Check your local library, Shel. If they don't have them, they likely can get them through the ILL.

>That seems odd since on a recent show he mentiond 140-degrees, and made a big point of it, too.<

Actually, whoever said "consistency is the hobgoblin or small minds" could have had Alton Brown in mind. I have never seen one of his shows in which he didn't contradict something he'd said in a previous one.

My favorite is his constant insistance on only buying multi-task tools. Uh, huh. And then he takes us shopping for deep fat fryers; and panini presses; and remote-sensing thermo probes, and whatever other high priced, single-use item some manufacturer has paid him to tout.

Plus he is nowhere near as amusing as he thinks he is.

If you've concluded that Alton Brown isn't one of my favorites you're not far wrong.
