834 Kitchen Quick tips

834 Kitchen Quick Tips: techniques and shortcuts for the curious cook by the editors of Cook's Illustrated. 557 p.

Even though I'm not much of a cook, I'm fascinated by discussion of kitchen gadgets, and to a lesser extent of technique. So this book was pretty irresistable. The tips seem very useful--for instance, when cutting individual cinnamon rolls from the long rolled-up dough, using a knife squooshes the dough, so use (unflavored) dental floss to cut the dough cleanly. Each tip is illustrated.
