He could find a way around saying the brand name if he wanted to and not just the generic name. After all, you know what brand I mean when I say “grated Parmesan in the green canister” or even “green canister cheese”!
@@kathrynwitte3398 Even that might be too much if copyright lawyers are particularly anal. If he's giving one brand any preference in any way over another, you can be sure the lawyers will be calling.

@@JosephDavies: Life's about compromises. Lazy cereal snacking seems pretty okay when all you really want is a bowl of m&ms. But let's be honest here, Alton is just hiding his snacking from Elizabeth, the kale-eater.
Having varying degrees of success from working with both on- and off-brands, I am *relieved* that we're getting his recommendations! Making food with compound ingredients is most certainly a science - baking and desserts are proof!
Alton, Im totally down with the "Kerrygold". We loved it in as many recipes we could work it into. Family member now has dairy allergy, do you have a recommendation or advise for best alternative (vegan or at least dairy-free) options??
I grew up in a no sugar cereal during the boom of cereals, the 80’s, and I can ASSURE anyone that the bowl of sugar AT the breakfast table was greatly depleted on the daily when I ate Wheaties. Milk sugar sludge was my childhood middle finger to “The Man”. Once Seinfeld normalized adult consumption and possession of multiple breakfast cereals, I was convinced adulting might suck less. Holy Grail
I hate to say this, but you are so much more entertaining as a UA-camr. I wonder if it's the freedom and improvisation, it brings out the mad scientist in you that's just a tad crazy but very entertaining. Thank you for sharing these delightful videos.
I used to watch good eats when I was a kid and he was so weird, I kept watching because I love to cook. Now that I’m older this guy is not weird he so awesome!!
yea like AB gone wild lol that'll be the new FN series coming out next fall featuring AB running around destroying restaurant menu recipes on the spot in an impromptu fashion. #setAltonFree
@@DeuCeNTX Oh damn, that would be hilarious! but I hope it's a youtube series, because I don't own a TV/I don't have cable and also this way he can swear/say brand names and such, so...
Mom monitored the sugar we put on cereal, but fairly early on we realized that our bowls were white, and sugar was white, so if we managed to dump sugar into the bottom of the bowl before we poured the cereal, we'd be able to have vast amounts of sugar.... and then we'd carefully measure out the one allowed spoonful on top of the cereal.
Ohmygod. My brothers and I did that shit too 😂😂 and then my dad got this colored sugar and it matched the color of one of the bowls. We would put a layer of regular sugar and then the color sugar on top. Lol. It's only works like three times.
Honestly, I love how Alton Brown has started doing stuff on UA-cam. Its fun. I like that he can just say, yeah, i'm using brand name Rice Krispy Cereal. :) I love watching these videos.
My wife is a rice krispy purist. She hates treats loaded with M&Ms, or chocolate chips or any adulteration of the basic recipe. So, when I offered to make a "different" recipe she was immediately skeptical. In fact, she didn't even want me to attempt it because she was sure she'd hate it. Cut to the chase: she LOVED this recipe. The hint of salt with the browned butter had a rich caramel flavor. Just the toasting of the rice elevated the treats tremendously. You made me a hero to my wife, Mr. Brown!
Pantry Raid is, by far, the best thing that came out of this pandemic! I don't know what cub scout den you were in, but they taught you the important things in life for sure 👍
Alright Alton: hindsight is 2020 and I should have emailed this to you a million years ago. But I had a big life-changing event recently and it’s made me reevaluate myself and I gotta let you know you’ve always been a big inspiration for me. The fact that you’ve never been too proud to go back and correct yourself in public has always made me believe in you. You never pull the wool over anyone’s eyes and it gives me so much hope for humanity. You’re a shining inspiration for all of your fans and on top of it: you’re one of the only sane consistent voices of reason in this whole jacked up modern television age we live in today. This video is the coolest friggen food trick I’ve ever seen and Rice Krispies have always been my favorite! Thank you thank you and thank you again for always being courageous and always being true to your own form. This might sound a little weird coming from a total stranger, but I love you man. All of your fans love you. And you give everyone who watches your show hope and belief in themselves. Every time they make one of your recipes and it comes out better than every time they’ve attempted it by themselves they get a little more proof. Keep on keeping on. We all need you just as much as you need us. -A Life-long fan: (Solomon)
Ive been watching Alton since i was 10, and it still fills me with joy to see how much of a mad lad he can be in the kitchen. 20 years and hes still a crazy genius. And the rice crispy treat hidden in the box is pure genius
Alton: is usually a sophisticated food critic and chef, who teaches you about food in a fun way and possibly how to expand your pallet This episode: hOw tO hiDE cAnDy fRoM yOuR pArEnTs
I just told my husband that I found a gourmet Krispy recipe and he laughed and said...gourmet...what, is there cheese in it? American presliced wrapped kraft cheese to him is gourmet. 😂😂😂
Libby Delao, I'm sure the theory around the book and movie saaays that, but since they walked into a dangerous factory AFTER being warned AND signing a liability clause, what happened thereafter was their own mistake.
