Take ice. Ice is fascinating to me. Ice is the one thing in our world that went from an agricultural product to being manufactured.

More quotes by Alton Brown
I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.
Alton Brown
I'm prickly. I fuss over every single detail.
Alton Brown
The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.
Alton Brown
I keep the ThunderCats thermos safely in the kitchen.
Alton Brown
'Outlaw Cook' was a revelation. Folks like Jeff Smith and Marcella Hazan got me interested in cooking, but John Thorne pushed me into the path that I follow to this day. This is the only cookbook I've ever read that understands how men really eat: over the sink, in the dark, greasy to the elbows.
Alton Brown
Molecular gastronomy is not bad... but without sound, basic culinary technique, it is useless.
Alton Brown
I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.
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
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.
Alton Brown
The jewel of the lard is right around the kidneys. But this is a fat that has a very specific crystalline formation and a high melting point.
Alton Brown
I think in the end there are only 20 or 30 tenets of basic cooking. It's going at perhaps the same issue from different angles, from different points of view, from different presentation styles, that really makes things sink in and become embedded.
Alton Brown
A meringue is really nothing but a foam. And what is a foam after all, but a big collection of bubbles? And what's a bubble? It's basically a very flimsy little latticework of proteins draped with water. We add sugar to this structure, which strengthens it. But things can, and do, go wrong.
Alton Brown
If there's something I feel certain of, it is that we're not very aware of each other and that's largely because of social media.
Alton Brown
Do not allow watching food to replace making food.
Alton Brown
Everything in food is science. The only subjective part is when you eat it.
Alton Brown
I hate using the word coagulant.
Alton Brown
Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
Alton Brown
I approach cooking from a science angle because I need to understand how things work. If I understand the egg, I can scramble it better. It's a simple as that.
Alton Brown
I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.
Alton Brown
That's the ultimate goal of most turkey recipes: to create a great skin and stuffing to hide the fact that turkey meat, in its cooked state, is dry and flavorless. Does it have to be that way? No. We just have to focus on what the turkey is and what the turkey needs.
