We’re big fans of Alton Brown, so we had to post this video of his appearance on Letterman a while back. In promoting his 2003 book, “Alton Brown’s Gear for Your Kitchen”, Brown decided to share some creative highly unorthodox uses for household products in cooking. He shared homemade 12-hour yogurt, a cheese-wire-keyring slicer, a trashcan smoker, a record player icing machine, and our personal favorite, the charcoal starter steak searer. Have no idea what we’re talking about? Watch the video.