Whenever I make spun sugar (easiest thing in the world, too, I use it to demonstrate crystaliisation in science classes) I feel like Willy Goddamned Wonka when I scrape the caramel from the pan and pull away strands of cobweb-like sugar
I haven’t watched Alton brown in years, it brings back so many fond memories of my childhood seeing him make food and teaching us how to make it, thank you for posting this on UA-cam :)
@@elizabethlibero1878 and if we let them know we know then they get sneakier, and everything escalates. So if it ain't important say nothing :), I learned that as a kid and applied that as a Dad.
We are converted!!! Tried this today and the toasted cereal + the browned butter made a slightly carmel taste. We forgot the kosher salt this time, but know it will make it even better! Thanks for the great spin on an old classic. Love making this on the stove top as opposed to microwave. Eating warm is a gooey wonderment of tastebud pleasure. Thanks Alton Brown!!!
Thank you for being here. The Quarantine Kitchen episodes are brilliant!! Food Network should pick it up and add it to their new "After Dark" format. *Hint Hint*
Absolutely. There's NOTHING wrong with just cooking good food and sitting down (or standing up, as Alton and Elizabeth do in their QQ videos). Who ever thought that the cooking 'contest' was a better idea? Sorry, Iron Chef and Chopped, I'm so over it!
I must say the "box trick", is incredible cleaver in a deviously juvenile way... 0_o I love how you can say, "It was the Boy Scouts who me showed how mom.... ~_
@@SwEPooD hmmmm I haven't eaten boxed cereal's since the inner package was made of waxed paper. but then again who say one must use the inner liner. the box is still paper cardstock I believe. ^_^
I met Alton Brown at a book signing in Seattle. He signed books for 3 hours and was just as nice to the last person in line (I was like 3rd from last) as he was to the first. He’s a class act. Love this guy.
1: thank you for the Fluff reference. The New Englander in me is pleased. 2: Forming the treats in the cereal box is truly diabolical and I am deeply impressed. Momma can't be mad for that. I know I wouldn't be.
When we got a stand mixer, I had to make Alton’s marshmallows. Then I used those marshmallows to make Rice Krispie Treats. BEST EVER. Just sayin it’s worth it.
I finally got around to making this. My wok was nowhere near big enough to properly toast the rice without the considerable risk of burning the bottom layer, which in Alton's own words, "would not be good eats." But the brown butter and the pinch of salt? Absolutely fantastic. And it never occurred to me to put everything back in the box, saves on the washing up after.
Gotta love Alton! That guy can cook anything and doesn’t take himself too seriously!!! He’s kinda like a wreck you can’t look away from!!! He’s so smart it’s scary though! Lol
I've got a wok, rice crispys,expensive butter, and the jet puffed marshmallows! This is the third time watching this video, and im ready to make them!!!- only im putting them into a 13/9 glass pan, to cool in. Then i will cut the bars, and wrap them individually with press and seal saran wrap, then put them in a gallon size ziplock baggies. Because even though my pan has a lid, they got stale. Thanks for the new twist in this recipe!!!
Before I clicked on this I said to my husband, “If he doesn’t brown the butter I’m going to be so disappointed..” But of course he browned the butter.... how could I doubt Alton like that?
I had to double-check myself when the gasp was audible when he said he’d toast it and I was drinking a big gulp of my ginger tea. I was like “my imagination is loud today ...oh, wait.” 😅😅😅
My grandpa used to love watching you on tv, i never got to watch it with him because he died before i got to meet him, but my family always tries to watch re runs of your show, thank you for making my grandpa happy during his final years.
