Croatoan posted:Good Eats is great for beginners. It was invaluable to me when I was first really getting into cooking because he explained the whys behind things which is super important because the underlying reasons can be applied to so many other applications in the kitchen. That's not to say it's JUST for beginners though, I've never made chicken parm because he's right, they usually pretty much suck. I kinda want to try this one. So there's something for everyone but there will be episodes that I'll just check out in the middle of, I'm sure. Another thing to warn you of, his recipes do tend to be rather basic and not all that great but again, that's the nature of keeping it simple enough so it's not intimidating for beginners. Yeah if you're watching Good Eats properly you're not slavishly following the recipe down to the letter because that completely misses the point and that's exactly the type of crap Alton was trying to do better than in the first place. You pay attention to the process of cooking and the reasoning behind why the ingredients are prepared and used how they are and the recipe is more like a blueprint than an instruction manual. The most fun part is watching an episode, and then your brain pulls out a memory of another unrelated episode that just so happened to have an ingredient that's used in much the same way as in the one you're watching and the little light bulb in your brain turns on and you're like "hey, wait a second, I think I can replace this ingredient with that ingredient, I wonder how that would turn out?" and suddenly you're actually cooking rather than merely preparing a recipe

Yep, this new season can apparently get a lot of mileage just out of having Alton skulk about dark parking garages to sinister music---the recipes are just an accent to the goings on to spark your memory and get you to tinkering. Looks like ancient grain doings will comprise the rest of the double tv premiere proper tonight.

Very much enjoying Supermarket Stakeout. Guarnaschelli being this fun is new to me, and I’m liking it.

I've enjoyed the first batch of new good eats episodes. Glad it is back and hopefully he'll be a resource for young cooks like he was for me

This Sunday’s Good Eats are followed by a previously unaired ep of Cutthroat Kitchen.

I heard it was unaired because it's the only one where someone's throat actually gets cut

I prefer the skit light episodes of Good Eats, like sauce, over episodes like grain that felt padded out.

I've been watching some of SORTED's channel lately. They seem really nice. And most of the time for the kitchen gadgets that are "useless" help people with dexterity problems. Maybe not in this one though, this one's old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsl-y8VK4ts

I wish Good Eats would get back onto Hulu along with some more Cutthroat Kitchen, I love it when cooking shows are less "make this" and more "make something probably edible"

Like, they'll throw on a half-dozen random episodes of ICA and Restaurant Impossible, then leave them up there for two years.

Not that anyone aside from youtube weirdos actually recreate these gourmet makes, but lol @ "Drill holes into the top of a salad spinner" as being one of the steps. The M&Ms looked like poo poo when she was done, too. I think she's run out of fucks.

The Glumslinger posted:Just let her go back to making baked goods and poo poo, hostess still has a bunch of things that we need to see gourmet versions of. Quit torturing her with candy Yeah she seemed to have fun doing Pop Tarts and actually seems proud of the output instead of just being happy the episode is done. I think the problem, though, with the hostess products and similar are that they've probably been done a lot. I've definitely seen homemade Twinkies, for example. I'd be interested to see if she can do things like Triscuits or a standard saltine.

The raw meat one was the perhaps most unintentionally unsettling piece of television Alton has ever produced---talk about not reading the room. Should've just lampooned playing chess with Death or something, Connect Four maybe. Also got schedule bamboozled, luckily the OnDemand thing had both episodes since they've chosen the fool's path of not just throwing them up on YT like they did the premiere.

The Glumslinger posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BriBDiBxaMY Yeah but it seems the concept of "gourmet" is getting lost. I thought it was creating good versions of junk food, not recreating junk food. I turned it off halfway so maybe it switched up at some point but she spent ten minutes talking about Hot Pocket ingredients, texture, etc.
