    I did this for a science experiment in 6th grade I think and I didn’t take the bubbles out of the calcium solution fast enough so they were almost all gel. My class got the opportunity to eat some and someone almost puked 🤢, the gel is real nasty. Also if you want to do this experiment, a tablespoon measurement works great for bigger bubbles 👍

    As a fine dining chef, I had to deal with spherification more than once. It is good fun and you can do pretty much anything with it, the only downside I managing to actually do proper spheres, most often you get weird oblong things, the trick is having a deep alginate bath. I once made balsamic vinegar + honey spheres for a tomato and mozzarella salad and, chef's word, they did taste delicious!

    If you want to see some of the world's top chefs playing with these techniques, I would recommend search for 'MSK reverse-spherified mojito' as a good starting point. Some really fascinating stuff.
