Good Eats S1E12P1: Power To The Pilaf

[Jakathera]

Hi everyone. I dunno what he's going to say about rice cookers, but if you're thinking about buying one, definitely check out the Asian markets first. anywhere else in the world they tend to forget the nonstick coating in the pot, so you'll get burnt nasty stuff if you don't watch it constantly. I've had numerous cookers over the years, and in this case - Asians do it better.

[randomgeneratedname]

Aha Ziplock bag this time D;

[bishopplumbing]

Rice isn't hypo-alergenic, my dad is allergic to rice.....

[gunnarwordon]

Tar Baby? xD

[dtothelu]

Also, the world "glutinous" derives from the word glue not gluten, so it does make sense.

[dtothelu]

Did he just say a place not in Asia was the rice capital of the WORLD?!?!

This is madness.

[heyidaroo]

Is anyone else bothered by the way Alton said "risotto"?

[QueenBoadicea]

It's a shame about that clumped rice. But it needn't go to choke the family pets. He could have turned it into rice pudding. :)

[JustOneAsbesto]

zomg he actually said ziploc in this episode.

[voxombrae]

6:01 - the good eats team can't spell "separate"? really?

[diaverde09]

I want the box he has at 4:20. That's a bad ass box.

[whitenegro88]

hes so stoned in this one

[616geek]

the sound quality wasn't that great.. now I'm sad :(

[PraiseDivineMercy]

LOL, I think he refers to the Zojirushi fuzzy logic ricecooker, which is the one I have and the best one you can get. It has settings for different kinds of rice including brown and sweet.

[photohunter87]

Hahaha... slight U2 reference at 3:25.

[Narashava]

Rice cookers can also be used to store away evil green dudes named piccolo....

[awesome220]

Rice is nutritious?

Well, not white rice

[primaverasensei]

if you rinse it after cooking

[awesome220]

What?

[Rozesama]

if white rice is not nutritious what provides most of the nutrition for Asia?

[awesome220]

fish and fruit and vegetables.

White rice provide energy, but white rice itself (unless it is reinforced with nutrients) does not offer anything other than calories.

[Narashava]

The remains of aborted female babies of course! : )

[jalacy93]

fish...

[Pyroblazer]

Fish.

[awesome220]

Vegetables. White Rice provides calories.

[Jealkeja]

White rice IS nutritious, it's the most eaten food worldwide

[awesome220]

Just because it is the most eaten food does not make it nutritious. Look up the nutrional facts of white rice. It has next to nothing. White rice provides energy, that is why it is important. Brown rice also provides fiber and protein and iron and some other nutrients.

I am not saying white rice is bad for you, but it is mainly an energy source for most peoples; not a nutrional powerhouse.

[awesome220]

White rice has no nutritional value other than having calories.

Brown rice, on the other hand...

[Jealkeja]

False. White rice provides protein and iron

[awesome220]

not much

[ninjaswordtothehead]

@awesome220 Well, sometimes the white rice is "enriched" with vitamins and minerals. It is arguable however, wether or not this actually adds any benefit. I just go with the safe bet and use the brown rice.

[awesome220]

@Jealkeja McDonalds is also eaten in vast quantities, but it is not healthy. or nutritious.

[russellaguilar]

lol i have that rice cooker.

[Lisanab]

omg omg omg he FINALLY said Ziploc, not zip-top!!!!!! yay!!

[drakendrones]

he is sooo intelligent...so lucid n i luv his accent...so concise n clear...super intelligent n equally witty! he has got me hooked to GE! U rock AB!

[BigDizzad]

love the roll-e-kit full of rice.....sweet Alton rocks

[NoadiArt]

Crock pots do wonderfully well as rice cookers too and most people already have one lying around.

[archangelxarchangelx]

American rice is white cuz we bleach teh hell out of it >.>

[chefmarcgirard]

no. it is white because underneath the brown coating is removed.

[drumsolo88]

woah, what is that contraption he rolls out at 4:50??

[shaunette9]

thanks so much for posting these!

:)

[Pokygirl2001]

WOOO I have that exact Zojirushi rice cooker that Alton had!!! =D

[ibbiggs]

me too :D

[Pokygirl2001]

And it is teh awsome =]

[trammy3]

is this the first episode that W appears in?

[mdhofstee]

Nope she was in for the gravy episode and probally earlier one as well.

[MahBoi3579]

lol I want that rice robot :)

[bonapartist]

He's very awkward in the very first season, in case you're dense to notice.

[suburiboy]

as one might expect

you would to!!!!

he still made a compelling program, so it is not as important.

[LeonWolf]

You said it your self his first season are you perfect at every thing you try on the first go. What dos youre dense to notice even mean.

[chrismendez07]

the full programs are posted, but they're posted in parts: -P1 and -P2, this is part 1

[orangejon]

Most of these "Good Eats" videos are truncated. It's a real shame, because they're really great! Can anybody post the full programmes?

[Virtualgoose]

look at about 1:38. His mouth doesnt match when he says "persia"

[AshleyTatton]

oOoo, Tricky. Looks like he said a whole different country, specially since when Persia was dubbed over it was slowed down like Perssssssia to fill in the gap.

[wurmwizard]

It's just a blip in the video feed, it's not dubbed. Good Eats does more than one take per scene.

[Klutzfilmstudent]

it looks like the sound was done ADR, with the wind so high in that field there'd be no way to get clear audio on location so it's common practice to record it later....same for the fair grounds that acounts for the slight off syncing

[asininityy]

weee rice. eat it everyday :)

[bria5544]

This one is about Rice. Keep em coming
