 * Thanks Fred,


 * I was not promoting a book at all. It's just that this guy is the only one that scientifically published all the safe temperatures for sous vide cooking for a lot of ingredients.  There are only very very few sous vide cook books out there and I have most of them.  The 2 famous ones are under pressure by thomas keller and sous vide for the home cook by douglas baldwin.  All I was using  from his book is the temperature chart for food safety.


 * No, that wasn't all you were doing. You added a whole section titled "Sous Vide for the Home Cook" that sings the praises of the book with passages like this: "All that changes with this book by Douglas Baldwin-a PhD candidate In mathematics, port scientist, part good cook who labels himself the Mathematical Chef. In Sous Vide for The Home Cook, Mr. Baldwin has given a blue print lor simple sous vide cooking to all of us non-chels wanling to attempt the sous vide technique ourselves." That was written in the tone of blatant advertising and was removed.


 * As for the safe temperature chart, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, so that's outside the scope of the article. —C.Fred (talk) 20:32, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
