Good Eats S1E3P2: The Egg-Files

[Beachangel1221]

A wood what? Did he say wood rest? I'm gonna get laughed at in the store. :(

[thegoodgeneral]

"Should keep us busy for 6 or 7 seasons...."

Oh, Alton, if only you had known back then... if only you had known....

[missdragongoddess86]

Only new doctor who fans would understand my craving for fish fingers at around 7:50

[FM897]

Seriously, guys, try this method! You will get PERFECT scrambled eggs every time!!

[SethHesio]

The way he flinches when the cook breaks the egg is hilarious.

[pyrorecipelist2]

4:95 verified by mythbusters. nothing is more versatile than ducktape

[miniace7]

:O THAT'S HOW I MAKE HARD-BOILED EGGS!!

[Maryinthewindow]

I kind of want to marry him:) Life would be so delicious.

[miniace7]

@Maryinthewindow He's taken : /

[Seinneam]

Don't worry if you don't have gas...

[frigidkitsune]

Egg shells are easier to break because it's thinner than bone

If it were as thick as bone it would be as strong as bone

derp derp derp

[knightsintodreams]

i grew up on island eggs >.< mom, why'd you do that to me! thank god for alton...

[asumbudee23]

if egg shells are like bone why is it so much easier to break them than a bone?

[Mewfan]

NONONONO! Don't beat the eggs before you put them into the pand and don't add salt before your almost done! Beat the eggs in the pan!

[roaming85]

Just fyi. The final shot of those eggs still isn't done. You can see the water hes talking about waiting to be all gone from the pan pooling up on the plate. Close but no cigar.

[SimuLord]

...about 6 or 7 seasons...or 14!

[logiclovr]

@sophgruff diets are overrated! Gimme the curd!! :DD

[walpoly]

at 0:18, the chef and somebody in the background are juuuust about to lose it and bust out laughing. I love that they left it in.

[philritter21]

Beat your arm off. Lllllol

[sophgruff]

If you've never made lemon curd- seriously go make it. Egg yolks, lemons, sugar, butter. No it's not good for you but good lordy it is going to heal your soul to eat this paradoxical concoction of buttery acidic creamy just sweet enough goodness. PS Alton Brown shows you how to do it right!

[TLRfrozenfire]

so if i want to seperate yolks from whites i must endure radioactive poisoning like i must if i want to split an atom, not the wierdest thing i've said . . . or done

[Ashilikia]

9:01 hahaha

[DazzaBo]

I feel like I'm watching a children's science show crossed with an adult's cooking show. Awesome.

[DazzaBo]

I feel like I'm watching a children's science show crossed with an adult's cooking show. Awesome.

[andrewt248]

Looks like lemon hollandaise to me.

[Jojoax]

Duct tape ftw. lol he had the water for the lemon curd in a science beaker! that is awesome!

[fashizzle]

1:58 he has all his eggs in one basket. risky business

[kiminokami]

Are you sure those are ALL his eggs?

[RookofIvory]

@fashizzle You severely underestimate the number of eggs Alton has, my friend.

[C5Rigzz]

@fashizzle Alton likes to live on the edge!

[MRSketch09]

@Video

I never thought I would say this about eggs, but awesome. (Well its more associated with the info in this video..)

[shinfan2]

i like my scrambled eggs over cooked with a little ketchup on it

[gjack80]

lol...are you african american

[asialeah07]

@gjack80 who were you refering too?

[ZOODUDE100]

you forgot to say in "Recipes Featured"

Eggs over easy

[Schutzstafell]

It's above that...

[jookiyaya]

hahahhaha after he crushes the egg everyones laughing except for alton bahahhahaha man this is good stuff.

[aaadianaaaa]

I thought he said in another episode never use a nonstick pan for any heat over medium. He just turned that up to high?

[megaplatypus]

haha I think the egg crushing bit was unscripted. Alton genuinely looks pissed off, but he's a proper showman so 'the show must go on!' :D

[jdesireg]

personally I like my scrambled eggs gooey

[ap22987]

"Do you want to see a magic trick?"

"No."

"Ok, but just this once."

hahaha

[mrjules2008]

good eats is usually spot on but i think gordan ramseys scrambbled eggs r better! i do more butter (no milk), dont beat before putting in pan and season at end. these shows rock tho and all in all much more useful, interesting then ramsey. peace out x

[Lisanab]

I think it is a personal thing. I love so many of Gord's recipes, but his eggs were a runny sloppy hot mess. I much prefer a firmer, buttery scramble. As I said, a personal pref.

[HelenaSnoopy]

"We spin, we stop, we release."  xD

[Dekagaru]

Wow, at 19ish seconds when the redneck cook smashes the egg you can hear the cameraman and director laughing.... in any other show this would detract from the production, but in this case it just makes the show that much more charming.

[FM897]

@Dekagaru Yeah, I think I remember watching in some behind the scenes footage that that guy wasn't actually supposed to crack the egg.

[klined]

"beat your arm off"

[randomgeneratedname]

3:22 3:28 ahahahahahahahaha

[smartification]

My dad is a scrambled egg master... Except when I try to mimic him I end up hurting myself because he habitually cracks his eggs on his knuckles. He's a gnarly old dude.

[FrostbittenWolf]

The trick is to experiment with different amounts of dairy. Rather than finding out a measurement you want to find out the color that the resulting mix should be. Another trick to getting them fluffy is to continue to flip the mix around while it's frying.