I believe that Good Eats ran a “contest” years ago asking viewers to send in their best home made video of being Alton Brown and doing their own imitation Good Eats segment of some kind. Alton at home like this, doing these segments, and submitting it, would have at least gotten a great 3rd place, maybe 2nd even. 😜. Just kidding. These are awesome! I’ve been a big fan for years, and cooked along with you many times. Love the informality, the brand discussion, and you just being here. Thanks for sharing your passion and reminding us how fun things can be with the right viewpoint.
@@RoninXDarknight I was gonna say, he lost it years ago. He just has to keep his gig on Food Network so he covers it up. UA-cam tho... has let the cat out of the bag!
there was a Good Eats episode that discussed how the more expensive brands differ, and whether it's worth bothering to get them. like european butter (we see Irish butter a lot where I shop) has a different crystal structure because it's churned longer, or something like that? so if you're going to use it for something like pie crust or scones, it's worth getting, because it melts more slowly I think... maybe I have that backwards, but it's damn tasty.
I so love your humor! I follow the directions on the box, plus add salt and vanilla. Once I add the cereal to the melted marshmallows, I add another cup or two of whole marshmallows. As you stir everything together, the marshmallows melt but stay together in the most yummy globs of extra goodness. They get rave reviews every time I make them.
This man taught me to cook when I was 7 years old and my mom was working to pay the bills. It was just me and a remote. Thank you for letting me help my mom the best I could bro!!! And it came out amazing!!!! Love you G
My little sister would use a long-handled spoon to carefully remove the innards from a jar of Marshmallow Creme, without disturbing the thin, thin layer she left lining the jar, then replace the jar in the cupboard.
Alton's marshmallow recipe is the only one I've ever used. Straightforward, relatively easy, and delicious. Why even bother trying a different recipe, right? 😄 Hope you enjoyed your goodies!
My oldest daughter made salted browned butter rice krispie treats last week and she’s now my favorite daughter. These are a total game changer. We’ll have to try toasting the cereal though next time - nice touch!
I have really enjoyed having you do these. I enjoyed good eats and I missed having you create things. I know you were around, but it is in this setting where your personality shines.
Alton Brown raised me via Food Network & is 110% the reason I'm the host of every family event & in charge of alllll the cooking that comes with it 💪🏽🥰..... And for that I also secretly cuss Alton out on holidays when I'm in the kitchen whippin & stressed to the max 😆🤣 No but really, since a very young jit, 8yrs & up I would be glued to the TV, watching Alton and taking in every golden nugget he gave throughout his career on the Food Network 😀. THANK YOU SiR ALTON. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Our "recipe" is almost the exact same, save for one addition. We add in chopped rosemary! Fricken' phenomenal! Always a hit at the family gatherings....back when we could have gatherings.
Omg 😆 I laughed so hard my kid came over to see if I was ok😂🤣 Alton is even funnier when not scripted. I LOVE YOU ALTON! You make this all a LOT BETTER!
Alton seems so happy that he can actually tell people to use the products he likes instead of some generic name
He's probably more happy that he doesn't have to cover up names images or censor what he says.
It's effective educational communication.
He could find a way around saying the brand name if he wanted to and not just the generic name. After all, you know what brand I mean when I say “grated Parmesan in the green canister” or even “green canister cheese”!

I’m loving this slightly angry, but free Alton Brown
“ I’m not cleaning it up”
The amount of chaotic energy this man exudes is ridiculous
My thoughts exactly. It's absolutely beautiful.
It's all the sugar.
Petition for Good Eats to just move to UA-cam with Alton Brown a camera guy and a dude to clean up the mess...
Or keep Good Eats and Pantry Raid. Double win for all of us.
I second that motion 😁
Kierfnen SO MUCH UNBRIDLED POTENTIALITY!!!
I will gladly clean up the mess.
Clean up guy can be thing😂
The fact that Alton's mom let him unsupervised in the kitchen long enough for him to make these says a lot about his personality. lmao
And apparently was worried about him eating too much candy, but had no trouble with him eating cereal straight from the box. :p

Your point?
My wife's recommendation is to butter the spatula so the ingredients don't get stuck. Works well. Plus, more butter is better
Oooh good tip!
That's what we do.
Alton Brown is a national treasure, right next to Bill Nye and Bob Ross
Julie Yen Alton is not Nor has never ever been #ControlledOpposition
Wheres his MAGA hat?
Bill Nye kinda fucked up his whole brand though, his netflix show was god-awful.
