Good Eats S6E5P2: Egg Files V - Quantum Foam

[jolenealaska]

I love Alton Brown. I mean really...I do...

[logiclovr]

@hurricanejbb check out ABs recipes @ food network.com. It's probably there. :D

[logiclovr]

"you look familiar."

"*shifty look* no I don't." XD rotfl!! Coco Carl is my fav good eats character.

[NewAgeGilgamesh]

Lmao, never leave foam without it.

Someone got a Hammichler Schlemmer gift card for Christmas. Love the hover bubble.

[katsygirl28]

perhaps you could trade the different savory for sweet?

I think the actual methods are what counts,and you can change the flavor accordingly.

i understand why paul is speaking french now. i just watched the episode on poaching where the french chef washes his brain. i guess his brain is still messed up. also one of my favorite episodes

[pliterallyh]

Wow, I never thought of the thumb trick.

[marieariel]

So what would one serve this with? It doesn't seem like a meal on its own.

[Isolder74]

A cheese souffle basically is.

You could serve it with fish or chicken. Pick something will go good with the cheese sauce that the dish will leak on the plate as you consume it.

"Thump indentation" ....now that is a great tip! Thank you!

[neptuneswarrior]

Le Paul got ownd!!! Alton rox!!!

[ZroseZ]

are souffles any good? I've never had one.

[kataisa3]

I love souffles they are light and tasty without being too sweet.

[MarcusNoble]

I love the accent Alton gets when he says "It's foldin' time!"

[Beccka]

This episode is funny - it's clear that Alton actually is nervous in making the souffle. I wonder how many he ruined in the course of filming?

[hurricanejbb]

In an interview with AB, he once mentioned he made a souffle out of brownie mix. I wish he would have mentioned that as well. Does anyone here have any clues about how to turn brownie mix into a chocolate souffle?

[shlnmastakilla]

put it in the roux

[grahambcp]

Probably just make up the brownie batter as normal and fold it in to the beaten egg whtes and put it in a souflet dish dusted on the inside with dutch cocoa powder/butter and bake the same way that this soulfet is...... though let it be known I have NO IDEA how this would turn out..... but it "could" work.

[SimuLord]

@grahambcp Worst case scenario, you get brownies that are just a fair bit lighter than normal brownies. Might not be a chocolate souffle per se, but probably still good eats.

[VoidOnTuesday]

@hurricanejbb foam the whites as he does in this video, simulatiniously heat the mix, yolks, and an amount of clarified butter equal to the amount of fat required on the package on a double boiler. Whisk the batter in the boiler heavily to ensure that all the powder is dissolved and the yolk is equally mixed. Fold in the whites gently as AB does in the vid, put carefully into a brownie pan, or a couple pans (don't fill more than halfway) and hit the oven @ 375. Watch, wait, test with a toothpick

[Brandon16044]

@hurricanejbb combine it with egg whites?

[RainOnTheWindow]

"Heeey! Wait up there Big Hand!"

rofl
