Good Eats S3E10P2: Pantry Raid III - Cool Beans

[zwithgol]

I only make pinto beans because they are the only ones I like. Anyway, when I do make beans I always add the salt right at the beginning. I never have a problem with cracking.

[Jodabomb24]

Anyone who dislikes this is a fuzzy-headed ninnyhammer.

[MsJup1ter]

Does anyone else have the eurge to hug Shirley? Or is it just me?

[JohnLuckPickard141]

"Look what you've done"? That has got to be Alton's biggest failed attempt at being funny. Oh, well; we all love him anyway!

[MsGooch72]

Who wants Shirley Corriher to read them a bed time story? *Raises hand*

[Drunkmc]

Has anyone tried this with a slock cooker instead of the oven? I wonder if makes them just as good?

[SimuLord]

I hinted at this in my comment for Part 1, but no true-blue Bostonian would think of adding jalapenos or cayenne pepper to a pot of baked beans. Boston baked beans are supposed to be a distinctly sweet side dish to...well, whatever the Puritans ate, but my Boston born-and-raised soul thinks hot dogs and Red Sox games on the radio while sitting outside on the front porch.

8:15 I wonder why he chose not to use the traditional Tahini?

Maybe because it's more widely available?

[rdloorz]

I wanna cook with Shirley, she's awsome.

[fae430]

we made hummus in school but all we added was roasted garlic and chick peas

[trlkly]

@fae430 I like it that way, myself. It's definitely better than the premade variety. When I actually bought some premade, it was the first time in ages that I accidentally let the food go bad.

[itsbeadyeyes]

Tahini is the only way to go for good humus. I know Alton was trying to make the recipe more accesible to the average American, but the flavor is really very different. Its worth the extra money and effort to find it.

[catman72]

at 08:20 - please PLEASE  use Tahini and not peanutbutter,

it's less calories and so much better for you.

it's not only about tradition -

peanutbutter is almost nothing but fat.

Tahini (sesame paste) will give you also calcium and iron !

and leave the parsely for garnish.

[ZombiedustXXX]

Alton knows that beans and "dutch ovens" make for a real mean team! LOL!

[drivem42]

HUMMMMMMMUSSSS

[chevon1920]

Oh good, i can make hummus with peanut butter. Tahnini is so damn expensive.

[CSFP123]

can't be that expensive...how much is it?

[sweettcd]

I wish AB can make more Good Eats ep...i love his show and i learn a lot from him...hehe...

[marieariel]

No wonder British 'baked beans' always look soggy - they don't have any sugar or molasses- they just chuck a can of chopped tomatoes onto some white beans and put them in a can!

Nice visual aid of the intestinal system without being gross : )

[Kitsune420]

Shirley's awesome.

[whitefire64]

what ever happened to her?

[tylergenis]

the way that lady talks i want to punch her

[eleezyienne]

lol

[VoraciousLime]

Aww, I think she's sweet!

[xkirahatesyoux]

Lol, did anyone notice that Thing had two hands when he was adding the peanut butter? :B

[pibeagles]

Also when grinding the pepper!!

[boredoutofherwits]

YAAAY I can replace the peanut butter... darn I hate my allergies.

[RedHilariousComments]

haha, the hummus reminds me of "Don't Mess with the Zohan". good movie with adam sandler

[StaceyR618]

I can't believe he used peanut butter instead of tahini in the hummus!

[TheJuggaler]

Pause it right in the beginning. LOL his face.

[mct0818]

Is it just me, or does the old food science lady remind you of Yoda?

I think its the accentuated marionette lines and her cadence.

[Pokygirl2001]

But Alton! You didn't tell me how to tell which kind of bay leaf I have!

[magdalene74]

crack it and smell it...if you smell vicks... run ;)

[Pokygirl2001]

I have a cold, maybe I should crack one open and try clearing my nose!

[SasukeFreak]

wasabi or horse radish does it well too

[suburiboy]

he is the beastest tv chef ever

[soschadao]

try kombu, this japanese sea vegetable aids digestion of those nasty protiens. without destroying the flavour or texture and it also adds a slight ammount of salt! it also dissolves naturally.

[suburiboy]

sugars he said they were
