Love you Alton!!! We can always count on you to make our days so much better to get through. You're my favorite!!! Wish I could meet you...well, not now of course...but after?

I'll be honest: you aren't the force getting me through this disaster, you aren't telling me anything I didn't know. You're doing things in an entertaining manner, low key, I could watch you forever. Keep doing your thing, you are excellent at it.
"You've probably got a bunch of food sitting around. Let's make some popcorn with it! So go to your pantry and grab that ghee, nutritional yeast, and furikake. But you don't have cheese powder, so order some off the internet for this next part."
I actually do have nutritional yeast and furikake in my kitchen, and I could make ghee from butter, so I'm good. The yeast is sort of like a cheese substitute anyway.
yeah this is extremely out of touch for a "pantry raid" recipe. I much prefer Glen & Friends for this type of series. Although much respect to Alton Brown he really does some great stuff.
Those were optional. You could also just throw on some Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt or Everything Bagel seasoning. It's up to you - that's just what he had on hand.
When theres an actual apocalypse and zombies are emerging on all major cities, the power grid has been shut down and all government officials are hiding in underground bunkers, I feel like we’ll all be here, watching Alton make spaghetti in his weird little abandoned kitchen.

@Harold Potsdamer i know you are probably correct, but the way you said it makes me want to kill myself to minimize my chances of ever meeting you in person.
Most woks (or at least the one I have) are made from a little heavier duty metal, which means it will take longer to heat up. His bowl seems like the best method for heating up quickly without burning.
"Enjoy the popage ". Thanks for this, Alton. Clever technique, as usual. I don't even like popcorn, but I've enjoyed all your demos for decades, and it's a pleasure to just absorb anything you care to share. You're terrific, as always. Skol, namaste, and keep 'em coming. 🙏✌️🖖😋 By the by, since I don't like popped corn (leaving two hungry, unsupervised kindergarteners in the car at a carnival in 1962 - you could do that then and not be arrested- with a huge bag of popcorn, is a recipe for gastric disaster, and a lifelong aversion. We finished it between us. 'Nuf said about that), I got some whole sorghum grains at the health food store and will pop them soon. This is enjoyed often in Africa and India. I'll try it with ghee. It's also gluten-free and non-inflammatory, unlike corn.
I want to curse the people creating algorithms that listen to my conversations through my phone, but then Alton never would have shown up in my feed. This is the ONLY time I’m okay with the internet spying b/c I had no idea I can get my Alton fix on YT.

Knowing myself, if I tried to hold it on, I'd end up with half-popped corn all over the floor and be very sad.
@@soygurl24 My spatter shield has a long handle like a skillet. When I shake the pan -- as I always do when making popcorn; I make mine in my soup pot -- I just have that handle in the same hand as a pot handle.
@@soygurl24 I just use my hands. I use a stock/large soup pot, crank up the heat, add ghee/oil and salt, popcorn immediately, then I hold the top lip of the pot and side handles and splatter shield together and vigorous shakey shakey until popcorn is done. The top lip of the pot never has time to get hot, the shakey makes the unpopped guys fall to the bottom and moves the popped guys around fast enough so they don't burn. I can make a video if that isn't clear.
dear Mr.Brown, watching your work has been a delight of mine for a while now, and at times like these, it's even more so to be in your virtual presence. thank you for the work you do
Alton Brown the man who put my 2 favorite things on television science and food, and called it Good Eats. Thank you for existing, and thank you for this channel!
I didn't realize how comforting this video would be, but as soon as he started talking I was transported back to being a little kid watching Good Eats with my parents on a Saturday afternoon. Much needed in these scary times
I'm lucky enough that my work can be done from home, but all that means is that I end up working even more. Tough to separate work from "before/after work" when you're home the whole day. Still, problems of the privileged.
Two things: Wayyyyy back in the middle of the last century, my family had a popcorn popper, probably from the 1950s. It was small, but had a popping bowl separate from the heating element, and the bowl was, in fact, hemispherical. They may have been on to something there. Second thought: we saw your live show in Philly and enjoyed it a lot, but my wife still hasn't forgiven you for not finding some way to get popcorn to the people way up in the nosebleed seats where we were. Stay safe, and thanks for the giggles.
If you don’t want to buy cheese powder off amazon, you can also get moon cheese. Costco sells it in big bags and many grocery stores have it in little ones. Just dehydrated cheese. Then grind it up and sprinkle on the popcorn.
I dunno, I think Alton could do Good Eats just on RUclips and we’d all be forever grateful to him
Yes!!!!!!!
sadly thats branded so he cant do it alone, but its better on tv cause he can do the fun skits with the production crew

I can make a video if that isn't clear.
@@soygurl24 Binder clips work well for this.
"Thank you for washing." -- Brilliant.
First time viewer of Alton Brown video. Excellent work on the popcorn. You should do more RUclips.
“Alright, I think we’ve got decent poppage...” 😂 You’re using my language. You’re the best Mr. Brown.
I just noticed he has a tattoo on his left arm. And it's funny how he is and being himself and not the tv personality. Loved that show good eats.
dear Mr.Brown, watching your work has been a delight of mine for a while now, and at times like these, it's even more so to be in your virtual presence. thank you for the work you do
I should adapt that “so I just won’t come back in here.”
Super difficult in a studio apartment. Just sayin.
"This is my quarantine mask".
Missed opportunity to call it a cough-ee filter.
Alton Brown the man who put my 2 favorite things on television science and food, and called it Good Eats.
Thank you for existing, and thank you for this channel!
I live alone, "I just won't come back in here" doesn't work for me.
well you could just board up your kitchen and start a new kitchen in the bathroom.
Doesn't stop me from trying it though.
Seeing you still belting out content despite everyone hiding in their panic rooms warms my heart.
I didn't realize how comforting this video would be, but as soon as he started talking I was transported back to being a little kid watching Good Eats with my parents on a Saturday afternoon. Much needed in these scary times
Alton doing the “salt bae” pose is something I didn’t know I absolutely needed in my life haha
Alton: *uses jar lid to weigh ghee*
Me: *uses whole bowl on scale*
Made popcorn in a cast iron wok. Came out awesome. It also has a handle to make it super easy.
world's acting as if there's nothen to do. My homework load probably tripled due to online classes.
If you had a job you could be not busy :O
@@OhNoTheFace I did /have/ a job :( Worked for the university.
Feels like my middle schooler is in college: )
My son feels your pain.
I'm lucky enough that my work can be done from home, but all that means is that I end up working even more. Tough to separate work from "before/after work" when you're home the whole day. Still, problems of the privileged.
Two things: Wayyyyy back in the middle of the last century, my family had a popcorn popper, probably from the 1950s. It was small, but had a popping bowl separate from the heating element, and the bowl was, in fact, hemispherical. They may have been on to something there.
Second thought: we saw your live show in Philly and enjoyed it a lot, but my wife still hasn't forgiven you for not finding some way to get popcorn to the people way up in the nosebleed seats where we were.
Stay safe, and thanks for the giggles.
If you don’t want to buy cheese powder off amazon, you can also get moon cheese. Costco sells it in big bags and many grocery stores have it in little ones. Just dehydrated cheese. Then grind it up and sprinkle on the popcorn.
1. They still sell Jiffy Pop.
2. When I was a child, before Jiffy Pop and microwaves, we just used a big pot with a lid.
I still use a 4 quart pot with a lid.
Jiffy pop is terrible
Destiny Circle I still use a pot with a lid; works great
jiffy pop is also a rip off, buying loose kernel popcorn is much much cheaper.
