Alton Brown's Mustard Caddy

[@Chorizosabroso]

a man is truly the king of his castle when he can keep the fridge door open for that long and not get yelled at.

[@ladybirdmama805]

+Chorizosabroso that's what I was thinking

[@MoniBahaa]

The olden times', CFC-run refrigerators couldn't be kept open for long lest the cooling gas escapes, hence the whole "don't keep the door open" thing...which leads to the yelling thing.

[@mspeir]

CFC-based refrigerant requires the same type of system as currently used in "modern" refrigerators. The system is sealed. There may have been a time where the efficiency of a refrigerator required a substantial amount of time to recover after being left open, and even now it is terribly energy inefficient, but no gases escape.

[@JPAnor]

that s not how refrigerators works ... the gas is in a closed system :P

[@TheDeathmail]

Hey, if you can manipulate time and space like Alton Brown, then you can do the same...

[@godofacorns]

An incredible, suspenseful story told without any spoken lines. Alton Brown's filmmaking skills... are highly underrated.

[@Diabolicox64]

Well he was in film long before he started doing anything with cooking.

[@centralcontrol6359]

I would quite say “suspenseful”.... but still cool.

[@penner375]

Teetreettr5trtereetetteeeereetteetereeteryrreteteretete5eeteer5eetetreee6

[@higgy82]

I mean...it's what he went to school for.

[@pianoforte611]

There was something jarring about seeing Alton in 1080p.

[@CesarTheKingVA]

I guess. Still, good to see he's still around and still awesome!

[@jamezh2822]

I think you meant haunting

[@stoutyyyy]

I miss the early 2000s cameras from the show

[@RanOutOfSpac]

And his nose hairs.

[@andmo90]

Was it the nose hair?

[@sirbillius]

That... was the single greatest thing I have ever seen Alton Brown do.

[@HOTD108_]

You haven't seen him in bed.

[@rprunty088]

I've missed Good Eats so much. This is the best thing that's happened to me all week. I look forward to more, sir!

[@Verlopil]

The amazing part of this is that the lighting when he first stares into the fridge, before the music starts, made me instantly think of 2001. Perfect.

[@hippojuice23]

Nod to Kubrick.

[@Josh_Fredman]

I read that as Mustard Candy and spent almost the entire video thinking "How is he going to make mustard candy out of eggs when things are going this slowly and it's only a two-minute video?" =P

[@richard2mitchell]

+Josh Fredman HOLY SHIT...you to?

[@Josh_Fredman]

=]

[@Jcolinsol]

+Josh Fredman He could make some kind of a very brief mustard custard.

[@Randallw2008]

Exactly the same with me.

[@GalleryOfChameleon]

+richard mitchell too*

[@testing25]

That is an absurdly high quality camera!!!

[@goaway9654]

Ikr

[@justmechanicthings]

It's like staring at a dried river bed

[@bluster78787878]

Thee Adjudicator lmfao

[@blackbeardtwenty]

I don't understand, why is this camera so good?

[@naurcho]

He was holding his hot dog, eyeing the egg carton, and then picks the egg carton up with both hands. +*~Magic~*+

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

He's holding the hot dog with his knees.

[@maroarkjr]

What a clever multitasker! Your show taught me not only to cook, but to look in other places for culinary enlightenment! Thanks for years of great television and tons of anthropologic knowledge!

[@VintageFenrir]

Practice safe cooking. Use a condiment.

[@chemikalguy]

Alton Brown is the nicest, most down-to-earth famous person I've ever met. If you ever have the chance to meet him on one of his tours, I recommend it. Such a great guy.

[@afringedweller]

That's very nice to hear. I've heard the same about Mark Bittman. Of the famous, I've only met musicians; all wonderful and surprisingly humble, for one lone jerk.

[@OptimusWombat]

Alton's got more than one container of the same mustard in there. What a madman!

