Good Eats S1E6P1: Churn Baby Churn

[CrownedWithLaurels]

Alton is welcome to frolic on my frigid frontier if you know what I... Wait a second, that doesn't sound quite right...

[LootableCorpse]

Lol this guy really loves zest

[toffeeaddiction]

this reminds me of my upcoming chemistry and bio exams which i should be studying for. ah well i like watching these better :)

[bennygreatpeople]

Whoa, 1:20, it says at the bottom "Kroger 12:00 AM"

Does that mean he films his store stuff at midnight with a few extras?

[LudicrousPlatypus]

@bennygreatpeople I suppose So, Otherwise their would be people walking through the shot.

[QueenBoadicea]

I've made my own ice creams for years; it's a happy task I always turned to during the summer months. Thanks to Mr. Brown for this episode.

[cookiesluvkreme]

Is it wrong to say that it makes me turns me-AHEM- makes me very happy when he discusses food in chemistry terms?

[ERboulder]

I'm glad I'm not the only one out there shopping for Ice Cream at Kroger at Midnight.

[Arkenarge]

I did a science fair project explaining how cooking is considered chemistry. Guess what i got....... a F- D:

[MrSnackerchip]

@Arkenarge Whoever your science teacher was, they need to be fired! Unless of course you just brought in a bag of Cheetos :D

[logiclovr]

I don't think the handcrank ice cream maker scene was as funny as the one episode where Elton pulled taffy. That ep was hilarious! I wonder where Elton is today....

[guygal12345]

hehe, nasty white stuff

[TLRfrozenfire]

"Uncle AB, this isn't as fun as you said it was."

[LilacElf8582]

@TLRfrozenfire

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have an electric ice cream maker. Mine is a hand crank and it still makes a mighty nice sorbet.

[yolo22]

alton brown is the king!

[ChipNick87]

He made a recipe for chocolate ice cream on the Food Network website, but it has egg yolks in it.

[ronnyrizat]

did anyone else think this recipe had too much sugar?

[ChallengeDK]

@ronnyrizat Why are people always complaining about sugar in ice cream recipes? Are you surprised that sugar is a main ingredient in ice cream?

[ronnyrizat]

@ChallengeDK of course im not surprised, i just thought that it used a substantial amount more than necessary thats all.

[ChallengeDK]

@ronnyrizat Well, Alton himself gives the reason as to why the amount of sugar is used - water crystal formation and thus the texture and softness of the ice cream.

[trumbachd1]

@ronnyrizat When AB gives us the 15%-30-% 'range' of what will work, he actually gives use the keys to the ice cream kingdom.

in theory one could Halve the sugar in the Ice cream or double the sugar in the granita and pick the balance of sweetness and texture that suits the individual.

I think that, rather than the specific recipes, this ep was about giving the viewer the tools to create ones own recipe.

[elfboy382]

No because it can churn many different deserts. Its like saying a spoon is a unitasker because it can only stir(if you get my meaning).

[enjnsdk]

Thx like the hat for posting fast loading good eats!

[hellogirl567]

i like alton brown and his show good eats

[mklish]

What's a blackboard doing in a supermarket?

[JuryDutySummons]

"Add the rest of the lime celser... slowly" *dumps all of it in*

lol.

[darkprose]

I love how he completely ignores the kids complaining...

[flickeries]

Lead the world? Are you kidding me? NOT WITH ICE CREAM!

[theblackspidey97]

hahaha lmfao a dairy fearri

[trumbachd1]

Thanks for showing a non dairy frozen desert as well, AB!

We Lactose Intolerant fans salute you!

[mklish]

We're not alone lol

[pibeagles]

Science is cool AND tasty at the same time!!!

[kiminokami]

Cool? Downright freezing!

[yobenezneb2]

"Ponder Endothermics" - as a chemist, I have to smile and give kudos to that... ;-)

[heyawhaw]

benzene boy hahaha

that's what I call a nick name for a chemist!

[memory627]

ironic i used this show to pass chem class

[Drukstylz]

Am I a freak for wanting to bang W?

[memory627]

i dont think so

[racheesi]

Not. At. All. :)

[DeadtiredFastasleep]

Isnt W his wife in real life?

[ap22987]

No. She is actually his chiropractor.

[FlipSnipeZ]

LOL no, his wife is american

[TheAbstruseOne]

No, that's not what makes you a freak.

[ravi930]

every food has SALT

[mike01147335]

my brain hurts!

[emouch1]

ahh... makes sense now. thanks!

[emouch1]

wait...I am a bit confused... he says you want a 30% solution by weight. that means for 1 litre of water (1000gram) you need 300grams of sugar. however 16oz of water to 7oz of sugar are 455grams of water to 200grams of sugar which is more than 45% sugar solution... am I missing something????

[HoboKnifeFights]

well roughly 30%, it's not exact, so you will probably come out with several different numbers

[sarngiber]

Your using faulty math. It's not a ratio at least not in sugar to water. The two ingredients together comes out to 23oz total. 7/23 comes out to roughly .3 or 30%.

[taimak123]

this is the first episode besides the thangsgiving special of good eats that i saw

[shlnmastakilla]

11 seasons

[BigHubbaBubba]

Started July 7th, 1999; 9 seasons in total.

[narcissiste84]

mmmm, science is yummy =P

[shlnmastakilla]

there are 11 seasons

[MrNgMichael]

theres 9 so far

[shark96z]

no there is 11 seasons check good eats wikipedia page

[recchiap]

Don't you love how Wikipedia is always correct and never gets anything wrong...detect the sarcasm

[piratequeen11]

What is right or wrong? it depends how you look at it. I mean is one opinion any better than another? Or is dark chocolate any better than milk chocolate or milk chocolate better then white chocolate? It all has to have a balance *cues sun beam and angels singing* oh wait, you mean the facts? Then screw that, just check out a book! The internet is ran by total idiots half of the time!

[DarkSoldier712]

As of this moment (December 2nd, 2008), Good Eats is currently into its TWELFTH season. Source? Food Network's website. The most recent episode (Switched on Baklava) is listed on the site as being Episode EA1210. That's Season 12, Episode 10.

[KBTurner31]

Actually, it is a well known fact: dark chocolate is better than milk chocolate and white chocolate is just awful(jk). Seriously though, wikipedia is not a credible source for anything.

[piratequeen11]

oh ok, I didn't know that! thanks for the facts! ;)

[FrostbittenWolf]

I agree completely but that's because i think dark chocolate is the only chocolate with actual flavor because it actually has a large content of cocoa solids. Milk chocolate tastes almost like pure sugar and white chocolate isn't even chocolate. Of course i feel the same way about green vegetables: the darker the better. And coffee. Darkness is normally an indicator of rich flavor. And that's good eats.

...

Now i really want a baby spinach salad...

[piratequeen11]

Really? Same here! But I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I prefer milk chocolate of dark chocolate (I'm not a big fan of the bitter taste,) but the darker the vegetables are, the more flavor they tend to have. Have you ever tried eating peas from a pea pod raw? They're actually really sweet!

[FrostbittenWolf]

Peas from the pod is the only way to do it if you ask me. Snow peas especially.

[FrostbittenWolf]

So is the U.S. government but the country is still around.

...

Kind of.

[ravi930]

sometimes it is not corrects
