I just received this. It's a bit late, but FYI. Patty (IC Mojave Desert) -- "Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence." --- Alice Walker ...
My son has to bring to school a food relating to a state he's studied. I suggested Texas Chili. His class is in the afternoon (2pm). I thought I could send it...
I have a Pyrex 9x13 version of this.. It's an insulated carrier, with a heat/cold pack.. You can either freeze the pack, to keep things cold, or heat the...
... Well, that says you're "one of us!" Normally I would say an insulated carrier but since it's for a bunch of kids, I think you need to be extra mindful of...
Take a look at this crock of a list. AB, as usual with these type of publications, was left off the list. I find it very amusing that they included so many...
FOODS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD (WT) Premieres: 3rd Quarter 2010 Food guru Alton Brown hosts this mini series that explores foods that have shaped the course of...
Because of Good Eats and my remodeled kitchen, I'm cooking. I hated cooking (liked bakiing), but Good Eats is such a great show I now enjoy cooking and trying...
No idea on the gloves, but I believe the bread is called Brioche. I bet Alton qwould smile if he heard that he'd inspired you to start (and enjoy) cooking. ......
... If you mean the huge heat-proof gloves, I think they're welder's golves. Try a good hardware store. ... Brioche, probably. That's an egg-based bread....
Alton uses welder's gloves and also silicon gloves to remove hot items from the oven. The silicon gloves don't melt unless they reach about 500 degrees. ...
Thanks for the responses. The AB site only has the gloves in a BBQ kit...didn't want to pay that much. And the Foodnetworkstore didn't have anything (I don't...
I have a minimal amount of kitchen "tools"/"gadgets" and I'd like to get some other things but I don't know what. So, what are a few things that you have in...
I would skip the cast iron pan. I almost never use a dutch oven pan either. There are a few recipes where it would be nice, but I get around it or redo the...
Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a good set of knives I think... Wusthof (sp) Classic. What is a "good set" of pans and a "good" electric skillet? Right...
A good set of pans or electric skillet, is anything that fits your needs and your budget. You don't need to spend a lot of money and don't pay the extra money...
My 2 cents on the equipment: * If you like steak, YES on the cast iron pan. Cast iron steaks are TO DIE FOR. Seriously, I would choose it for my last meal on...
It might be worth noting here that Our Hero has a book on kitchen equipment, called "Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen". ... [Non-text portions of this...
I use these things nearly every day: 1. a box cheese grater- use for cheese, veeggies, many other things, and eliminates the need for a mandolin. 2. non stick...
My two cents: *Get an *instant* read thermometer. Make sure it is the fast-acting kind that will stabilize at a temperature in less than 8 seconds. You can...
... I can't imagine not having cast iron pans. They are better AND safer than non-stick. And they don't wear out like non-stick. I am using my grandmother's,...
Regarding pots and knives, the key is to skip the sets. You need a really good fry pan, a non-stick, a few others; but a large boiling pot, for instance can be...
I totaly agree on the cast iron skillets, I have 3 and properly seasoned, they are non stick, and cleaning is a breeze. heat the pan up add water and use a...
... It all comes down to what you cook. I have a big skillet that I use a lot to make small soups instead of the dutch oven. I forgot about that. I almost...
Not sure if I am behind the times here but today I noticed that Alton Brown is coming out with a ne book in October 09 called "Good Eats The Early Years" He...
