Today on Cooking Issues, Dave Arnold hopes to make your cooking life a beach. Nastassia Lopez calls in from the beautiful beaches of Rhode Island to talk with Dave about the new Booker and Dax Searzall. What does it sear? Everything!

Dave talks with some callers about pH and pickling, as well as pizza steels and their ability to stand up to uneven heat. Is it safe to use gases from paintball canisters to carbonate beverages at home? Find out if it's possible to turn Dr. Pepper into a powder, and learn how to make a red velvet cake without using dyes or beets! Can you name five things that Nastassia actually likes? Hear the list on this week's Cooking Issues! This program has been brought to you by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