[@HartleysFilms]

Gulden's spicy brown mustard! Might as well throw out the French's yellow mustard and get a third bottle...

[@billychi6961]

Alton Brown has an always will be the most entertaining food person ever. His work is a masterpiece of science, food, flavour, ingenuity, comedy, insightfulness and brilliance

[@JohnBorgen]

Only Alton Brown could make a life-hack truly epic. Okay...maybe it's not "truly" epic but it really seemed like it was. (Perfect arch of the brow, as usual).

[@Clintonium]

Love it! Putting one in the fridge tonight.

[@TheMobiusTrap]

This is such a simple idea, yet so many miss it, it goes back to being genius. Simple, and effective.

[@KHAEntertainment]

Wait wait wait... Alton Brown has a KZbin Channel now? The internet is now complete :)

[@crgmn]

You also know about that Alton Browncast, right? Right?

[@Raroata35]

Chris Greene I do now - thanks!

[@lburrell1965]

Hey !!!...A.B. I just listened to Zimmerman's podcast in which he interviewed you, I have so much respect for you, and for the honesty and opening up about what your Father and what you are currently going through. I lost my father when I was 5, I have been mad at him for leaving me in a cowardly manner for years. I wish I could speak to you , wither you like it or not I have prayed that God (not religion) would put a hedge of protection around you. You need peace and wisdom. The world needs Alton Brown !!!!!!!

[@Margar02]

CLOSE THE DANG REFRIGERATOR DOOR! WE'RE NOT COOLING THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD!

[@FarnhamTheDrunk1]

ok mom...

[@tejasvidwivedi5978]

If you leave a refrigerator open, the room will actually heat up.

[@Flyingdingii]

IT'S ALTON BROWN, BACK OFF

[@trublgrl]

This is the kind of creative shooting and storytelling that made Good Eats the best cooking show ever.

[@LeMayJoseph]

I already love this channel.

[@thismessismine]

Alton is the best. Just... a genius of food and all things nifty, efficient, and "done right." Gotta love it.

[@threeofspades663]

Alton I really hope you keep making youtube videos and putting them up. My life just isn't the same without Good Eats. I'm kind of a science guy, and the "artsy" spin the rest of the presenters on Food Network or whatever just doesn't do it for me. "Do this" just isn't quite the same as your formula of, "Do this, and here's why, and here's why that is the way it is."

[@58bobby]

You're going to be happy: www.thekitchn.com/alton-brown-good-eats-reloaded-trailer-262906

[@Billy-ww3uv]

I love that these are only ~2 minutes. Nothing can keep my attention for long, even Alton's phenomenal shows. Great job on these

[@VinnyCarwash]

Alton, "I Hate Unitaskers" Brown

[@pinkwings8036]

it served one purpose holding eggs. now it holds condiments!

[@Bassetmonkey]

Your silent shorts are epic beyond ALL measure. You are a gift to us all ... ((hugs))

[@JGDeRuvo]

I miss the cook smart series.

[@MrJackiewilliams]

1. Wooooo! 2. Genius! "The Nature Boy" Alton Brown saves the day!

[@mugensamurai]

This man never fails to entertain.

[@mishagirl69]

Over the top music and everything! Doesn't get ANY better than that!

[@JosephLarson]

I expected it to end with him trying to figure out what to do with all the displaced eggs.

[@PkGam]

Brilliant fix for a long time problem! I always tipped bottles upside down as I went because I knew that I would have to shake the stuff to the cap each time I grabbed it. But they tipped over often unless they had something to be propped up against because the cap side is almost always smaller than the base.

[@handidrummed]

I guess this video didn't cut the mustard for 9 people.

[@theblacksmith2323]

Yeah I guess they must have thought he was dogging it...

[@TheAndero]

because he used too much mustard

[@mychalevenson7710]

Andero No such thing.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

No no no! As a huge fan of Mr. Brown and his ingenious tips, tricks and ideas i have to honestly say that this is far beneath honesty and necessity.

