I popped some corn in ghee about a year ago out of curiosity and it’s life changing. Movie theater tAste without those weird carcinogenic fake butter compounds
Fact: at one point during the manufacturing of artificial butter flavoring, it is actually highly poisonous & unfit for human consumption. See "Twinkle, deconstructed" by Steve Ettlinger. Fair warning, you might find out some things you don't want to know!
@@TheBeavadelic Fact: at one point during the manufacturing of probably a majority of food products, they are actually highly poisonous & unfit for human consumption.
"You've probably got a bunch of food sitting around. Let's make some popcorn with it! So go to your pantry and grab that ghee, nutritional yeast, and furikake. But you don't have cheese powder, so order some off the internet for this next part."
I actually do have nutritional yeast and furikake in my kitchen, and I could make ghee from butter, so I'm good. The yeast is sort of like a cheese substitute anyway.
yeah this is extremely out of touch for a "pantry raid" recipe. I much prefer Glen & Friends for this type of series. Although much respect to Alton Brown he really does some great stuff.
Those were optional. You could also just throw on some Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt or Everything Bagel seasoning. It's up to you - that's just what he had on hand.
When theres an actual apocalypse and zombies are emerging on all major cities, the power grid has been shut down and all government officials are hiding in underground bunkers, I feel like we’ll all be here, watching Alton make spaghetti in his weird little abandoned kitchen.

"Enjoy the popage ". Thanks for this, Alton. Clever technique, as usual. I don't even like popcorn, but I've enjoyed all your demos for decades, and it's a pleasure to just absorb anything you care to share. You're terrific, as always. Skol, namaste, and keep 'em coming. 🙏✌️🖖😋 By the by, since I don't like popped corn (leaving two hungry, unsupervised kindergarteners in the car at a carnival in 1962 - you could do that then and not be arrested- with a huge bag of popcorn, is a recipe for gastric disaster, and a lifelong aversion. We finished it between us. 'Nuf said about that), I got some whole sorghum grains at the health food store and will pop them soon. This is enjoyed often in Africa and India. I'll try it with ghee. It's also gluten-free and non-inflammatory, unlike corn.
Oh, I had not thought about Furikake, I love that on rice. I already have the cheese powder. Use that on rice and popcorn already. Yes, cheese on rice is yummy. Thanks Alton.
Most woks (or at least the one I have) are made from a little heavier duty metal, which means it will take longer to heat up. His bowl seems like the best method for heating up quickly without burning.
This looks great! Like to make this popcorn before I plop down on the couch with my family tonight to watch this amazing BBC nature documentary series we have been watching the past few days.
You just blew my mind, and I'm going to be forever grateful! How do you attach it to the bowl though? Just hold it on with the towels? I think I might see if I can use binder clips to secure it, but if you have a better method, I'd like to hear about it. Knowing myself, if I tried to hold it on, I'd end up with half-popped corn all over the floor and be very sad.
@@soygurl24 My spatter shield has a long handle like a skillet. When I shake the pan -- as I always do when making popcorn; I make mine in my soup pot -- I just have that handle in the same hand as a pot handle.
@@soygurl24 I just use my hands. I use a stock/large soup pot, crank up the heat, add ghee/oil and salt, popcorn immediately, then I hold the top lip of the pot and side handles and splatter shield together and vigorous shakey shakey until popcorn is done. The top lip of the pot never has time to get hot, the shakey makes the unpopped guys fall to the bottom and moves the popped guys around fast enough so they don't burn. I can make a video if that isn't clear.
Two things: Wayyyyy back in the middle of the last century, my family had a popcorn popper, probably from the 1950s. It was small, but had a popping bowl separate from the heating element, and the bowl was, in fact, hemispherical. They may have been on to something there. Second thought: we saw your live show in Philly and enjoyed it a lot, but my wife still hasn't forgiven you for not finding some way to get popcorn to the people way up in the nosebleed seats where we were. Stay safe, and thanks for the giggles.
I remember my mom being excited to try this recipe about 10 years ago when you did Good Eats! I’m going to go make it and feed it to my mom, oh how the tables have turn 😂❤️
@@immaculab.4231 That's also a good seasoning but they do have the elote seasoning which is salt, chile powder, cheese, chipotle, and cumin. An elote is street corn on the cob in Mexico.
White popcorn, coconut oil, (it’s what the theaters use and have since the 70’s; that and or palm oil, but that’s the devil), and grind some of your favorite fancy salt in a coffee grinder to extra fine. White popcorn has a thinner hull so doesn’t get stuck in your teeth as much. Coconut oil has a low melting point, a very high smoke point, is saturated, and a good source of Lauric acid. Plus it doesn’t coat your mouth like many other oils do. Amount depends on your popper size, but about 1/3-1/2 c for 4qt size. For oil, use enough to submerge kernels totally when tilted to one side. 1t fine salt for 1/3-1/2c kernels. And if you have a hot air popper, try this method sometime, so much richer! It’s how the theaters and every bar, fair, and other popcorn for sale is done. Not that anyone asked, but we are all bored, and I make popcorn almost every night. Coconut oil comes with or without the coconut flavor too, (virgin has taste, refined is flavorless) A very fiber rich healthier snack.
"Pantry raid" My little brother referred to this as "scrummaging" when we were hungry teenagers. Also: strongly recommend learning the metric system. Congress really dropped the ball in the 70's when they didn't set a time frame for its adoption.

