Worst Cooks in America

Another food show to watch! It's time for the third season of Worst Cooks in America airing Sundays at 9pm on Food Network. I've watched the previous two seasons of this show and am hooked. The show keeps me coming back because of its mixture of being able to keep me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next disaster to happen, while at the same time being able to amaze me seeing the lack of common kitchen/food sense people have (such as not knowing how a pepper grinder works, or knowing that leaving raw meat out all day is not good), but yet still be a bit heartwarming as you see how important and an amazing life changer it is for these people to actually be able to cook. Here is the Season 3 teaser.

Honestly after watching episode 1 of this season it seems that the contestants this season are better than the previous contestants, so there were less disasters and more successes than in the previous season premiers. I worry this might make this season less exciting. However the preview for the next week's episode made it seem like the contestants have to perform more difficult cooking tasks than in the previous seasons, which means disasters may ensue! One of the things they show them doing is learning how to make hand pulled noodles. That is something that even a non-worst chef in America could struggle with.

Another reason why I enjoy watching this show is that I get to learn new things along with the contestants. I am actually quite excited for next week's show to learn how to make hand pulled noodles. Some of the things I learned from this week's episode is when poaching an egg, a splash of vinegar in the poaching water helps firm up the egg quickly, and one can easily make infused maple syrup such as cinnamon maple syrup. You can also glean some easy tasty recipes from the episodes which are posted on the Food Network site. You can also watch the first episode of this season or the entirety of season two there. Go Watch! Go Enjoy!