[@IsaTehGothicMando]

at 0:51 I started to think that Alton Brown was going to turn into Howtobasic

[@goaway9654]

Lmao

[@Niarbeht]

It's a classic Jekyll and Hyde story.

[@rouletteroller]

I just shed a single solemn tear at how beautiful this was.

[@MajorHavoc214]

0:50 That look, when you're trying to figure out who in the hell put a camera in your refrigerator. 😀

[@susanjspaulding]

Alton has ALMOST as many mustard types as I do!!! GREAT music and fab video!!!! LOVE this idea!!! :)

[@RichardMNixon]

But with so many delicious mustards available, why on earth would anyone choose the neon yellow vinegar?

[@ColtGColtG]

I don't even smoke but some how i feel like i need one after that...

[@kaxfenix]

OMG THIS IS THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE SEEN ALL WEEK!!! Alton Brown where have you been all my life sir!!!!

[@cestlavi.]

That's it. Alton Brown wins the Internet. Everyone else go home.

[@BeckyBuck]

I could see the wheels turning. Great video! "Necessity is the mother of invention," which of course is the genius behind Alton Brown's rudimentary solution to an ongoing aggravation. :-)

[@niranjanbasarkar]

Which camera you are using?? also you are a filmmaker first and chef second, brilliant video!!

[@Kihidokid]

Niranjan Basarkar pretty sure he's a chef first.

[@artvandelayimports]

Nope, he started with camera work and drama and then moved to cooking

[@Araxen232]

Started rolling when the music kicked, cause the way he sat there and stared in the fridge actually reminded me a lot of 2001's directing

[@spudd86]

That's probably intentional...

[@coffeesticks_03]

I can't take him staring into my soul like that i'm sorry

[@1993Nautilus]

ALTON BROWN!! Thank you for bringing us more of you iconic and unique entertainment!!!! Our patience has been rewarded!!! :D

[@JetSetFork]

Very clever Mr. Brown!

[@ElladanKenet]

That moment when you have the mother of all ideas. This is glorious and innovative

[@bluetextonwhitebg]

this is a decent lifehack, but mine is so much better. use an empty six-pack of bottled beer. you can store them upside down, has a nifty handle for carrying your condiments around, and no scissors required. and oh yeah, you get to drink beer. ;-P

[@jennifercavenee7572]

Honestly, that's what I thought he was gonna go for at first.

[@kevinmiller472]

Also, using the six-pack bottle holder would avoid salmonella cross contamination.

[@earthpcCHClS]

@@kevinmiller472 unless the inside of an egg touches the carton, there is no risk of cross-contamination. Eggs are washed and sanitized in the processing plant, so if there was salmonella on the shell, it would be dead.

[@heyheyitsashlee]

im so happy that you continue to post videos on youtube! I love u in good eats!

[@cowgirlcurtis]

alton brown on youtube. all of my dreams have come true.

[@BBMonkey09]

I have missed Good Eats so much. Thank you for starting this!!!!!

[@MovieCompoundBoat]

I noticed you do not have Whataburger mustard in there. Their mustard and ketchup is a must for any kitchen.

[@titomanoustic6357]

He could probably make his own ketchup and mustard, lol

[@MovieCompoundBoat]

Tito Manoustic True. lol

[@heatherwilliamee]

I shed a literal tear. Such an elegant solution.

[@JasonEwton]

Haha, very nice space odyssey 2001 Reference :)

[@sallye7541]

Nice to see that even Alton appreciates a basic yellow mustard along with all the other variations. There is a mustard for all occasions, America!

[@jwaskelis]

ALL HAIL KING OF FOOD NETWORK!!

[@brettanymichellelawson-top5197]

Hehe

[@MAMorelli]

I have never been a fan of anyone more than Alton Brown.

[@timp]

Now to the question, where do you put your eggs?

