Alton Brown being silly

[trublgrl]

JUST an FYI: Putting liquid nitrogen or something frozen in liquid nitrogen in your mouth is relatively safe because somehow the expanding gas from the object protects your mouth from the extreme temperature. SWALLOWING liquid nitrogen, on the other hand, will burn the heck out of your throat and the expanding gasses will burst your digestive tract from your larynx to your pyloric valve. That's one to grow on, kids!

[WoundedEgo]

I knew he was funny... now I know he has "Suicidal Rock Star" devotion... I, personally, don't put food, soaked in Liquid Nitrogen, in my mouth. For a laugh. He's a Wild Kook.

[minion6500]

WTH u got to see alton brown LIVE!?!?!?!

[cocoacorin]

What was in that?

[AvaeleDarkblade]

That's not actually the definition of sublimation... he gets most of his stuff right though, so I'll let it slide.

[Haliax]

He is in fact correct: "verb

1 [ intrans. ] Chemistry (of a solid substance) change directly into vapor when heated, typically forming a solid deposit again on cooling."

If he had the tools to again cool the CO2 sufficiently, it would return to it's solid state. Always check your dictionary :)

[AvaeleDarkblade]

I am fully aware of the definition of sublimation. He said it was boiling though, which it is not. Boiling is the transition of a liquid to a gas. That is not the case here. That is why I said it was NOT QUITE the definition.

[Jsuarez6]

DING DING DING

You, sir, are correct!

[crazylime000]

awesome

[Celeza]

Dude my mom did that for my class when I was in the fifth grade.

[mtdewps3]

Alton is Great

[wanketta]

Alton's a genius. Do u know he gets no money at all from the tv show? Only from the sale of his books, DVDs, knives and appearances. So, show your support, and buy Alton's stuff.

[iloveharleyquinn]

Salt cellar for the win.

[spydyrman420]

Can somebody confirm this is true? A website or something? I'm going to be buying his books anyway (the man's a culinary genius), but I'd like to know if he really doesn't get money from the tv show (I seriously doubt it).

[nobby1701]

All money he gets from Food Network goes right back into the show. He makes his money from personal appearances and sales of books and dvds. There are links on his website to articles about him that say that. Also, I think there's a youtube of him on the big deal saying that.

[tylergenis]

seem like alton was made for TV (or in this case, the stage)

[kdrankins]

Alton Brown is my HERO. :x Does anybody know -what- he's got that's sublimating or did I miss that comment somewhere?

[Mana19]

graham crackers. lol

[kdrankins]

What did he DO to them?! :O! I feel like this is something I ought to try at home. XD

[Mana19]

He threw them in some liquid nitrogen. That's why there's a bunch of smoke.

[blackberryjuice1]

whoa, is that safe?

[Mana19]

o_o I don't know...

[ShiningSilverwind]

@Mana19 Yes its basically just like eating air

[Wilson1592]

@Mana19 It's not smoke, and it's safe enough.

[EFWWrESTlInGAdi]

its special edible one i think

[mistamustard]

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS.

It's possible to hold something that has been submerged in liquid nitrogen without getting frost bitten by exhaling quickly out of your mouth and breathing in through your nose. Breathing in through your mouth, however, can give you frost bite in your lungs. Holding even a teaspoon full of liquid nitrogen in your mouth WILL give you frost bite.

[shk9664]

u can do it with dry ice... gives the same effect.

[oromethehuntsman]

Actually, you don't even need to exhale quickly, if the material has a low enough heat capacity.

[patwams48]

@blackberryjuice1 yh its fine, th nitrogen evaporates as soon as you take it out of its containment

[theschneidersamurai]

@blackberryjuice1 Considering that our atmosphere is 78% nitrogen gas, I don't think it is dangerous except when liquid. Things that are frozen are just that....frozen and not dangerous. If I'm wrong.......well then I'll accept my wrongness with humility. =)

[wlmtopsportsman]

Let me try, let me try!!!!! LOL

[Timwashere74]

AWW HE SWOO SWILLYY

[Dr34am3r]

Yay! Thanks for the upload! <333

[Mana19]

:3 you're welcome.

[ScriptxKitty]

myspace/freestylekitten

[funnyanimevideolover]

Alton Brown is awsome xD

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

I absolutely love Alton. <3

[Mana19]

:O Who doesn't? I think he's hot. lol

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

He is totally sexy. He can talk nerdy to me all he wants. :3

[Mana19]

haha! YES! That would be awesome. x3

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

It would be the pure awesome. <33 I always have dreams about meeting him in the grocery store. xD

[Mana19]

LOL! YES! I met him before this video was taken and my friend scared him a bit haha. Throughout the cooking demonstration he kept picking him out of the crowd like if he laughed to loud and jokingly told him to shut up. XD I took a picture of Alton the moment he pointed to my friend and since then we've called the picture Alton Brown Wants You. XP

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

You are so lucky. I would love to meet him. I bet that picture is hilarious. xD Alton Brown in himself is definitely good eats. E>

[Mana19]

:O You can go on Deviantart and search for Alton Brown. It's one of the first pictures. You can't miss it. lol He's pointing right at you. hahaha I agree, Alton Brown is Good Eats

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

o: I am so going to check that out. >=3

[Mana19]

*points* GO! lol

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

+runs to DeviantArt. Witnesses the picture.+ o: Pure pounce worthy. Maybe I can con a friend into drawing art of me with Alton. xD

[Mana19]

xD I can draw you with Alton!!! *jumps around like a crazed fangirl*

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

o: I didn't know you were an artist. Have you ever heard of Gaia Online?

