Good Eats Season 10 Ep4 (1/2)

[banjopuppet]

Love the 'Napoleon Dynamite' reference at 3:38!

[logiclovr]

AB: go clean the scum off the moat!

Dungeon Master: yay! Lucky straw!!

May I just say: eeeeyuuuuuk.... XP

[astrangeone]

A needler? Where the heck can I get one?  (Lol, I thought of Halo....)

[avoiderdragon]

Lucky straw~ HOOHOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!~

[nardo218]

I almost bought some cube steak today, but I didn't know what to do with it. I thought it would be hard. But i can do this! Confession: I deglaze my pan with chicken bullion, sorry Alton, I don't use chicken stock enough to keep it around. Also, I don't have a dutch oven, so I'd do this in a frying pan and then decant into a casserole to bake.

[QueenBoadicea]

@nardo218 I make a lot of substitutions when I'm cooking, too. I know stock comes from bones and broth from meat. But when a recipe calls for stock I generally use the store-bought broth. At $0.99 a can, it's most affordable. Fancy wines? Cooking wines will do. Food from a can? Gleaned veggies from the local farmer's market. Cake flour? All-purpose. It's a toss-up between what's cheapest and what's most available. That's what I like about cooking; it allows the innovative cook to improvise.

[Blazkowicz777]

he actually made beets a good eats special despite what he said then in this episode

[Zidana123]

WUHPSSSSSH! WUHPSSSSSSSSH! WUHPSSSSSSSSSSH!

It's called a Needler!

*has a mental image of Alton chasing screaming grunts through the verdant fields of the HALO with the Needler, yelling "I AM THE MASTER CHEF!"*

[mtiller2006]

The scene with A.B. and the Dungeon Master...that's class and amazing! Gotta love Good Eats! Alton knows!

[XXSUPER17XX]

i would love to see him make liver and onions teast good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any body

[carmanshuey]

@XXSUPER17XX as much faith i have in ab i dont think its possible for me or my mom to like liver and onions grandma and my step dad do but they arent aloud to cook it within the house

[darkemachine]

wtf liver and onions are so good specialy when their put into fried rice

[greenleafslove]

I love how they managed to get in a Napoleon Dynamite and Lord of the Rings references into the very same scene. Chatting online w/ babes all day indeed!

[dethflip23]

FACE PALM!!!!!!!!!!

[Fujiflan]

Haha "Wapshhh Wapshhh... WAPSHHH WAPSHHH"

I have to get one of those ^^

[aangandtoph4ever]

I love the dungieon master. ^_^

[Mombuck]

He says the only uni-tasker he has is a fire extinguisher. What does he use to open cans with? That too is a uni-tasker.

[ap22987]

not really, because you would use it to open many different cans, which would be used in many different recipes.

[TheJuggaler]

Also you can use it to open bottles

[xeryph]

Still technically a uni-tasker, a can is an object, the shape or contents of the can may be different, but the fact remains that a can is a can is a can. I guess it depends on your philosophy =)

[ChumleyWhiplash]

apparently you can use them (can opener) to open those stupid clamshell packaging that everyting comes in now - you know the ones - they defy scisors and end up slicking your hand open when you get frustrated and try to tear them appart...

[greenleafslove]

I think the "uni-tasker" principle has more to do w/ how many different things the tool can work on, as opposed to it just being for a specific things. With a can opener, there are probably thousands of different canned goods. You can open tall cans and short cans, thick and thin cans, it doesn't matter. Not take something like a mango splitter, that's about the epitome of a uni-tasker. There's nothing else it can work on besides mangos.

[col1211]

yeah but no matter what size shape or color the can is it is still just a can ...it cannot open anything but a can. uni-task: it has one soul purpose in its entirety...TO OPEN CANS!

[Satashi26]

The style of can opener AB uses isn't a unitasker. He uses it a few times in other episodes to do other things such as, opening cans, popping bottle tops, and using the handle as a lever to open twist-top containers that were stuck, as well as jelly jars that he couldn't open normally.

Considering there are "Jar opener" gadgets, the can opener is, indeed, a multi tasker.

[MoyraAngel]

I think that it is not just how many different uses you can get out of something. BUT How often you use it! Example: If you are a serious rice eater, than a rice cooker, though a unitasker, is a good investment.

[Jgaldragon]

His cow sketch looks like mutant rabbit O_o

[archangelxarchangelx]

dude thats so gollum

[coolperson50613]

Frankensteak...lol

[DinoMartini]

Dont be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day.

[khesed]

There must be a way to meme that.

[ctarider665]

A.B HAS A MOAT KOOL

[ctarider665]

lol liver and onions on permenent display lol danm right it is lol

[soraalterego]

I love Alton's expression at 5:15.

[FiSHareFRiENDSnotFUD]

what else does the meat cuber do?

[MNeko]

I don't think the Needler does anything else. Seems that AB occasionally goes back on his Uni-Tasker policy....

[DarkSoldier712]

You could use it to dock dough...or poke holes in potatoes...

[Isolder74]

Also note that he rejects the massive, expensive machine that does the same thing. The machine cost only abour 10 bucks and for a device that works very well it does not make itself that much of a space waster in the kitchen.

[xeryph]

All too often. Truth is, some uni-taskers are just essential in a kitchen.

[xFireHeavenx]

Righteously put in both remarks. It depends on your philosophy and how essential the uni-tasker is.

I think though, that AB's biggest gripe with some uni-taskers is not only just function, but cost. He doesn't like rice cookers as cooking in a pot is just as easy (function) and the cost is somewhat high (cost). Same with that fine wire mesh strainer in season one--quite costly and the function is easy to duplicate.

Can opener? Hard to duplicate, and the cost is low, not worth an argument. ;)

[quicksilvertruth]

@xFireHeavenx

Or more simply, you don't open one type of can. You can open cans of nearly anything.

Hardly a uni-tasker.

[eddievhfan1984]

@xFireHeavenx And hey, some come with bottle openers, so uni-tasker no longer. :P

[andrewt248]

@eddievhfan1984 - the a Star Wars/Master Yoda reference at 10:07.

[LeonWolf]

Make disobedient children behave?

[Airea85]

This is great, all these eps and he still has ideas. :)

[doctahomieg]

lol at the napoleon dynamite reference

[alefeb1]

Sweeeeet.... the food gallery is back!!!

[Zephilindrum]

Looooooool, Smeagol parody.
