In one of the currently showing versions of “Good Eats,” Alton Brown spends a good bit of time narrowing down his choice of espresso machines to one with “just the basics” that really won him over by...

Recently saw a repeat of the show where Alton made a smoker from ceramic pots and a hot plate. Was wondering whether or not anyone had tried this, and if so, what your results were. Am thinking about making one just for the heck...

Not only is Alton Brown hugely entertaining, but he actually helps me understand why cooking works the way it does. Understanding leads to long-term skill, which ultimately leads me to freedom from the bondage of recipes! The...

Recently saw an Alton Brown episode where he made a smoker from ceramic pots & a hot plate. This intrigued me, and I was wondering whether or not anyone else who might have seen the same show had actually built & used one of...

I am making my first Thanksgiving and have decided to make Alton Brown's Brined and Roasted Turkey because it has gotten so many rave reviews. However I am in a predicament. It seems his cooking times for the turkey have changed...

Note that Brown was a guest of Google at a Google event, thus a large Google introduction. The young woman, Marissa Mayer, is the corporate face for Google and is not a professional television personality like Alton. I think she...

Another thread http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/642329 about roasting your own coffee reminded me about an Australian method of roasting coffee using a modified bread maker called a Corretto ......

Alton Brown will be at University Bookstore in the U-District Tuesday Sept 23 at 7pm.

I have some Shun knives, though not the Alton Brown ones. I love them. They are thin and very sharp and maintain their edge for a long time. If you prefer the heft and thickness of the German knives (Wustopf or Henkels) you might...

Made this a week or so ago and it turned out to be the perfect homemade ice ceam. The texture was the best I have ever had in a homemade application. Smooth and creamy even the next day. What I need to know is I need to triple the...

Did Alton Brown's brine and roast last year. It wasn’t difficult, even though the roasting time and temp is not standard. The bird fit perfectly in my Coleman cooler with wheels and I put ziplock bags of ice in it and left...

The important thing is to go by weight when working out a ratio of salt to water in a brine. It’s too bad Alton didn’t give a weight or at least a type of salt, as it really can vary quite a bit. Morton is not...

Check out what Alton has to say, especially in part 2 of the interview where he disses Sandra Lee, talks about Giada never eating and says he has never met the Barefoot Contessa. I’m still not accustom to his 40-lb weight...

Yeah, I saw that in The Herald also. The Performing Arts Center (formerly Carnival now Arsht Center) is doing a “Food Series” this fall. Giada De Laurentiis is on October 24, Anthony Bourdain is on November 14, and...
