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.

More quotes by Alton Brown
The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with.
Alton Brown
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
My advice: write down everything you eat. It's amazing what that self honesty can do for you. (Do you really want to have to confess that doughnut? I thought not.)
Alton Brown
I'm too tired to hate.
Alton Brown
I kept thinking, 'Somebody has to make a food show that is actually educational and entertaining at the same time... a show that got down to the 'why things happen.' Plus, I hated my job - I didn't think it was very worthwhile
Alton Brown
Your patience will be rewarded.

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

I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.

It's funny, when you look back in history books or American cookery books, one of the reasons that the quinces and cranberries are used so often is because of their natural jelling properties.
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
The only unitasker allowed in my kitchen is a fire extinguisher.
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
I'm just sitting around thinking about turkey.
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
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 like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.
Alton Brown
Gluttony is wrong. It's wasteful.
Alton Brown
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.
Alton Brown
I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.
Alton Brown
Believe me, a grain is a terrible thing to waste.
