Emeril: Can you hand me that pan?
Rachel: This pot?
Emeril: No, that pan over there. I need to pan-fry these vegetables.
Rachel: Wouldn’t be healthier if we steamed the vegetables or grilled them?
Emeril: Maybe, but for this meal, I’m frying them in this pan.
Rachel: Okay, do you want me to heat this sauce in this saucepan?
Emeril: No, I’m going to microwave that right before I serve it.
Rachel: Have you considered simmering it in a saucepan to get a better consistency?
Emeril: We don’t have time for that. Slice this meat and marinade it before I broil it.
Rachel: Maybe we could bake it at a lower temperature so that the meat won’t get dried out.
Emeril: We’ll try that another time. Can you get that cutting board and chop these carrots and dice these onions?
Rachel: Sure, but don’t you think...?
Emeril: What I think is that there will be six hungry children coming through that door in an hour and I need to finish dinner. You’re here to help, right?
Rachel: Yes, of course. That’s exactly what I was trying to do.