I wander if Canada would take bill nye, maybe we could trade them another actually good national treasure if they will take bill nye as a package deal
Bill Nye????
I feel like this series is just a way for Alton to tell us his favourite brands
Having varying degrees of success from working with both on- and off-brands, I am *relieved* that we're getting his recommendations! Making food with compound ingredients is most certainly a science - baking and desserts are proof!
Too bad he couldn't make as much money here on UA-cam...I like these shorts.
and to finally use the “gasp” button on his soundboard apparently
Alton, Im totally down with the "Kerrygold". We loved it in as many recipes we could work it into. Family member now has dairy allergy, do you have a recommendation or advise for best alternative (vegan or at least dairy-free) options??

I did that with total.
Ate Frosted Flakes with sugar...still trying to kick the habit years later
We did the same thing with corn flakes, rice crispies and Cheerios... So much added sugar you'd drink grainy sugar milk at the end.
What happened to sugar bowls? I think they disappeared when the little pastel packets took over. Loved me some sugar in the 70s and 80s 😂
I think Alton is getting more unhinged as quarantine goes on...I love it, Alton uncensored!

Can we not tell Alton when the shelter in place is over so we can watch him slowly unravel and continue to give us this amazing content?
Gotta love Alton! That guy can cook anything and doesn’t take himself too seriously!!! He’s kinda like a wreck you can’t look away from!!! He’s so smart it’s scary though! Lol
Darn it Alton Brown! You are now a national treasure keep teaching me the art of cooking. Long time fan.
I've got a wok, rice crispys,expensive butter, and the jet puffed marshmallows! This is the third time watching this video, and im ready to make them!!!- only im putting them into a 13/9 glass pan, to cool in. Then i will cut the bars, and wrap them individually with press and seal saran wrap, then put them in a gallon size ziplock baggies. Because even though my pan has a lid, they got stale. Thanks for the new twist in this recipe!!!
Before I clicked on this I said to my husband, “If he doesn’t brown the butter I’m going to be so disappointed..”
But of course he browned the butter.... how could I doubt Alton like that?
4:31 I didn’t know I needed a marshmallow flip in a wok in my life, but yep, I do.
I had to double-check myself when the gasp was audible when he said he’d toast it and I was drinking a big gulp of my ginger tea. I was like “my imagination is loud today ...oh, wait.” 😅😅😅
I gasped out loud a split second before the soundtrack did, and then felt validated
As a young boy I loved watching good eats whenever possible. Good to see your alive and well my friend, very few have your charm!
My grandpa used to love watching you on tv, i never got to watch it with him because he died before i got to meet him, but my family always tries to watch re runs of your show, thank you for making my grandpa happy during his final years.
a privilege.
Putting it back in the box is genius, as there's one less thing to wash.
A little bit of molten plastic is always good, eh?
@@oceyho What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger! Quit worrying so much!
I believe that Good Eats ran a “contest” years ago asking viewers to send in their best home made video of being Alton Brown and doing their own imitation Good Eats segment of some kind. Alton at home like this, doing these segments, and submitting it, would have at least gotten a great 3rd place, maybe 2nd even. 😜. Just kidding. These are awesome! I’ve been a big fan for years, and cooked along with you many times. Love the informality, the brand discussion, and you just being here. Thanks for sharing your passion and reminding us how fun things can be with the right viewpoint.
Putting the mix back into the bag... BRILLIANT.
Altom, not only do I enjoy your great recipes, I enjoy your sense of humor. you are a blessing in these times of distress,
Alton please, please promise to not stop the videos when this is over.. definitely a highlight of my day, and I’m sure others as well...
It was "Pop" that died in the browning process.
They say that “once you pop, you can’t stop.” Next up the Trix Rabbit.
Is that why he never came back from "getting a pack of cigs"?
RIP POP
He's losing his mind and I'm ok with that.
I think on some level, we all are losing our minds. Just in different ways. And some of us already had.
Pretty sure he lost it years ago like the rest of us 😊
So is everybody else. Welcome to the party!!
Alton's been cooped up too long.....did his wife go AWOL?
@@RoninXDarknight I was gonna say, he lost it years ago. He just has to keep his gig on Food Network so he covers it up.
UA-cam tho... has let the cat out of the bag!
