6:04 Best evil laugh evar

[SimuLord]

Second time in this episode he says "you'd end up with scrambled eggs. Not that there's anything wrong with that." Love the subtle Seinfeld reference implicit in that.

[goldenlover606]

Wait... I thought adding salt to your eggs before you cook them was forbidden because salt pulls moisture out of the eggs resulting in dry eggs. I'm confused.

[Ostromite]

@goldenlover606 There is no where for the water to go when you add salt to the beaten eggs; it stays right in the liquid. Also, beaten eggs form a stable emulsion, so the water is largely to bonded the egg yolk's lecithin (and, therefore, to the egg fats) to evaporate away.

I learned how to cook omletts and eggs correctly because of this episode. Before I ever watched this episode, I always made my eggs in a cast iron frying pan and everytime I did, I always saw parts of eggs still stuck to the pan and I hated that. I never knew that eggs should be made on a non stick pan. Now I know and I use Alton Brown's technique all the time when I'm making my eggs. Thanks AB. You really helped me.

[rubyfire317]

i only do the half fold

[motopix45]

Still no love for rosemary! :(

[kiminokami]

@motopix45 Roesmary is great for chicken or fish.

[KaltorRotis]

Awesome episode. You should also check out Julia Child's version; probably the awesomest method possible...

[lessthan555]

his laugh at 5:58 kills me

frittatas are like, my favorite type of eggs, as he says, they are velcro for your fridge, so its easy and tasty, while getting rid of leftovers or food i cant find other uses for.

but i cant stand the way he made his, he allowed it to broil too long, which means that the top layer is going to be kinda crispy, everybody always does that with their frittatas, and i dont get it, its much tastier when you leave it fluffy! (i broil while watching it)

[alex707able]

i love this video its easy to make and good too!!!!!

[sonikdude49]

spike is so cute

[twyztyr]

This is one episode that will NEVER leave my DVR.

[leslieweasel89]

You have obviously never seen a used condom.

[eurohim]

You obviously have no imagination and are a cold, dead and empty shell of a human being who can hardly claim to be alive at all.

[leslieweasel89]

Wow, ok, I can't even be mad at you for that because it made me laugh pretty hard.  Nice work.

You're right, it was a cheap shot. But if your used condoms are open on both ends then something is wrong. :-)

[agentbl]

I recorded this episode onto my cable DVR and then onto my DVD. I learned how to cook eggs properly because of this episode. I used to cook eggs in a cast iron frying pan and it was horrible. He said to cook eggs in a non stick frying pan and I've been cooking them this way since I've seen this episode. And I still look at it from time to time on my DVD. Thanks Alton.

[bobzilla174]

Thank you Alton! This is my last minute crash course before I cook my omelet on the breakfast line tomorrow!! Wish me luck!

[HinataYuri]

so how did it go? it must have gone well right?

[andyjack33]

This program is excellent wish we had Alton Brown in the UK instead of swearing Gordon Ramsey.

[hoodedraider]

he may swear. but hes a fine cook

[DeathguardJono]

We have Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver. What more do you want?

[SuperOlds88]

@andyjack33 you had the best, Keith Floyd

[sabian1hhx1only]

man puts more cheese in that thing

[kiminokami]

I was thinking that, too, but I don't necessarily mind.

[MattyMatt761]

roux brothers cooked their omelet for only 30 sec.

[mouna28]

You can do omelett as "dessert" : with little pieces of apple (cooked with butter and added vanillia extract sugar at the end ). With a little vanilia ice and 2 or 3 mint "folia "

[MetaGrave]

Hmmm... I think one with provolone, garlic, and thyme is just what the doctor ordered.

[HylianSpirit]

I'm gonna do this right now...

[boredoutofherwits]

I love my omelet with tomatoes, onions and cheese :)

[Psychochaos3]

Damn, the perp got away again.

The food police commisionner isn't gonna be happy with me.

[pickitupdlux]

dammit , @Psychochaos3 you're a loose cannon, the mayor is going to have my ass!

[chemgirlie]

I loved the "Bam" reference to Emeril.

[klined]

egg, swiss cheese, spinach, god damn

[TheJuggaler]

LOL It's the egg pacman

[kgirl102689]

i just basicly like my omlettes with swiss cheese

[Steveoknoxvilmargera]

4:15 lol!

[codybird34]

I made this, but when i ate it the inside was all runny and the outside was slightly burnt. :(

[guitarbumx]

Your pan was too hot! It's alright.

[kiminokami]

Depending on the actual doneness of your omelet, you could solve the runny-ness problem with a minute or two of carry over heat time.

[howelwitzer]

"CYA COPPER!" haha AB is the man

[ZroseZ]

what's with all this talk about water? i've always added milk. does it matter?

[Isolder74]

Not really.  Water and milk will thin the eggs about the same amount.

[MoyraAngel]

Spike is so dang cute.

[mlarock]

that pink lipstick looks silly

[Supnitle]

AWW SPIKE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE

[axl870]

I LOVE WHEN HE MAKES ONE OF HIS CLONES

[TIAAVENDEALANTIN]

heh...he said BAM! again...I love it when he does his subtle rips on Emeril.

[darkidz24]

...but better

[AshleyTatton]

Smelling things in a sealed container right out of the fridge before looking to see what it is would be risky in my fridge, lol. Things seem to hide in the back, it's crazy.

[Spaceperson]

haha pacman at 9:50

[hamsterlover0220]

what r u the food police? oh you r the food police!

[pisces38]

"See ya copper HAHAHAHAHA" lol

That frittata looked delicious I might try that.
