Plllog hit on the key factor above - cost. there's no commercial reason for any tv show to focus on a cooking technique that requires a minimum $2000 (and more likely $3500) appliance. The number of people who can budget for such an item is very small. Combine with the number who actually know what it is, and want to make use of it gives you an even smaller market penetration, to the point of being zero. For example, I'm in a very affordable part of the country, but one with relatively high average income and good penetration of the high end appliance brands. The vast majority of the $2MM homes I see here (which is the very top of the market locally - the most exclusive neighborhoods and estate properties) rarely have a fully integrated fridge, let alone a unique and specialized oven. The folks who can afford specialized appliances often aren't the ones who would even consider using them. They're looking for name recognition and resale value more than unique cooking capabilities. Those of us who participate in these kinds of forums represent the lunatic fringe of the marketplace. To expect a mainstream show that relies on commercial revenue to cater to us is as unrealistic as expecting us to all install a Roper or Amana range in our next remodel. We'd rather stretch the kitchen budget to find a way to install a CSO or coffee center or Blue Star / Miele whatever, but most others won't. Honestly, I rather like that these shows show "the other way" to do these sorts of cooking techniques. It makes it more accessible, and shows methods that I might not try, even if I do have the esoteric equipment to make it easier. And if I'm interested, I can easily research on my own how to do the same thing with a specialized tool rather than the Alton Brown "no one-trick tools" method.

A 6.1 pH in a soil that fizzes (free calcium/Magnesium carbonate). No anomaly that would produce that comes to mind. Don't bother with a AA test. It's not going to be beneficial this year. We'll assume that all the soil is 8.4 pH and you can retest next year with AA. I don't like making recommendations at the 3-6" level for turf but here goes: Everything in your soil is not only above minimum levels, but decently into sufficient and some even at optimal levels EXCEPT Phosphorous which is detrimentally deficient ( your turf probably did well the first couple of years because sod farms pound their turf with P and you used up the residual that was present). In fact. P is well below critical. Potassium (K) and Boron are also a bit low. but we only need to keep an eye on B and kick K up. It's Phosphorous though, big time. The clay is going to be a real PITA. Edited: Before we go forward: Are you willing/can you afford to aerate twice this year? Can you find/want to pay for Triple fertilizer (10-10-10, 12-12-12, etc) ? Can you find/want to pay for Triplesuper Phosphate ? Can you find/want to pay for Sulfate of Potash/Potassium Sulfate/Sop? Can you find/want to pay for Milorganite (5-4-0) ?

?? What is the difference in this: "Went throught houzz.com " add this? "nothing worked until I went in through google chrome." Chrome is a browser. You can get to Google, via any browser. Going to Google and searching for houzz.com will get you to the same place as typing in www.houzz.com in your address bar. Can you clarify what you meant? Did you perhaps use a link from your history and that is what you mean by the first statement?