[@MrZaqqa]

no, just save the old egg carton for this instead of throwing it away. If you need it so badly right now then yer outta luck - God's mercy on your soul! (No, just remove the eggs & place 'em gently in the vegetable compartment of the fridge.

[@Neg8iveZero]

Glad you're on youtube, Alton, love your shows!

[@sakurayamane3377]

I thought he was going to make mustard out of eggs! And also, that egg carton was full in the fridge, so where did all the eggs go?!

[@RaithSienar]

+Sakura Yamane Threw em out, they were just shitty brown eggs after all.

[@pounciest]

I have always thought you were a genius and this is absolute and total proof!

[@Pyroific]

Gotta love a multitasker.

[@amyziants8470]

So, for some reason, I didn't have any sound while watching the video..... Yet I found it very captivating. Love it.

[@ShadowDrakken]

Add half an egg carton and there's now half as many bottles in the fridge door... which one really solved the issue? :)

[@richardtrotman1816]

I was thinking the same thing-- a few bottles disappeared... including the round glass one!

[@doesstuffoutside]

I'm very excited for this channel. Keep up the good work, AB.

[@MrNICKADOODLEDOO]

Who has that much mustard?

[@gantoline]

Who DOESN'T? Mustard is life.

[@justusmaxson9374]

Grant Antoline Yeah I totally agree. If you don't have that much mustard life is not worth living.

[@juliansilva528]

Grant Antoline I sometimes like some potatos with my mustard (:

[@jonnyquest9038]

Fortunately I do. Can never have too much mustard.

[@TheSullivan23]

If you run out of mustard, you committed a polish sin.

[@rjc862003]

even more glorious is the fact that AB has his own youtube channel o how I have waited for this day ...........

[@DEO777]

A better solution is to design a hotdog that contains the mustard pre-injected into it. Tomorrow, I'm heading down to the US patent office and patenting that idea.

[@justinmurta2051]

cizzlebot's right.. they also have cheese injected. Next time DEO you should be a little quicker to the draw.

[@xsentrik1107]

YO BRO ! BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS & YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE!

[@VMA225]

SPLENDID !!!

[@Zadck1]

I love the super-subtle right eye twitch just after 1:10 . It's like a mad scientist.

[@teckelmn]

Wow, putting an empty mustard bottle in an empty egg carton refills it. huh

[@GrumpyIan]

moves the mustard on the bottom to the top*

[@MrXxjdm]

No, the one he was messing with was damn near empty.

[@warpatato]

Holy shit guys it's a joke

[@KairuHakubi]

well i think it's more like he used an empty one as a prop to exaggerate the behavior of stubborn bottles with little left this is freaking brilliant, I can't believe I didn't think of it first. I don't know if it would work in my fridge but it's worth a damn try

[@MrBeckett74]

Dangit AB, I clicked this video because I thought it said "Mustard Candy" and I was thoroughly prepared to have my mind blown by your sheer awesomeness and ingenuity. While the Caddy was a cool idea it is nowhere near as cool Mustard Candy would have been. You have your new mission: Mustard Candy

[@Mrshoujo]

Now to solve the watery discharge problem.

[@ilRosewood]

Don't eat anything with olestra in it.

[@NitenTK]

lol thank goodness you're back Alton. Looking forward to more!

[@Jackdoesminecraft45]

alton looks like a white gustavo freid

[@thagrammarnazi]

- Kilo - II And now I picture Alton staring intensely at a yellow bottle, like "Look at me, Mustard..."

[@NostraquedeoTX]

EPIC, that was a beautifully composed vid. I love Alton's humor. Thank You.

[@kellie77381]

Pretty smart....except I hate mustard.

[@raza2248]

:O

[@lisa_orth]

And this sir is why Good Eats should have never ended. Too many great ideas!

[@KriLL325783]

Begs the question; why don't mustard bottles have flat wide lids to stand on like some ketchup brands?

