Good Eats S6E14P2: A Cake On Every Plate

[AllieMcKeen]

But how long do you bake them??

[galeriadodoce]

Hi my name is Dulcy,rsrsrs you are crazy but i loved, congratulations.

Im from Brasil and watch your videos everiday.

[GmanNetworks]

He forgot to lick the beater.

[logiclovr]

@hodgrix ok remember AB said that butter has a low smoke point which means it melts at a lower temperature. Well if you grease a cake pan with butter, it will melt too soon and the water in the butter will turn into steam. Because it has nowhere to go, it will condense on the bottom of the cake and make it mushy and squishy and un brown. I hope that answers ur question! :D

[hodgrix]

@logiclovr wow interesting. thanx. who knew?

[hodgrix]

he said using butter to grease the pans would prevent the cake from browning. ive always thought the opposite, as butter browns, because it has some milk solids. its not a full 20% water. sum1 correct me if im wrong

[errormsg5]

i liked the small sauce pan part

[Andophonic]

I'd kill for a stand mixer with flames xD

[iSynOSX]

@Andophonic just get one and Paint it. Its easy.

[Andophonic]

@iSynOSX If you knew my skills in art, you'd know its anything but easy xD

[iSynOSX]

@Andophonic Fine I'll do it. lol

[DullBullet]

"Wait five minutes... >:| "

xD

[andrewt248]

I can hear it now... "I frost my cakes at 33 1/3.  You?" And the 10" drywall taping knife is genius, too!

[Pyroblazer]

Lok you gotta love that one guy that posts "OMG HE USED A UNI-TASKER!"

When it is not a unitasker, an unitasker would be a garlic press, or a yogert maker

[ThInTrM]

Pyroblazer: I know, right? There's a ton of people on YouTube who seem to watch Good Eats just to gloat whenever they think they've discovered Alton using a unitasker or using false information.

It can be pretty irritating to see.

Yes, Alton Brown does sometimes make mistakes, and yes, he sometimes contradicts himself. It's not like he isn't aware of it! The whole "STUFFING IS EVIL" sign popping up whenever he talks about stuffing or filling wouldn't've become a running gag if he wasn't!

[Pyroblazer]

Yeah, got to love a guy that can poke fun of himself right?

And I have YET to see him use a tool that couldn't be used for something else.

[xkirahatesyoux]

Omg, I loved the part with the record player. He's so clever.

[drybones234]

lol he put the plate on the record then played it! HA! great idea i wish he had cinnamon or original icing XD

[promagic]

Hmmmm....Curious his website says 300 grams of flower however alton brown says 350 grams of flower....

I know who i'm going to listen to.. THANKS Master Chef!!

[bunnybunnydumpling]

Flour.

[zeitgeistry]

Only Alton Brown could think of using the lp player - pretty awesome!

Not sure if baking two cakes at once will produce even baking result but I guess he made it worked...

[mzonse]

cocoa whipped cream : do you have to let the gelatin-water mixture cool first before adding it to the other ingredients?

[hoodedraider]

the LP player is a genius idea :O :D

[FreakPower70]

Hey that looks like Nik Kershaws album "the riddle" on the record player.

[ErinSyahnazBhangi]

what's a cocoa mix? isn't it just cocoa powder?

[DarkSoldier712]

Yes and no. Good Eats Cocoa Mix (from Art of Darkness II) does contain cocoa powder, but there's more in it than use cocoa powder. There's powdered milk and powdered sugar, cornstarch, salt, and even a little cayenne for some kick.

[DarkSoldier712]

*just, not use

[colfranz1278]

yeah! Whipped cream rocks!

[YustynaK]

OMG the little saucepan is soo cute!!! I know its a measuring cup but its still awesum!

[Jguy27]

Darkblade119 you may want to increase the time by at least 10 minutes and check after 5 minutes. Everyone's oven is different. I know mine can be fast. I baked a cake today and it was done in less than 30 minutes.

[darkblade119]

can someone help me out here? i baked the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes like he said but it wasnt nearly done

[aizan19]

it's not supposed to be done in 12! you're supposed to check whether it's baking evenly at 12 minutes and move them around if necessary. it should take ~30 minutes for them to bake completely.

[obamamama0185]

Haha, nice homage to the Jetsons.

[ctarider665]

i love how the timers have changed season after perfect season love good eats love AB!!!!!!

[ukgirl1972]

JANE. GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING. >.>

[javakat343]

1:50-1:51 is the cutest thing ever!

[HighHeelsGurl]

@javakat343 ummm why?

[javakat343]

"if your short on indentured servants..." lol

[gocrazed1]

@javakat343 It's you're. Not your.

[javakat343]

@gocrazed1 Thank you? I wasn't expecting a grammar lesson but okay...

[yaazey]

powdered gelatin? Hmmmm...

[Cofaidh]

Hey! He used a piping bag. But that's a unitasker.

[Visionism]

Actually they're great for making sausage links too :)

[dsm4gsus]

It's as much of a unitasker as is his electric hot water boiler. You can put many diff. things in both.

[Isolder74]

The thing can also make marshmallows, merange cookies, filling popovers, eclairs, the list goes on. Its not a unitasker but it is more expensive.

[zeldarooles]

"uh, insurance policies"

[marasmius]

"Nobody likes a soggy bottom, Right?"

[ebwarg]

Unless maybe you're making Shoe Fly Pie, but that's another episode...

[Spaceperson]

"a small sauce-pan"

[yum1971]

I like cake.
