    I was hoping that this recipe was going to turn out good but it was too tough.

    As shown it just didn't work. Did this 2x, first time following exactly did not cook enough to eat at all. Second time tried in on the grill with a combination of direct head and indirect heat (chamber at 400F still so underdone they were not edible. Third time, cut in half, pealed out the hair andI par boiled in acidulated water for 5 minutes, patted dry and coated with evoo salt and pepper, then used the combined roast-broil on my grill at medium heat for 8min. WOW they had the great artichoke flavor with some wonderful smokiness from the outer leaves browning. Still supper easy to do.

    Whoops!
    I followed this recipe to the letter and its perfect for turning a perfectly good artichoke into a decorative giant pine cone! All of your other of your recipes Alton have been perfect....is there a step missing in your written description?

    We'll continue to watch and admire you on Good Eats, Iron Chef and practice your recipes; but as far as the chokes script goes...we'll just have salad...and use this recipe for making Christmas decorations.

    all the best and respect,

    Hey bud! Love the show, but you are OBVIOUSLY not from California!!! 1st, USE A PRESSURE COOKER!!!. It only takes 15-20 minutes to cook 'em. 2nd, cut an "x" in the stem BEFORE you cook them, it speeeds the process. 3rd, pluck the outer layer of leaves before cooking, and cut the tips off, about 1/4 below the lowest tip. Mayo w/ wistchestier sauce is my favorite sauce. Melted butter is a close second.

    Sorry, AB, I've tried this recipe 3 times, and while the Good Eats recipes are usually home runs all the way, this one just never fulfilled my expectations. It was a lot easier than most other artichoke recipes, but it doesn't cook right this way. Cooked as called for, it was way too raw. Extend the cooking time, even with turning, and you have a dried, dangerous outer bunch of leaves culiminating in a barely cooked center. The additional herb & citrus flavors also were just lost in this dish. I've had to move on to a recipe that calls for braising the choke before finishing it in the broiler/grill.

    If you really enjoy eating artichokes this recipe is not for you. This recipe literally calls for discarding a significant portion of the choke. The leaves are part of the most delectable and romantic portion of this meal. I found this recipe doesn?t even cook the artichoke anywhere near completion. Stick with a long steaming process if you really want to enjoy this delicious food.

    I cut the artichokes in half after cutting off the ends to make scooping the choke out easier. Other than that it was not too difficult and it came out delicious!

    I love artichokes but was too afraid to cook it myself until I saw Alton Brown fix this dish. Thanks.
