More quotes by Alton Brown
My mantra was to educate people - to actually give them the know-how they could use - and to do it in a very subversive kind of way. I would entertain them, and I was going to teach them whether they knew it or not.
Alton Brown
Butter typically melts around, you know, 90 Fahrenheit, as opposed to about 20 degrees higher for lard. So what that means is that when you're working with it, the lard is going to stay more solid, which is great for flakiness.
Alton Brown
Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
Alton Brown
You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food.
Alton Brown
Laughing brains are more absorbent.
Alton Brown
If you're good with a knife, you don't need your eyes.
Alton Brown
I'm prickly. I fuss over every single detail.

Cranberries contain a massive amount of natural pectins. They will gel all on their own, which is why you can basically make cranberry sauce out of filling.

Basting is evil. Basting does nothing for the meat. Why? Skin. Skin is designed to keep stuff out of the bird, so basting just lets heat out of the oven. That means the turkey will take longer to cook... so don't touch that door!
Alton Brown
Take ice. Ice is fascinating to me. Ice is the one thing in our world that went from an agricultural product to being manufactured.
Alton Brown
I found that if I offered to cook for a girl, my odds improved radically over simply asking a girl out. Through my efforts to attract the opposite sex, I found that not only did cooking work, but that it was actually fun.
Alton Brown
I'm grateful my teenaged daughter is healthy and well and for the work I do to make a living.
Alton Brown
I feel like being on Broadway will convince my mother that my theater degree was worth it.
Alton Brown
I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time.
Alton Brown
Enough people have now mentioned Bill Nye the Science Guy to me that I now desperately avoid it all costs.
Alton Brown
My feeling has always been that 'Good Eats' would have never happened had it been left to a committee.
Alton Brown
I've learned that you shouldn't have preconceived notions about anybody.
Alton Brown
I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I'm better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don't.
Alton Brown
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.
Alton Brown
I do know I'm a control freak.
