bolognese; Four Cheese Pasta Tasting Lab: Tomato Paste

Pot Roast

S04 E08 • Saturday, Feb 21, 2004 • Feb 21 • 25m

Pot roast can be the ultimate comfort food or a huge waste of time. We solve the problem of dry, gray, tough meat. Recipes: Pot Roast with Root Vegetables; Skillet Green Beans Equipment Center: Vegetable Choppers

Maple-Glazed Pork Roast

S04 E09 • Saturday, Feb 28, 2004 • Feb 28 • 25m

Say goodbye to dry, tough, candy-like roasts. The marketing of the “other white meat” would be amusing if today’s pork weren’t so lean and flavorless. Recipes: Maple-Glazed Pork Loin; Wild Rice Pilaf Equipment Center: Food Storage Containers

Truck Stop Classics

S04 E10 • Saturday, Mar 6, 2004 • Mar 6 • 25m

We perfect two roadside classics: chicken-fried steak and coconut cream pie. Truckers often know where to find the best home cooking. Recipes: Chicken-Fried Steak with Gravy; Coconut Cream Pie Tasting Lab: Graham Crackers

Chicken in a Skillet

S04 E11 • Saturday, Mar 13, 2004 • Mar 13 • 25m

A skillet can turn out hundreds of chicken dinners. For most Americans, chicken breasts are the holy grail of weeknight cooking. (We think thighs are more flavorful, but that’s another story.) Recipes: Pan-Roasted Chicken Breasts; Almond-Crusted Chicken Breasts with Wilted Spinach Equipment Corner: Traditional Skillets

Chicken in a Pot

S04 E12 • Saturday, Mar 20, 2004 • Mar 20 • 25m

Two French takes on an American promise. Herbert Hoover may have promised Herbert Hoover may have promised Americans a chicken in every pot, but no ne said that chicken couldn't be French. Recipes: Chicken Provencale; Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic Equipment Corner: Kitchen Shears Tasting Lab: Vermouth

Steak and Potatoes

S04 E13 • Saturday, Mar 27, 2004 • Mar 27 • 25m

We take the mystery out of properly grilled steaks. It’s hard to beat steak and mashed potatoes for both simplicity and flavor. Recipes: Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions; Grilled Steaks Equipment Center: Kitchen Shears Tasting Lab: Mail-Order vs. Supermarket Steaks

Steak Tips

S04 E14 • Saturday, Apr 3, 2004 • Apr 3 • 25m

Steak tips and steak fries sound like bad menu offerings from your local low-rent steakhouse. We rescue steak tips and fries from low-rent steakhouses. Recipes: Steak Tips; Steak Fries Equipment Center: Grill Brushes

Stir Fry 101

S04 E15 • Saturday, Apr 10, 2004 • Apr 10 • 25m

Stir-fries at home that are better than takeout. Ordering Chinese takeout is like playing Russian roulette. Recipes: Stir-Fired Pork with Eggplant; Stir-Fried Beef and Broccoli Equipment Center: Electric Woks Tasting Lab: Oyster Sauce

Asian Noodles

S04 E16 • Saturday, Apr 17, 2004 • Apr 17 • 25m

Say goodbye to bad Americanized versions of pad Thai and sesame noodles. We no longer think of noodles as just Italian. Recipes: Pad Thai; Cold Sesame Noodles Equipment Center: Flat Bottom Woks

Italian Classics

S04 E17 • Saturday, Apr 24, 2004 • Apr 24 • 25m

Americans love Italian food - and rightly so. Recipes: Chicken Diavola; Frico; Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar Tasting Labs: Balsamic Vinegar

French Food in a Flash

We bring two classics into the home kitchen for great results in a fraction of the time. Recipes: Simplified Cassoulet with Pork and Kielbasa; 30-Minute Tarte Tatin Tasting Lab: Diced Canned Tomatoes

Tea Time

S04 E19 • Saturday, May 8, 2004 • May 8 • 25m

Say goodbye to leaden scones and pound cake. In the test kitchen, we think afternoon (or morning) tea is an excellent excuse to whip up a batch of scones or a golden loaf of lemon pound cake. Making these simple baked goods at home certainly yields better results than what you can buy. Recipes: Lemon Pound Cake; Oatmeal Scones Equipment Center: Citrus Juicers and Reamers Tasting Lab: Supermarket Teas

Sunday Brunch

S04 E20 • Saturday, May 15, 2004 • May 15 • 25m

We solve the problem of rubbery omelets and dry, hockey puck muffins. Sunday brunch sounds so civilized. Recipes: Denver Omelet; Corn Muffins Equipment Center: Rubber Spatulas Tasting Lab: Baking Powder

The Pancake Show

S04 E21 • Saturday, May 22, 2004 • May 22 • 25m

Few recipes deliver so much pleasure for so little work as pancakes. The batter comes together in minutes, and the cooking time is brief. Why, then, do most Americans never make pancakes from scratch? Recipes: Blueberry Pancakes; German Apple Pancakes Equipment Corner: Electric Gridles Tasting Lab: Fresh vs. Frozen Blueberries

Cookie Jar Favorites

S04 E22 • Saturday, May 29, 2004 • May 29 • 25m

Good cookies don’t really require any more work than bad cookies. Unless, of course, you are willing to consider dry, crumbly, tasteless packaged cookies from the supermarket - but we aren’t. Recipes: Thin and Crisp Chocolate Chip Cookies; Coconut Macaroons Equipment Corner: Potholders Tasting Lab: Refrigerator Cookie Dough

Summer Berry Desserts

S04 E23 • Saturday, Jun 5, 2004 • Jun 5 • 25m

When local berries are in season, we like to showcase them in simple desserts. Two simple showcases for fresh summer berries. Recipes: Summer Berry Pie; Berry Gratin with Lemon Sabayon Equipment Corner: Ice Cream Makers

Easy Sheet Cakes

S04 E24 • Saturday, Jun 12, 2004 • Jun 12 • 25m

We solve the problem of dry, sticky, flavorless cakes. A sheet cake is like a with training wheels--it's hard to fall off. Recipes: Chocolate Sheet Cake; Carrot Cake Equipment Corner: Milk Chocolate

Lemon Cheescake

S04 E25 • Saturday, Jun 19, 2004 • Jun 19 • 25m

Light, creamy, and great lemon flavor--neither too fleeting nor too harsh. Recipe: Lemon Cheesecake Equipment Center: Springform Pans

Showstopper Deserts

S04 E26 • Saturday, Jun 26, 2004 • Jun 26 • 25m

Two desserts that pull out all the stops yet are easy to prepare. Recipes: Chocolate Mousse Cake; Chilled Lemon Souffle Tasting Lab: Unsweetened Chocolate
