Okay, I think I've experienced the best customer service I've ever had.
In looking through Volume 6 (not pictured above), the Kitchen Manual, I found about 90 pages had been bound upside down. I sent the Modernist Cuisine website a "contact us" email about it, and within ten minutes I had a (non-automated) response. They are going to replace the volume. WOW...when was the last time you had that kind of service?!

Perhaps you should send this to ATC / CI  Lord knows they could use the help....they are having a "if you don't like it you should leave" battle going on now...I didn't...I did...

Thanks for the link Fitzie. I just listened to the segment...kind of surprised I missed it, I almost always listen to Science Friday...love Ira Flatow.
It reminded me I've been wanting to try sous vide ribs, so I'm going to start them tonight for dinner on Saturday. I think I'll use my Smoking Gun to finish them. And since they're already cryovaced, I don't even need to bag them!

Heh, I get my pork vac pack'd (and frozen) and often just go pull it out of the freezer and toss directly into the bath. Ribs is fun SV. Last time I put some liquid smoke in the bag and proved that FS bags are not completely impermeable. I need to work up a cold smoker now....

I like Ira, too. I listen to him while I iron.

Paul, How did you achieve a crust on your other attempt? Since I'm going to use my Smoking Gun I figure I can either do a quick broil at the end, or use my propane torch. Amy And Fitzie...you can come over to my house and iron any Friday...

I used a torch last time. I think, especially for ribs (where a little extra cooking isn't fatal), a broiler should work nicely too.

I gotta say, this is one of the most fascinating series of books I've ever read. I just ordered Experimental Kit Artistre to do some playing with some of the ingredients used in many of the recipes. Amy
