Should you stop worrying about smoke in the kitchen? What’s a PID controller? Find out on the latest edition of Cooking Issues. Today’s program was brought to you by White Oak Pastures.

“The problem with botulism is that it isn’t destroyed by freezing or cooking at normal temperatures. The reason it’s so tricky is that it forms spores – when you start killing off the bacteria some of them turn into spores that are extremely resistant to heat – you have to pressure cook to get rid of them.” [18:00]