[Mana19]

Yeah but all my drawings are on DeviantArt.

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

I saw your art. It's awesome. I love the picture of you looking like L. xD

I'm a member of GaiaOnline. I love the site. I'm always asking people for art on there. I wish I could draw. >.<

[Mana19]

:3 aw. Thanks. Yeah me as L is funneh. lol. :O You can draw! Anyone can draw! All you need is practice! :D

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

Hehe. Well I practice now and then but I can only use Paint. I drew Pyramid Head. He was the first body I ever attempted. I also drew Piccolo's face. xD

[Mana19]

:O PYRAMID HEAD ROCKS MY PANTS! xD lol

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

O: I know! I absolutely love him. He is on my long list of obsessions. xD <33 I'm always asking friends to draw me with him. I wrote a short story about him and my character. It came to me while I was trying to sleep.

[Mana19]

Alton Brown AND Pyramid Head....Hmmm Good Eats! xD

[DisturbedxSkarekrow]

xD

Well Pyramid Head's helmet does kind of look like something you'd sharpen your knife with. Aha!

[meezey]

alton brown is the fuckin shit!!! i love absolutely every second of all his shows!! hes a freakin genius!

[Mana19]

So very true!

[AnruiK]

For those curious: Sublimation is when a substance goes from a solid straight to a gas, completely skipping liquid altogether. If you've ever played with dry ice, you know exactly what I'm talking about: gas/vapor that simply comes off the solid piece of dry ice.

The boiling point for those substances that can sublimate tend to be lower/colder than room temperature, which is why it can go from solid to gas. Room temperature is so hot for that substance that it simply turns to gas/vapor.

[skyborn95]

it was boiling without heat?

[paraiks]

what is he doing? i dont get it.

[piratequeen11]

Alton Brown is the host of good eats. its a comedy/cooking show. it may sound stupid, but its really neat! Especially When he blew up a turkey!!!!

[miablayde]

Alton is so clever =)

[Mana19]

I was there. I recorded this. O_o See that big gray bottle behind him. That's liquid nitrogen. One thing to know is that depending on what he's freezing , he can freeze it to his desired temperature. If you watch Ham on the Street, you know. That one episode when George made ice cream and froze it with liquid nitrogen. >_>;

[nerrage]

Wow u watch food network alot, huh? =)

[Mana19]

Yes... I do. XD Good Eats is the best.

[aKiKoxChAn]

i agree XD

[CrazyPilotEarl]

Not liquid nitrogen. If it were, his mouth would freeze shut.

[oromethehuntsman]

Yes, Liquid Nitrogen. The reason that it doesn't hurt him, is that the heat capacity of a graham cracker is low enough that very little heat is need to be absorbed from his mouth to raise the temperature of the graham cracker to the 31 deg C of his mouth. If he had placed a chunk of a aluminum of the same size in his mouth that had been chilled in LN2 then he would have hurt himself.

[bejr0]

@oromethehuntsman fuck you

[infernalcatfish]

Why are we counting farks? Dumb farks.

Fark six?

[robinfro]

fark five

[GooTuber]

fark fource?

[mistahtom]

Its something dipped in liquid nitrogen. Not really sure what though.  Fark thrice.

[Mana19]

Graham crackers!!!! X.x

[aleiss]

two farks

[MirthlessSmile]

fark and a half

[UnrealLucid]

fark

[Valhalla1]

actually, he's straight and is married

[Montagemaster]

fuck off faggot if you think he is gay then dont fucken watch it dumb ass

[bcgoddess]

fuck you

[rolandblais]

>So....how'd he do that???

Get dry ice. Put a chunk in your mouth. Keep it moving.

Try it, it's fun!

Don't blame me if you get hurt.

[Mana19]

O_o actually, I'll tell you how he did it. He poured some liquid notrogen on graham crackers, which were in the silicon baking pan, and when they were nice and frozen he put them in his mouth. It's kinda like when you put a piece of ice in your mouth on a hot day and breathe out. Only here it's exaggerated by the use of liquid nitrogen. <3 Don't you just love him?

[rolandblais]

Aha. Thanks!

[pancake12345]

So....how'd he do that???

[methusulah]

sooo dangerous. and submlimation is when a subtance goes from solid to gas. and there is heat, which is room temperature. (there really is no such thing as cold, just less and less warm, yay chemistry!) but i'm sure he new that

[PolygonPi]

shouldn't the dry ice kill him?

[mistahtom]

Its not dry ice, and dry ice will only kill you if you asphyxiate yourself with it.

[McFudpuck]

Where was this?

[Compmouse213]

Yea, and what was it for? KitchenAid?

[supermercadooo]

nice

[MidgetMe]

OMG, that was so cool! I <3 Alton Brown, he's my freakin hero, and I don't even like 'typical' cooking shows!
