The turkey - my number one thing that people don't get is take that sucker out of the refrigerator about three hours before you plan on cooking it.
Alton Brown
Image
What happens is that in each clump you've got the gelatinization of starches, which happens very quickly at the surface of the clump and it kind of forms a protective skin around this dry hunk of flour.

If you really love stuffing, wait until the turkey comes out of the oven, add some of the pan drippings to the stuffing, and bake it in a dish. That's called dressing, and that's not evil - stuffing is, though.

What tends to happen is that people will go - they've got hot broth, you know, they've added some liquid to their drippings, they've brought that up to heat. And then they try to add in a big clump of just kind of a handful of flour, and of course, it turns into library paste.

Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.

I love poking fun at myself. I have a rather mean sense of humor.

The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.

I've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.

The only unitasker allowed in my kitchen is a fire extinguisher.

Gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful.
Alton Brown
Image
I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator, but I'm learning.

I can’t talk about anything or write about anything if I don’t understand it. So a lot of the stuff that I go through and a lot of the time that I spend is understanding.

When you're touring, you're constantly in motion.
Alton Brown
Image
Culinary tradition is not always based on fact. Sometimes it's based on history, on habits that come out of a time when kitchens were fueled by charcoal.
Alton Brown
Image
My first book is really about heat. That book, for me, was an exploration of heat as ingredient. Why we don't talk about heat as an ingredient, I don't quite understand, because it is the common ingredient to all cooking processes.

I'm too tired to hate.
