Behind the Knife - Chef Toolboxes Tell All

One of my favorite odd food combinations has been blackened chicken over a baked, veggie-stuffed sweet potato. The sweetness of the sweet potato – glazed with butter and brown sugary, combined with the savory veggies and the char of the blackened chicken kept giving new and stellar layers of flavor with every bite.

But it would be hard to make that in a two-sided skillet.

I don’t know about this pan. It seems like not only can you not cook a decent amount in either side, but you can’t flip your food without some sort of spatula. Some of the most fun of cooking is tossing your food around, getting everything evenly coated with oil or sauce. Besides, if you have foods that cook at different temperatures, this pan won’t work. Plus, the pan won’t stack with other pans. The bottom looks as if it is divided giving poor heat distribution. Granted, I’d have to use it once before giving it a real review, but id just doesn’t make sense. Better to use two smaller pans on two separate burners, in my opinion.

As for the strangest food combination. As a kid I would eat Nilla Wafers dipped in mayonnaise. Now I can’t stand the sight of mayo. Its sort of a strange mayophobia. I don’t know why, but every time I see it, I feel ill. It doesn’t help that the sushi place we just found has incredible sushi (some pieces have mango), but they put mayo on almost everything. Yuck.

when I was in highschool myself and a friend lived on peanut butter, jelly, fluff, and dill pickle sandwiches, I would not think of eating that today. I think this pan would be perfect for cooking breakfast I have one little guy who likes scrambled eggs and one who likes fried

I tried deer jerky and will never ever try it again.

I love plain chips no ridges and ketchup..yum!

The pan would be interesting to use.

Oddest combination is a hard one. I love to eat cinnamon rolls with my chili. I have to have a cup of hot chocolate if I eat Cheetos. Red-eye gravy over hash browns. I love to eat Creton on toast.
