00:00Christina and I learned early that the right products make all the difference in the kitchen.
00:07We're putting cookbooks to the test along with the kitchen products we need as we try to make a meal that will impress a chef.
00:20Hopefully there won't be too many disasters.
00:23We cook on television, but we've got a confession to make.
00:27We're not exactly chefs.
00:30Oh my God, they're burnt.
00:32We might like this whole place on fire.
00:33Put it down!
00:35We test cookbooks because we want to see if two wannabe chefs...
00:39Cut a deep slit down the back of the bird.
00:41Which is the back?
00:42...can make a large meal all in one go without burning down the kitchen.
00:46Stop the that are burning!
00:48This one is going to be a huge challenge.
00:51We have two hours.
00:52Eight recipes.
00:53Chef is coming at 6.30.
00:55We've got to rock.
00:56It's exhausting work.
00:57How much time do we have?
00:58Like less than an hour and a half.
01:00This is not a good start!
01:02Fix it!
01:03I don't feel like doing this anymore.
01:05You need an attitude adjustment.
01:06The cookbook choices are diverse.
01:08We're testing ethnic cookbooks, celebrity cookbooks, diet cookbooks, even holiday cookbooks.
01:14600 Christmas recipes.
01:15Steve Raecklin's How to Grill.
01:17Betty Crocker's cookbook.
01:18Nobu Matsuhisa is a palette.
01:20Every day Italian.
01:22The best light recipe.
01:24We'll try any cookbook that looks like it might lead to a good meal.
01:28It's the sweetest one that has more flavor.
01:33And we need all the help we can get.
01:35So we take kitchen products and food items.
01:39Anna and Christina's Crab Challenge.
01:41And put them through a multitude of tests.
01:43You're ticklish right there.
01:44Anything to get the upper hand.
01:46Because the truth is, if you want to impress the best,
01:49Master Baker, you gotta have the best.
01:51Right away, my eyes go to this one.
01:53We have four different kinds of whisks.
01:55Tell us which one you like the best.
01:56Which was your favorite beer?
01:58They're veggie dogs.
01:59Why are you gonna tell me that?
02:00And just to make things a little bit harder on ourselves,
02:03we invite some world-class chefs over to judge the results.
02:06And I can tell you, when it comes to food, these top chefs don't pull any punches.
02:11What? Is it good?
02:14This?
02:15No.
02:16We've gone tools.
02:17Twills.
02:18Get the ones in.
02:19Twill.
02:20Wanna eat some tools?
02:21We've been saying tools all day.
02:22Tools.
02:23Tools.
02:24Tools.
02:25Everybody makes mistakes.
02:26Did you have to make so many at one time?
02:28My ego is this big.
02:30Oh, you poor kid.
02:31I didn't mean to deflate you.
02:33Oh no, he's praying over it.
02:37I wasn't sure if he was praying it would taste good.
02:40Or going, mama mia, this looks like crap.
02:43I don't think you can call yourself a Mexican chef if you can't.
02:46create a mole sauce that is to die for.
02:48It's the first time we ever made it.
02:49I can tell.
02:50Be honest now.
02:51I think it's good.
02:52Well done.
02:53Hey.
02:54How did it work, guys?
02:55What do you think?
02:56It was so bad, he couldn't even be nice.
02:57So try it.
02:58He doesn't want to.
02:59You have to go on.
03:00Okay.
03:01This is disgusting.
03:02You have to go on.
03:03You have to go on.
03:04You have to go on.
03:05Okay.
03:10This is disgusting.
03:12This is disgusting.
03:13This is disgusting.
