Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just wanted to say, that the Cuisine R-evolution Molecular Gastronomy Kit has been something that i've wanted for a long time now (probably few years!). I recently got it as a gift, and was extremely happy. I'm still really excited to use it, but after opening it up, and watching the DVD, i have to say. I'm EXTREMELY disappointed. The DVD is garbage. it demonstrates the BARE MINIMUM of what is required of you to use the additives, and nothing else. I think claiming that there are 50 recipes on the DVD amounts to false advertising. I would argue that there are NO recipes on the DVD. at best there are additive usage demonstrations, and even those suck, because NOTHING is explained. You couldn't hire a guy to do some VO? Molecular gastronomy is something very scientific and interesting, to boil it down to a monkey-see-monkey-do process is HUGELY missing the mark and only serves to keep its workings mysterious. So, to the genius that thought, "nah, we dont need to waste paper on recipes..." all that came across was "the consumer? f--- them." TL;DR This is probably not gonna get anyone into molecular gastronomy that wasn't already really into it. My suggestion, get the additives that you need like you would any other ingredient, no need to buy this kit.
