@@medicwebber3037 i was going to reply the same thing. I love avocado, but if i buy any more then 3-4 days out, theres no telling what state they will be in. Good thing they're cheap
Same! I noticed last year that you can get 'em pre-minced in pop-top glass jars now. Not as much sauce by volume but more chipotles. Sauce is kinda magic tho.
When you heat nuts, what you’re doing is two fold. One, nuts have some reducing sugars in them which causes something called a maillard reaction to occur, that’s the light browning you see on meat when it’s seared, or bread when it forms a crust, giving it a nice crunchy texture. Second, nuts are oily. When you heat them the oil begins to liquefy and rise to the surface which then makes for a stronger taste, and can better apply that flavour to the meat around it.
I honestly can't believe people cook with ACV (of course I'm not a cook) it's just when I drink it as a health potion it's quite unpleasant! But I just learned about the Posca drink so I might drink it more... Those chops look so good! Hey Alton! Did I mention you should reboot CTK? (I did) anyways I'll watch your Newer Good Eats tonight :) Edit I lied previously about not asking for more CTK I apologize for the deception and ask that you forgive me by making new episodes of CTK. I accept my punishment.
This is something many people say, and it’s often my philosophy that when someone says “I don’t like x food”, they’re probably not correct, it’s more likely they just haven’t had it prepared in a way they like.
@@Thegbear I'd have to agree. I hate seafood. To the point that I tell people I am allergic so they won't try to sneak it in somehow... But there is a show that was on the Food Network years ago... Chinese cooking show. There was one dish he made, can't remember what kind of fish he used, but it looked *good*.
I'm sure there is a reason... But why use unsalted butter and then add salt? Why not just use salted butter? Yes, we can control the amount of salt that goes in better, but wouldn't all butter be salted similarly? At least the same brand?
yes, you control the amount of salt and you can use different types of salt too, depending on the application. Kosher salt, table salt, sea salt, pink salt, coarsely or finely ground. You get the idea.
@@dbone3356 All fair questions, and as it turns out, it doesn't really make much difference. Adam Ragusea (a youtube cook, if you haven't seen him) did a video on this very topic recently: th-cam.com/video/kP1BHrvYopI/w-d-xo.html
My fav pastry chef is CupCake Jemma and she only gives recipes in grams so I have to weigh everything. I've seen kids, on Kids Baking Champion, weigh ingredients. So, I think it really must be the way many chefs cook. I've gotten used to it.
I weigh a lot of stuff since it helps me count calories. It can be nice because you can just pour everything into the same bowl and zero the scale in between. Less cleaning that way.
Alton Brown & Anne Burrell are the hosts of a show called Worst Cooks in America, where 12-16 contestants who are very bad at cooking are trained by Anne and Alton, and are eliminated one by one by doing the worst in cooking challenges until the best person is left to win $25,000 and a cooking set. These dishes that Alton and Anne are making in the videos are the contestants' challenge - they have to replicate the dish the best they can.
@@I_dont_want_a_stupid_handle It might say "unsalted," but I wouldn't believe it. Unsalted butter comes wrapped in foil, because the slightest amount of light can make it go rancid in a matter of hours. I was more than a little shocked to see A.B. using this stuff, because he _knows_ this bit of food science. Thus, I can only conclude that it's actually salted butter with a dishonest or misprinted label.
@@CarlGorn I used to manage a grocery store. Not all unsalted butter comes packaged in foil. One more fun fact, unsalted butter can also be left unrefrigerated anywhere from several hours up to two days
@@I_dont_want_a_stupid_handle I must be watching the wrong programs, then, because every time I've seen a taste test of this unsalted butter that's not wrapped in foil, the verdict has been anywhere from subpar to truly awful. Just because a thing _can_ be done doesn't mean it should.
Watching Alton on Worst Cooks in America is actually very stressful. He wears suits, for one. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it makes him seem so uptight. Which he is. I don't like him on that show. He always seems agitated and emotionally constipated. Like he's about to blow a gasket any second. Whatever the case, that man need to freaking relax.
Wtf are either of you saying? Alton is one of the best, if not the best, & certainly most important cooking instructors English media has had in recent history. The show is about him & another (far worse) cooking personality *teaching* the "worst cooks" in America how to cook.
@@PLANDerLinde99 He's not, he's on a show called "worst cooks in America" a show where he & Anne Burrell attempt to *teach the worst cooks in America.*
Couldn’t disagree more, seemed like he was making an effort to explain the technique and logic behind each process because he truly wanted these people to become better cooks.
Compared to the other seasons and the other cooks he actually explained everything alot better. He gave exact times and measures for cooking and ingredients. The other people just say "some of this" and "cook till brown or done". If your an inexperienced cook those terms are really unhelpful
You are wrong. Plus plastic bag. Have your heard of all the throwaway plastic you have just added to it with no thought. BAD chef. The option still plastic but lasted me years is a Tupperware marinate works fantastic Wash it and reuse +++++ you top chef need to show your are environmentally conscious. You influence so many people use this positivity
I have to think the ratings are down with Alton, he's just not a good fit for this show IMO, his personality is odd for this show. We have watched every episode until this season, just not watching after the first couple episodes. Bring back Bobby or Tyler.
Literally anybody is better than Bobby. But Alton has easily provided some of the funniest reactions & most important/creative cooking tips in the show's 18 seasons.
Omg....awkward. Well, I used to watch your amazing show Good Eats with my young daughter and (former) wife and we had a blast. We also cooked stuff that we saw you cook. However, now I am an organic vegetarian and I have fewer options. So......I can’t watch stuff like this because there is no point, but if you could make something with ingredients that didn’t have parents that would be sweet. Thanks for your hard work and good attitude. 🙏
Alton Brown with good eats was like a myth busters styled science filled cooking show; so nostalgic to me watching as a kid!

What he says about the effect of brining is wrong
I like how he showed 2 different ways to serve it.
Did this recipe a few nights ago and made one alteration: pecans instead of walnuts. I like the milder flavor. And the dish turned out GREAT.
Wall nuts are like bananas i guess... Bananas are unripe, unripe, unripe, unripe, unripe, ripe, over-ripe.
... Banana Bread!
Then there’s the avocado.
Not ripe. Not ripe. Not ripe. Not ripe.

I just love Alton!
That guy Leo on alton’s team who’s a chemist scares me. Like if he’s that bad in a kitchen how does he function in a lab?
I love that even a person at the level of Alton Brown ain't shy looking at his recipe book.
those canned chipotles in adobo sauce have my secret ingredient in a dozen dishes for years.

As much as it tortured Alton doing this, he was an amazing teacher.
I think I will make this with regular non-gross potatoes.

Wtf is the point of your comment, that's what you, him, myself & any other human being would do.
I know im not a chef but how does warming up nuts before you warm them up again give extra flavor?
When you heat nuts, what you’re doing is two fold. One, nuts have some reducing sugars in them which causes something called a maillard reaction to occur, that’s the light browning you see on meat when it’s seared, or bread when it forms a crust, giving it a nice crunchy texture.