[@WHEREISTHEREASON]

+Christian Gerefalk The manufacturer of mustard could likely care less about your ability to get that last bit of mustard out of the bottle. In fact it is in their interest to have you buy a new bottle of mustard all the sooner and throw that difficult last bit out . Remember these are the same people (marketers) who doubled the use of shampoo by including the word "repeat" in their directions for use. An age-old axiom among marketers/advertisers is long been" if you can't sell the product, sell the package." to this end manufacturers have made packages more user friendly. Sadly this has yet to spread to the makers of mustard.

[@Dracounius]

+Christian Gerefalk In Sweden most brand do just that, hence no need for this...more concerned about the sausage he had in that bun, looks like the hot dogs I got on school trips when I was little and unless you drown it in mustard it's inedible -_-

[@tiny3678]

they do heinz owns that design and uses it for their ketchup and mustard

[@gracieanneturnbull3009]

I love this channel! Keep posting Alton Brown

[@justncase80]

I'm disappointed in your choice of French's yucky yellow mustard :(

[@pccbassbone]

Sometimes you just want some yellow mustard.

[@AnthonyHandley]

Yellow mustard is very Chicago.

[@misterscottintheway]

I think you will find plenty of real actual cooks and chefs love French's (and Heinz Ketchup). I love fancy mustard but there's something to be said for not overdressing a tube of meat made from various animal byproducts. Delicious as those byproducts may be.

[@misterscottintheway]

I would like to clarify that I did not intend to imply that ketchup of any kind belongs on a hot dog. Let's not get crazy now. Ketchup is for fries, mustard is for ... um ... everything else. But especially hot dogs.

[@LexTenebris]

I'm not going to lie - this looks exactly like the mustard shelf in my refrigerator. Also the look on my face when mustard is running low or decides not to cooperate. Of course, my solutions generally involve gravity generators and/or rail guns, but this works too.

[@scottseitz8516]

I kept cringing waiting for you to shut the fridge door. It was open for SO LONG!!!

[@KittyMama61]

LOL, that brings back memories. I fussed at my son for so long for leaving the fridge open, that he eventually would fuss at himself while he left the door open and stared into the void.

[@crzub]

Wicked cool.... Brilliant... This is why I love Alton Brown.

[@MetaGrave]

We can haz more videos like this, plz? :3

[@nobodyspecial91]

Alton, you are the reason I like my kitchen.

[@ginnymessina6582]

Sheila, I sent this to you, because your friend loves all different kinds of mustard, and besides, you could use the extra space. To Cottonwood & Cotton Woody with love!

[@Mach10X]

Alton Brown , I can see right through your theatrics. I know that you are a master of the condiment bottle wrist flick to get all that goodness to the nozzle. However this is supremely more convenient, kudos on the idea!

[@MicheleJames1965]

I tend to also use my egg cartons for starting new plants in the spring :D

[@ddigwell]

I miss Good Eats. Great show for cooking tips and the science behind them. Thank you Mr Brown!

[@FallenSkater1940]

You just earned yourself a subscriber with this ingenius little production

[@bartlett454]

Genius! One small step for man; one giant leap in condiment organizational evolution.

[@ICountFrom0]

This might be the second best video he's ever done.

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

Please make more videos. Thank you. p.s. I promise to watch all of them.

[@MrLargonaut]

And now to start from the beginning. Welcome to KZbin Alton!

[@Tony-og5up]

The music was perfect. BTW: I see you occasionally in Marietta around the town. Ive also seen you in Kennesaw as well.

[@GXTitanium]

This video made my day, AB,... I just happened across the link from your facebook page, but I feel much more comfy with my own Mustard selection now, after seeing the same exact varieties in your fridge haha. I have other specialty types(as Im sure you do as well) but they arent the "upside down in a caddy" type of container lol.

[@RapidCityJM]

This is the greatest thing you have ever produced...
