Respectfully, to one of my since-teenagerhood aspirations of food expertise, it's a unitasker in the sense that I use it for a single task: frothing and mixing powdered drinks. Hot chocolate, Dalgona coffee, especially Macha! If I was more into powdered flavor bubble teas, I might use it just the same.
Is the commentary or the cooking school the reason I never want these to end? Good Eats was a fav and now he’s back with a freedom he couldn’t have had on “tv”!
Instead of a unitasker, I have typically used an immersion blender to mix everything, and then slightly tilt it to incorporate a great amount air. Hasn't let me down and only takes seconds to clean!
The best s'more I ever had was with strawberry flavored marshmallows. About a year or two into that they stop making strawberry flavored marshmallows. Can I make marshmallows with strawberry flavoring and if so how and what should I use?
As usual, if it's good enough for AB, I get it. After watching this, I bought a milk frother. It's awesome! I challenge the notion that it's a unitasker. In addition to creating foams, it can make whipped cream, emulsify salad dressings, make fluffier scrambled eggs. It's essentially a mini-immersion blender.
I know that sometimes the taste is the only goal. But the "Dutch" or alkalized is much less healthy. The important cocoa nutrients are destroyed. So I would like recipes with non-Dutch cocoa. (Then figure out how to make that taste good, instead of being seduced into the less healthy options.)
Watching Mr. Brown make something I will surely never attempt while sipping a lovely 18 year bourbon… 13 year old me wouldn't believe Good Eats: Adult is here to enjoy. What a blessing.
Stirring and frothing are two jobs. Degassing a carbonated drink before using it as an ingredient is a third job, albeit a bit of a stretch, but a job I have absolutely needed a couple times to save time.
Which powdered milk can take the toasting and still have good flavor? I'm seeing the Nestle fortified whole milk powder but I'm wondering if those added ingredients are going to go off in the oven. Is your straight up whole milk powder a better choice?

Why don't you use whole milk powder? Personally, I think it's way more delicious and has better mouth feel.

😂😂😂I love Alton😂
I love that Alton still hates unitaskers
I cannot express how delightful you are . I stopped watching that channel many years ago when it turned in to reality tv.
You're filling a void that I've been longing for since… well you're quite familiar with the timeline.
Please keep doing this Alton.
I too enjoy extra space in my large hot cocoa mug for whiskey
I like big mugs and I cannot lie…
I miss Alton so much!

What if I over baked my milk powder and its no longer Golden Brown and now its Alton Brown?
My frother has multiple different attachments, including a mini-whisk so you can get one that isn't a unitasker!
The best s'more I ever had was with strawberry flavored marshmallows. About a year or two into that they stop making strawberry flavored marshmallows. Can I make marshmallows with strawberry flavoring and if so how and what should I use?
is that a Zweilling double walled mug?
I really enjoyed his Good Eats series. This series is just as good.
YOU CAN TOAST MILK POWDER ?

Will you please come back for us, doing a modern, online take of Good Eats! I miss it and you so very much in my life
Only Alton can make a video about hot cocoa this good. A perfect video for a cold Saturday morning.
how a man treats his dog says everything about him. smh

No.
My hubby makes the best hot chocolate with pure cocoa!
WTD brother? I aint looking to become a chemical engineer. Ill just buy some swissmiss for $4
Thank you, Alton. You keep my faith in good Americans.
It's not a uni-tasker! You can make simple syrup, and hummingbird food with it without heating.
A unitasker? Really Alton?
What's next…basic table salt and pepper from a shaker?
Pre-grated cheese from a bag?
Buying specialty mixes of foods instead of making your own?
For shame! 🙁
Generation Jones represent!
Toasted milk powder is really the secret sauce for all things sweet.