I didn't know I needed gourmet butter until now, I've never seen something so golden.
there was a Good Eats episode that discussed how the more expensive brands differ, and whether it's worth bothering to get them. like european butter (we see Irish butter a lot where I shop) has a different crystal structure because it's churned longer, or something like that? so if you're going to use it for something like pie crust or scones, it's worth getting, because it melts more slowly I think... maybe I have that backwards, but it's damn tasty.
I so love your humor! I follow the directions on the box, plus add salt and vanilla. Once I add the cereal to the melted marshmallows, I add another cup or two of whole marshmallows. As you stir everything together, the marshmallows melt but stay together in the most yummy globs of extra goodness. They get rave reviews every time I make them.
This man taught me to cook when I was 7 years old and my mom was working to pay the bills. It was just me and a remote. Thank you for letting me help my mom the best I could bro!!! And it came out amazing!!!! Love you G
At 2:24, I wish Alton said “I can’t tell if it’s Snap or Krackle, but one of them is about to POP. “
Also, 2:28 “ I’m burning...” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And then ate Pop 😂
DAMNIT!
@@AltonBrown Writing is always easier in hind-sight.
That would have been perfect lol.
This is what I expected him to say...
Mandela effect is in full swing, because I thought he did say that until I saw this comment.
My little sister would use a long-handled spoon to carefully remove the innards from a jar of Marshmallow Creme, without disturbing the thin, thin layer she left lining the jar, then replace the jar in the cupboard.
"Could we make our own marshmallows?" Well I've a stand mixer, that episode of Good Eats ready to go, and nothing better to do, so... yes?
Alton's marshmallow recipe is the only one I've ever used. Straightforward, relatively easy, and delicious. Why even bother trying a different recipe, right? 😄 Hope you enjoyed your goodies!
I've considered it. Them I remember my apartment kitchen is tiny and I dont have space to safely juggle molten sugar.
I watched Good Eats growing up and you're still my favorite chef of all time. Good to see you cooking again, Alton.
I never stopped.
@@AltonBrown Well shoot, more fool me then!
Always a handy yet a very tricky idea. I love Alton Brown always have always will.
So we can cross cereal boxes off the uni-tasker list.
Dang right
And here we observe Alton Brown, slowly morphing into the mad culinary genius we all knew was hiding inside all along
My oldest daughter made salted browned butter rice krispie treats last week and she’s now my favorite daughter. These are a total game changer. We’ll have to try toasting the cereal though next time - nice touch!
I have really enjoyed having you do these. I enjoyed good eats and I missed having you create things. I know you were around, but it is in this setting where your personality shines.
Alton Brown raised me via Food Network & is 110% the reason I'm the host of every family event & in charge of alllll the cooking that comes with it 💪🏽🥰..... And for that I also secretly cuss Alton out on holidays when I'm in the kitchen whippin & stressed to the max 😆🤣 No but really, since a very young jit, 8yrs & up I would be glued to the TV, watching Alton and taking in every golden nugget he gave throughout his career on the Food Network 😀. THANK YOU SiR ALTON. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm totally going to do this at Christmas time as a gift!
Dana Michigan do it.
Upload the reactions. 😆
Ditto DO IT!!!!
"I feel like Willy Wonka"

Our "recipe" is almost the exact same, save for one addition. We add in chopped rosemary! Fricken' phenomenal! Always a hit at the family gatherings....back when we could have gatherings.
That sounds weird in a good way. I would definitely give it a try.
...those were the days...
This sounds insanely terrible.
Savory rice crispies? I dunno about that
@@AngelaMastrodonato I mean, yes, but I think of it more as floral. Mixed with the browned butter, it's really really good!
Just made this. As if it needs to be said, it was the best Rice Crispy Treats I’ve ever had.. hats off to you Alton!
Mom: Why don't you ever clean up after yourself in the kitchen?
Me: I'm a professional
Now for the a long version where we puff our own rice, churn our own butter , and whip our own marshmallows. We are stuck inside we need tasks.
Using a wok for this is pretty clever. Reusing the box is great, too. Fewer dishes to clean.
Believe me if there was a Rice Krispies Treats Boy Scouts badge, I would have got it.
I like these versions as much as the tv edition ones. I call these Good Eats: Real Edt.
Omg 😆 I laughed so hard my kid came over to see if I was ok😂🤣 Alton is even funnier when not scripted. I LOVE YOU ALTON! You make this all a LOT BETTER!
