Not everything turns out perfectly, but we do try.
Dave does this thing with his hamburgers, where he heats the cast iron pan to near molten temperatures, puts the burger in, and flips it constantly. According to Heston Blumenthal of In Search of Perfection, this seals in the juices. Dave makes delicious burgers, but it does tend to smoke the place up a bit.

Frying burgers!
The picture below is Jello in a pot. We discovered, upon checking the jello in the fridge, that it hadn’t started to set, despite being in the fridge for a few hours. Something didn’t look quite right about the liquid, so I had to ask. Was there one cup of hot water and a cup of cold? The cold water had gone missing from the equation. Not wanting to waste 37 cents worth of jello, we popped it back in a pot, put the pot on the stove, and heated it up again. Once it appeared to be hot enough – some arbitrary temperature we didn’t bother to check – we added the cold water in and put everything back in the fridge. We’ll come back to this later for an update on whether or not it worked. But in the meantime, it makes for a good story!
Dave discovers Jello also needs cold water!
