Perfect Popcorn
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Total: 8 min
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 3 min
Yield: 3 1/2 to 4 quarts
Level: Easy

Ingredients

3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 ounces popcorn kernels, approximately 1/2 cup
1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 6-quart, metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.

Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Serve immediately.

    That's ridiculous if it takes that much time and effort he's doing it wrong! I make the best popcorn without all his theatrics. I never shake it and never have left over unpopped kernels.
    Butter is no good for you. I use the best oil and the most nutritious oil and best tasting oil. You know what it is!
    It's my secret!,!

    Not bad but I’ve been making popcorn on the stove for my kids for almost two decades, I just did it last night and my kernels popped bigger than that. My method:

    Use heavy thick walled aluminum pot.
    Put in vegetable oil (or peanut oil) enough that it will almost cover kernels
    Put four or five kernels in around edges of the pot
    High heat
    When all your test kernels are popped it’s uniformly hot, pour in popcorn
    Cover with mesh oil splatter guard, partially cover with an every so slightly moist paper towel and on top of that place the lid. At least one third of the pot should be covered only by mesh. This allows steam to escape. The paper towel prevents condensation from the lid from getting in the corn
    Let it pop until the popping starts to slow down. Don’t try to pop everything. The ones at the end have low moisture content you’re not losing anything of value
    Put corn in a big bowl and add salt. Then scoop the corn gently into another bowl allowing any unpopped kernels and small bits to fall out.
    Add melted butter if desired but spoon out the separated milk solids first and get rid of them.

    I don’t think a few slits in his aluminum foil cover allowed enough steam to escape and he probably got condensation in there as well. His corn looked serviceable, but not great.

    When I'm just doing a single serving of popcorn, I grind my salt in a smalll mortar and pestle I got for ten bucks. Just ten to fifteen seconds, and I'm there. Half the time, I don't even bother washing it. The thing is solid marble, and a little residual salt isn't going to do anything. Lights, camera, action.

    December 13, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    Fantastic vid, popcorn is soooo under rated and can be tasty and healthy! I heat the oil first, personally. Cook with a spring of rosemary and dress with duck fat instead of butter. Or bacon fat! Best ever. Want to leave out the fat? Salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. I'm not joking, it tastes like cheese.

    December 13, 2023 at 9:08 pm

    Never pour melted butter on popcorn! Unless you like a soggy gooey mess!
    Use melted clarified-butter or ghee. They contain almost no water content, so the popcorn will stay crispy yet taste buttery!

    Just saw this and decided to try his method. OMG! It made the best popcorn ever!!! Was unhappy with couple dozen unpopped kernels when using the microwave. All the kernels popped and the salt in the pot made the popcorn uniformly tasty. Great vid. Thanks.

Chicken and Dumplings
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 15 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken:

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 celery stalks, sliced 1/2 inch thick
4 medium carrots, peeled, sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1/2 bunch fresh parsley leaves, for serving

Dumplings:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Nonstick cooking spray, optional

Directions

For the chicken: Heat a large braiser or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 4 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until golden, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the onion, celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are coated in fat and slightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir until the vegetables are coated. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf and browned chicken, along with any chicken juices at the bottom of the plate. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 45 minutes.

For the dumplings: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, cut the shortening into the flour mixture. Slowly add the buttermilk, gently mixing to incorporate. Fold in the chives.

Use 2 forks to shred the chicken. When the chicken is ready, use 2 spoons sprayed with cooking spray if desired to add scoops of dumpling dough over the top of the stew, about 1 tablespoon each. Cover and simmer until the dumplings double in size, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and garnish with parsley.

Eyeball Pretzel Bark! 👁️

Published

on



Sweet, spooky and staring right back at you 👁️

Get Amanda Neal’s recipe for Eyeball Pretzel Bark 👇

Eyeball Pretzel Bark
Recipe courtesy of Amanda Neal for Food Network Kitchen
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 25 min (includes chilling time)
Active: 25 min
Yield: about 8 servings

This eyeball pretzel bark is the perfect spooky recipe to make this Halloween season! A base of melted semisweet chocolate gets topped with a mosaic of square pretzels, each crowned with a swirly milk-and-white-chocolate candy and a pair of googly candy eyes. The whole thing comes together in minutes and chills in the fridge, then breaks apart into snackable pieces just like bark. The salty-sweet combination is addictive, the faces are endlessly charming and kids can help press in the eyes — just make sure to work fast before the chocolate candies set!

Ingredients

Three 4-ounce bars semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon small orange, purple and green nonpareil sprinkles
60 snap square pretzels
60 milk and white chocolate swirl candies, such as Hershey’s Kisses (from a 10.6-ounce bag)
60 to 70 small candy eyes (depending on the size of the candies)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a quarter sheet pan (9 by 13 inches) with parchment paper.

Place the chocolate bars on the prepared sheet pan side by side. Bake until the chocolate has softened and just melted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Spread with an offset spatula into a smooth, even layer. Immediately top evenly with the sprinkles. Place the pretzels on top, so they’re touching and covering the chocolate entirely (6 by 10 grid; 60 total). Top each pretzel with a chocolate candy.

Return to the oven and bake until the chocolates are softened, about 3 minutes. Do not overbake. The chocolate candies will develop a skin and the white chocolate could turn brown if overbaked.

Immediately press 1 to 2 candy eyes onto the top of each chocolate candy. Refrigerate until hardened, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Break into pieces before serving. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Halloween Dirt Cups
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 25 min (includes chilling time)
Active: 25 min
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
16 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Mixed gummy candies, such as worms, body parts, spiders (optional)
6 vanilla wafer sandwich cookies with chocolate inside, such as Pepperidge Farm Milano

Directions

Special equipment: an edible marker

Stir together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Add the milk and egg yolks and whisk together. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, as the mixture comes to a simmer and becomes thick, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter and vanilla until smooth and fully incorporated. Divide between the six 300-milliliter glass tumblers and chill for about an hour.

Top the pudding cups with some of the crushed sandwich cookies. Add the gummies, partially burying them in the crushed cookies, as if they are emerging from the “dirt”.

Write R.I.P. on the vanilla sandwich cookies with an edible marker, then place them in the glasses so that they stand upright and resemble tombstones.
