Thank you for the information. The problem probably has less to do with
the quality of the instructions than with the inexperience of the reader/cook.
However, the longer I am on this list, the more I learn.

Some of the "professional" cooks/authors that have been reviewed on this
list have gotten rather poor reviews. I'll take a number of the amateurs
here over many of the cookbook authors.
