Shaken, Not Churned

Spatula Slicing

A spatula, commonly used for flipping pancakes or serving cookies, took on a new role during the Baseline Challenge. Caitlin thought using it to hold her meat would have an extra benefit. "The spa-tu-ler is pre-cutting the meat for me," she said with confidence. "Jersey chainsaw massacre over there," Tyler said.

Cup 'o Cayenne

Chaz couldn't remember exactly what went into his wife's salmon cakes, but an entire cup of cayenne seemed like it would fit the bill. "What is going on?" Tyler asked. "My eyes are burning."

Ghost Pancake

Week two in Boot Camp was all about breakfast, but Antionette couldn't get her pancake on the plate. "I just got mixed up with the order," she said. But at least there was one positive. "Your compote looks good," Tyler said.

Potato Pancake

"It looks like you didn't get the technique on the pancakes right," Tyler said of Cody's attempt at breakfast. They looked like latkes and tasted like straight egg. "I'm going to have to hatch a new plan next time," Cody said.

For her sandwich, Antionette was making a classic grilled cheese. "I got this," she said seconds before her grill pan went up in flames. "You put butter on the grill?" Tyler asked with concern. "I thought I had it under control," Antoinette said.
