More quotes by Alton Brown
I grill, therefore I am.
Alton Brown
You need to either create a slurry in a cold liquid, which also works with cornstarch, or you've got to do your gravy in a very wide pan and kind of scatter the flour over the top and then very quickly whisk it in.
Alton Brown
We are fat and sick and dying because we have handed a basic, fundamental and intimate function of life over to corporations. We choose to value our nourishment so little that we entrust it to strangers. This is insanity. Feed yourselves. Feed your loved ones. And for God's sake feed your children.
Alton Brown
I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.
Alton Brown
The thing that helped me get into the film business was that I went to school in Athens, Georgia and managed to get on, um, working on music videos for a band called R.E.M. and that kind of opened up a lot of doors for me.
Alton Brown
I'm loyal and very good about giving people opportunities.
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
Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.
Alton Brown
I never rated my cuddle factor, but I expect it's pretty low.
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 like a really goofy home ec teacher.
Alton Brown
Laughing brains are more absorbent.
Alton Brown
I'm an absolute connoisseur of cheeseburgers and like to think that I can detect even mere percentages of shift in fat content in ground meat in a burger and can actually name the temperature to which it was actually cooked to the degree if I'm, you know, really on my game.
Alton Brown
A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.
Alton Brown
I want to bring things up to room temperature, especially poultry, before I cook it because I want it to cook faster so that there's less moisture loss.
Alton Brown
All that [replacing of fat] does is lead to dissatisfaction and I think that dissatisfaction results in overeating.
Alton Brown
I do know I'm a control freak.
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
I'm grateful my teenaged daughter is healthy and well and for the work I do to make a living.
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!
