Iron Wok Jan 14
Posted: August 19, 2008 Filed under: Iron Wok Jan 1 Comment »I guess I read about half this volume right after 13. The end of the science cooking battle actually happens at the beginning of this volume. Not that you couldn’t already predict the results at the end of volume 13. Of course the oven cooks it perfectly throughout, but is that really the best way to cook meat? Even I know that, and I can’t even boil water.
This volume won its place in my heart permanently when it had its three cockiest characters dressed in pig suits and humiliated on national television. Not only that, they’re all forced to cook in the suits, too. Even Jan, who cooks nearly his entire meal in the most ridiculous costume you can imagine.
The next battle is organized by Otani, Jan’s long-suffering rival, the food critic with the Tongue of God. He brings Jan, Kiriko, and Celine onto a live program and basically proceeds to humiliate them with a French Chef who cooks one of the most famous French goose dishes, one which is apparently “impossible” to beat since this is the best way to cook goose. Kiriko, Jan, and Celine all go about the impossible in their own ways, and their dishes aren’t going to be revealed until next volume, apparently.
