Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on Sex
@BananaMonkey- I have the same problem...on almost any other site I play a video I can hear just fine but on this one I have to literally put my ear on the speaker. Can ANYONE explain this to me?

Flattening Chicken Breasts?
I've been known to use the heel of my clog...after covering it in saran wrap of course.

We could send our chicky breasts in for a mammogram. THAT would do the trick! teehee

Butterflying the breast before flattening has really helped me on several occasions

by the way, i tried the ziplock bag method last night, as i had just read about it myself. worked like a charm--i think the thicker plastic, as opposed to saran, makes it harder to destroy them, which i have done.

whack it, or if you have a mortar and pestle, put 'em between plastic wrap and use the pestle! Isn't that the grinder part? I often forget...

I do it the Martha Stewart method:
With the palm of your hands, push away the muscle from the center of the breast out, sort of opening it up. It really spreads the chicken breasts out and makes them large and flat!
or.....I just buy the thin sliced chicken breasts in the package!

put them in a zip lock bag that you have rinsed out with water, then whack away.

I've used my husband's rubber mallet for years. Unless my mom will's me her meat mallet, i'll continue to use the rubber mallet. I protect the chicken with waxed paper. I can't imagine using a skillet, but then again I have granite counter tops and would NEVER (even protected with a cutting board) hit my countertops with a cast iron skillet.

Put between 2 layers of plastic wrap, smack with (full, unopened) wine bottle to desired thickness. Just make sure to work the meat evenly. You don't need to hit it that hard, the weight of the bottle does most of the work for you.

I do mine similar to Miobac. A do have a meat mallet though, or "the Whacker" as it's called in my kitchen.
I would suggest a brick as well. Wrap in with tin foil or something, just in case the plastic wrap or wax paper rips. Like others have said, don't beat it to death, just make sure you do it firmly.

Sorry you got the vapors Jerzee (southern belle from Jersey?), but this was fun. Someone needs to tell the truth, guess it will have to be me. Flattened breasts happen naturally with age. Just hang on to those suckers and before you can say, "Make me a mint julep, darlin'?" they'll deflate and go from plump and perky (haha), to flat as a lumpy pancake. Why that's known as Supreme beats the bourbon out of me. Must have something to do with Diana Ross.

Flattened chicken boobs? Oh my heavens its too pornograpical for me to even say out loud. I may swoon from the smutty insinuations.
Someone fan me and get me sweet tea, Heavens to Betsy wetsy.

You all are awesome! Helpful tips AND hilarity! I used the skillet with the breasts in a big ziploc bag w/olive oil. Worked brilliantly!
And, thankfully, I never thought to get my car involved.

I used to use my roomie's empty champagne bottles. Then someone gave me a meat flattening hammer, but I think I'll use my cast iron skillet next time, seein' as how everyone recommends it.

Butterfly the breat with a knife. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Flatten with a good whack or two (or three) using a cast iron skillet or fry pan with a sturdy handle.
Viola'. Flattened breasts in an instant.

@JerseyJeff: Not quite sure I understand your question? What do you mean "Was the video killed...?"?
Chewing the Fat: Batali and Bourdain on Sex
OK, what happened? Was the video killed by any of (SE's parent company, the participants' respective networks) ?
