Good Eats S4E11P1: Puff The Magic Pastry

[missyeonna]

too much rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Jodabomb24]

6 people can't dig it.

[SimuLord]

As we all know from the cookie show, gluten is CHEWEH! Something puff pastry should never be.

[lollieserendipitie]

The first time I EVER dealt with puff pastry, I went all the way and made it from scratch at home. I cried several times but ended up with awesome tastiness.

[L4mpL1ght3r]

I would have saved myself so much time and trouble if I had just re-watched this before attempting my dessert.

[hanabitori]

Way-fa thiiiiin apples. xD

[bloodmuffin1]

The intro is kinda hot...

[werealldudesya]

I can dig it.

[popze]

We have those tables at the school, although he makes puff pastry in a whole nother way that we do. But hey, as long as it comes out the same way :D

But we are told that there are two kinds of puff pastry, and that they are "rolled" differently :)

[Goldey94]

The intro to this is so fucking funny.

[Pokegirl1094985]

"AB slipped at this point and put the camera's eye out. You can avoid such disasters by resting that dough!" lmao

[TheAutumnExpresso]

Like if you do double fold which will make 4x amount layer it will be

2 - 8 - 32 - 128 - 512 - 2048~ something like that... but yeah juss doing the double fold six times will give you around 2000 layers.......

[TheAutumnExpresso]

if you practice it it doesn't take hours upon hours you could fold it a few times before freezing again if it's 1 cold enough or 2. fast enough

[MWImmortalking]

Lame into didn't flow into the opening *trolling* xD

[thegoodgeneral]

Arr yu shurr? Iz waaafahr sin.

[glen922]

I can't believe Alton wouldn't make his own puff pastry. Just seems wrong.

[Opheliac666]

@glen922

I KNOW!!

I think, maybe, even Alton has things he just can't do...I failed at Puff Pastry...4 times. I'm never making it again either.

[mafrek]

@glen922 i think he did this just as an alternative to making it yourself. he probably did a different episode with it

[HIchewforYOU]

i like the video but the picture is a little scratchy

[natenatedog]

whats that intro song a remix of the puff one???

[GammaZulu]

SHAFT.

[GammaZulu]

@natenatedog

Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?

[300BC]

I've always liked Good Eats because Alton just doesn't tell you how the cook something, he gets into the details of why things work out as they do. You can apply what you learn from one thing to others. The science of food.

[jacobestes]

I agree. There's a lot of goofy stuff I don't really care for, but I'll take it because he gives you way more information than any other food show.

Although this episode is much more like a regular cooking show. I find that strange.

[carmanshuey]

@300BC thats the reason he made the do

[Hallamfoebell]

@300BC are the recipes good?

[Hallamfoebell]

@300BC are the recipes good? Well its good his telling the truth about hopefully of stretching and killing the camara

[300BC]

@Hallamfoebell Guess that would depend on your own tastes. But as I said he is more into the science of food, why different aspects of food/food prep does as it does. And once you understand these aspects they can be applied to everything you cook. For the ones that ask why, why, why about everything, he answers the whys.

[Hallamfoebell]

@300BC well have you cooked some of his recipes? Like the fudge?

[300BC]

@Hallamfoebell No I haven't, I do like good fudge though, I'll have to check it out.

[Hallamfoebell]

@300BC Me too I would like to try his claw crabs and his fudge and his sushi

[memory627]

@300BC this show helped me pass high school

[zapbuddha]

Hi, just read Alton's wikipedia, impressive. It's no wonder the presentation is entertaining and educational! Alton, you must be really 'puff' at that.

[sophiespazzface]

I'm training to be a patisserie chef and on the first day of college our teacher told us we were going to make puff pastry. It's honestly no big deal, after your first turn all you have to remember is to take it out the fridge every 10 mins and give it a quick reroll and another turn, which only takes about 60 seconds. I always make a big batch and keep it in the freezer so I always have some.

[spoonballs]

the quality is shit. why so?

[sonikdude49]

@spoonballs 2007 the hq was in 08

[latitiko]

i love this vid!!! thanks for shearing

[mosc7fm3]

lol wat a funny video. i am trying to make puff pastry right now and discovered this! thanks for the vid x

[sandn8r9]

The intro is legendary! I'll add it to my (very long) list of reasons why I love Alton Brown.

[boredoutofherwits]

I love the very beginning XD

[zboishcha]

lol 'and together we'll good eats make?' If you ever find a food show that is scientific AND funny, contact me

[pibeagles]

maybe 'Good Eats'?

[Amitic90]

way-fa thin haha

[307651]

at 3:46 he says stink not think

[krayzgerman]

or whatever that was...

[krayzgerman]

I hope he never tries to rap again.

[Salesmistake]

That isn't "rap". It's a parady of the "shaft" theme from the early 70's.

[krayzgerman]

Like I said... "or whatever that was..."

[whitefire64]

it's kinda creepy

[PINKbyVictoriaS]

@Salesmistake Nevertheless, the theme song was hilarious AND awesome!

[darkcerberus56900]

Alton Brown FTW!!!

[aznshrimp90]

it loads in a min

[rabbitsrock07]

This guy is awesome. XD I loved the apple-tossing part.

[starian1234]

Welcome to the addiction.

[cursedchaos13]

"Wafa thin"... Gotta Love Alton!!

[shufk77]

how many times has his kitchen changed during the years of good eats????

[starian1234]

Twice, three times to get technical.

[supsup195]

3 times

[SSSOFFBFProductions]

i think four

the first few seasons are in this kitchen, the next couple are in a person's actual kitchen, the rest and up to date episodes are filmed on a set. there was also an episode where his own home kitchen was used, but im not sure when

[poker720]

HxWHalers go get a life u just spam stuff its not true i read this last week still fine!

[gdmcgill]

the part with the apple is awesome!

[drummerman73]

just my comp.... or does this take forever to load?

[gdmcgill]

took a modest amount of time for me....could be your internet connection

[shufk77]

instantly for me.

[MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt]

while ure working the dough haha..

[xeryph]

Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea!

Haha nice title!

Good episode.

[thundergods]

Informative video, nice tip on seaming the folds... but... way too many "laws/rules"! I use puff pastry instead of fillo on a traditional "banitsa" (pastry with feta and egg filling) every week, and I break all of these "rules" every single time, and my little triangle puff pastry "banichki" always turn out great... A person who's never used puff pastry is likely to be intimidated and never venture into it with all these "rules"... It's not as exact of a science! It's easy, fun and fast instead.

[FIyingDumpling]

they are not exactly rules...more like something for beginners rather then people who have been working with pastry for a while like you :\

[starblue337]

ALTON BROWN IS SOO SEXY!!!!

[gacktsplaytoy]

omg i soooo agree!!

[grassjelly991]

yeahhhhhh he's mine!!

[judyb1169]

Me too!!!

[pisces38]

haha I love the "Shaft" beginning. PUFF!!!! lol

[T3hT4ng3r]

i wish i could do that with the apple

[canadaphiliac]

"Wafer thing", awesome Monty Python reference. Alton Brown = Teh Amazing.

[Virtualgoose]

Awesome! I love how you put these up, 'cause i dont get Food Network on my TV.
