A Taproot Orange
aired: Wed, Feb 16, 2005
Carrots contain more sugar that sugar beets, but they have a far wider range of uses, going from salad to side dish to dessert effortlessly. The first black carrots date all the way back to Biblical times. Thank the Dutch for the modern orange variety, which they might have developed for political reasons, but which brings us enormous amounts of beta carotene (the orange pigment) that we can turn into Vitamin A). Alton tosses together some Carrot Slaw, takes a side trip to teach viewers how the eye works and why Vitamin A is so good for it, prepares Glazed Carrots that take their flavor from ginger ale, and finishes off with Carrot Cake for dessert. All of that, and good health from a single taproot.

Myth Smashers
aired: Wed, Jan 19, 2005
Myths and urban legends have a curious appeal, and the art of preparing food is not immune. It seems that if someone can get something in print or on the Internet and it’s about food, people will believe it. The time has come, Alton believes, to put some of these ideas to scientific testing to prove or debunk them once and for all. Alton takes on several popular ideas to learn if there's anything to them: Does searing seal in juices? Does hot Teflon give off fumes that can kill birds? Should you give your mushroom brush the brush off? Does a little oil in the water help prevent pasta from sticking? Learn these answers on the first... Culinary Myth Bust... er, Smashers!