[bartolemeo]

Ah, post a good cooking class and the critics come out like flies :) thanks for another AB lesson.

[MCJROTC101775]

Eggs are good..

[altonbrownrox123]

the scrambled eggs are wonderful it is the best dish ever!

[RyuTheAwesome]

I personally think you guys are making your eggs toast =] If they are a little underdone and taste better and were using pasteurized in the shell eggs, then why worry?

[poker720]

lol 0:19 - 0:20 crew laughs

[Steveoknoxvilmargera]

yah, most people i know, and even my family agrees those scrambled eggs are underdone (I'm a food dork -.-)

[smartification]

Same here... The're a bit too slimy and not fluffy enough.

XD Not that I can do better. Mine suck.

[kgirl102689]

i accually have a different way of making hard boiled eggs (too long to explain in this text) but they always come out perfect

[james42519]

those eggs don't look done to me. like other people said should have a little brown on them. you should also add cheese to them and eat with ketchup.

[james42519]

he used 3 dishes just to crack eggs? that's crazy. you would do that? most people crack on the edge of bowl and have no trouble. he needs to learn how to do it like everyone else without getting the shell in it. there are ways now.

[SenFushigi]

I love the magic trick.^^

[chibspan]

I made his lemon curd and it was lovely! We spread it on ginger bread.

[chriscumbag]

Gotta say, I don't agree with the whole "cooked in the pan, overcooked on the plate" thing I've heard so much about. I've found that the taste the best and are cooked the best when there's slight browning on the egg when you scramble it.

[DesiRobot]

I grew up on overcooked eggs. Perfect timing at the dinner table was never something that existed in my childhood, so reheating food was a constant. However, as an adult now, I cook and eat properly through the wonders of Alton Brown's educating show.

[khesed]

Was the crew laughing?

[mauserman3]

yup!

[ajk]

You can see Alton gave a look in what I would assume is the direction of said crew afterward too. Great stuff.

[cursedchaos13]

Pound Cake!!! WOOT!!! I will seriously have to try the lemon curd, now... My cousin's wedding cake was made out of pound cake... random fact no one really had to know...

[laradenny]

Eggs rule

[ixivietqtixi]

i'm allergic to eggs =[

[aquaamant]

I weep for you

[Steveoknoxvilmargera]

that sucks O.O

[InuYasha6651]

I love AB's little quirks! Like how he had his water in an Erlenmeyer flask.

[brickct123]

Alton Brown is my hero :)

[evfich]

i love warm hard-boiled eggs

[Hamlette69]

When it comes to many things, Brown is good! I like my eggs over easy with some garlic Yes, i love the hat!

[PhredLevi]

I don't know about Alton, but I like my scrambled eggs to be a little lightly browned on the outside.

It just has more flavor to me.

Great, now I've got a craving for Eggs.

[jamesjyu]

Slightly brown scrambled eggs?! That's blasphemy.

[mauserman3]

Scrambled eggs?! That's blasphemy! it must be over easy!

[Steveoknoxvilmargera]

Anything he cooks gives me a craving for whatever it is, it's strange.

[mafrek]

yeah me too i dont eat lemon curd but i really feel like having some with pound cake XD

[mafrek]

i just looked in foodtv and he has no recipe for pound cake :/

[FrostbittenWolf]

It's basically just putting cake batter into a bread pan.

[mafrek]

no it isnt. theyre a lot heavier and not as soft. either way id like a recipe from him.

[zboishcha]

pound cakes are bacically a pound of eggs, butter, flour and sugar, assembled using the creaming method

[Dakaggo]

I feel silly but the thing this helped me with the most is a hard boiled egg. I mean its not my fault really. I never usually make them so I just have them on occasion when my mom makes them or during easter when I was a kid.

Apparently her method is very wrong because I just made some the good eats way and realized that my mom's were far overcooked. I don't put salt on them either but I decided to try some on my second.... I kind of forgot though x_X. It was just so tasty.

[axl870]

the big guy scares me

[l337nik]

His play on the chorus of "Romeo and Juliet" at the end of the last part was beautiful. I love this man and his word play; he's definitely one of the better TV chefs.

[Juhsayngul]

I love how he refers to ingredients as software and equipment as hardware..

[mike1161]

awesome stuff but I still can't cook one over easy without breaking the yolk. damn it.

[Nihtshade]

just flip it with a spatula:P

[FabyLemos]

then ur a loser

im a teen and i can do that easy

use a spautla like the 1 guy said or buy a really big pan

easy as pie 2 flip it using a big 12 or 14 inch pan

hmmm pie

[Supnitle]

Great.

Now if you could only learn to use capitals.

[cuptow555]

This is my favorite episode of Good Eats! THANK YOU for posting it!!!

[clash32978]

the cook breaking the egg...and you hear staff in backround and guy playing cook laugh...i watch ed it a couple times and damn near wet myself

[DerfMik]

[12Katsu]

HAHA! The way he ate that lemon curd and cake!!! HI-larious!

[JonnieZombie]

Wow, thank you for uploading this. I'm going to make egg things now. :D

[jookiyaya]

oh my lord.. this is one of the most funniest episodes ever... the ugly egg comment from the 1st part was hilarious. and this was too much. oh man..