When making your clarified butter or ghee, Save the butter solids and use them as a topping for your popcorn

Thank you for your service is all I’m going to say. I always smile watching your show wherever it is played.
Isn't the functionality of the popped kernels rising up the side of the bowl the same functionality that makes the wok useful?

I remember my mom being excited to try this recipe about 10 years ago when you did Good Eats! I’m going to go make it and feed it to my mom, oh how the tables have turn 😂❤️
Take away her driving privileges capriciously, too!
My mom told me about that old video last week when I was making popcorn. It’s so much better
I love this guy and his commentary. Science and cooking. Like Bill Nye mixed with Julia Childs. What could be better.
I just noticed he has a tattoo on his left arm. And it's funny how he is and being himself and not the tv personality. Loved that show good eats.
Just made this and put some of Trader Joe’s “everything but the elote” spice on it - AMAZINGGGGG! Thank you!
I PUT THAT ON EVERYTHING.
VANILLA ICE CREAM HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
I'm confused, I thought it was everything but the bagel?
@@immaculab.4231 That's also a good seasoning but they do have the elote seasoning which is salt, chile powder, cheese, chipotle, and cumin. An elote is street corn on the cob in Mexico.
ooh I heard about that in passing a few weeks ago & totally forgot about it, I'm gonna put that on the list for my next Trader Joe's run, thank you!
White popcorn, coconut oil, (it’s what the theaters use and have since the 70’s; that and or palm oil, but that’s the devil), and grind some of your favorite fancy salt in a coffee grinder to extra fine. White popcorn has a thinner hull so doesn’t get stuck in your teeth as much. Coconut oil has a low melting point, a very high smoke point, is saturated, and a good source of Lauric acid. Plus it doesn’t coat your mouth like many other oils do. Amount depends on your popper size, but about 1/3-1/2 c for 4qt size. For oil, use enough to submerge kernels totally when tilted to one side. 1t fine salt for 1/3-1/2c kernels. And if you have a hot air popper, try this method sometime, so much richer! It’s how the theaters and every bar, fair, and other popcorn for sale is done. Not that anyone asked, but we are all bored, and I make popcorn almost every night. Coconut oil comes with or without the coconut flavor too, (virgin has taste, refined is flavorless) A very fiber rich healthier snack.
Oh yeah, Whirley Pop popper!
This is great Alton. I appreciate the extra help making lovely popcorn. I have been watching Good Eats while trapped at home. Be safe
here from the sun and the star
Made popcorn in a cast iron wok. Came out awesome. It also has a handle to make it super easy.
"Pantry raid"
My little brother referred to this as "scrummaging" when we were hungry teenagers.
Also: strongly recommend learning the metric system. Congress really dropped the ball in the 70's when they didn't set a time frame for its adoption.
Thank goodness.
I sure don't want to be buying gas by the litre that's for sure.
We called it scrounging around 😄
The he smirked when he said Furikake made this whole episode better
Alton Brown the man who put my 2 favorite things on television science and food, and called it Good Eats.
Thank you for existing, and thank you for this channel!
I live alone, "I just won't come back in here" doesn't work for me.
well you could just board up your kitchen and start a new kitchen in the bathroom.
Doesn't stop me from trying it though.
1. They still sell Jiffy Pop.
2. When I was a child, before Jiffy Pop and microwaves, we just used a big pot with a lid.
I still use a 4 quart pot with a lid.
Jiffy pop is terrible
Destiny Circle I still use a pot with a lid; works great
jiffy pop is also a rip off, buying loose kernel popcorn is much much cheaper.
Cool Dr Money incorrecr
2 years later and I got covid. recovering while watching all the Alton brown videos.
"This is my quarantine mask".
Missed opportunity to call it a cough-ee filter.
“Alright, I think we’ve got decent poppage...” 😂 You’re using my language. You’re the best Mr. Brown.
I used to love good eats as a kid, I would switch anything I was watching for his show. It's so nice to see Alton Brown on TH-cam!
"Thank you for washing." -- Brilliant.
Seeing you still belting out content despite everyone hiding in their panic rooms warms my heart.
i love alton. he is the only reason i ever watched the food network. and i only watched iron chief because he was the anouncer
Nico and Dionysus loved your popcorn btw
