9 scientific cooking methods:
1) put it over fire
2) refer to 1
samaraiboy not 9
Stinoo repeat 3 more time, the last step is still put it over fire, but by this round the food is burnt.
1) *on stove

You need more likes.
So are just gonna gloss over the fact that Sodium (Na) Alginate (C6H7O6) spells out "NaCHO" in it's formula form?
Our own little 3d world i came down here to see if anyone said that lmao
Same.
6:25, loved how they specifically used "outward inertia force" instead of centrifugal force to not spark a war in the comments
I thought I was gonna learn something new, but I've learned all this from shokugeki no soma
Sous vide wasn't a part of it last I checked. But hey, i learned about sous vide from putting chicken in a bag in a dishwasher...
mkmasterthreesixfive you can also poach salmon in a dishwasher. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
I didnt know you could cook with a dishwasher!
lol yeah XD
Lupusk9 Entertainment SORTED food (great cooking channel) made an episode on dishwasher cooking. Twas noice.
I'm getting Shokugeki no Soma flashbacks from this video

Molecular gastronomy is one of my favorite cuisines I got to learn at culinary school. Unfortunately it's very expensive, not only to study but also to eat it. Most molecular gastronomy restaurants cost up to 14,000 dollars to eat there. But, the food the chefs make are a piece of art... And don't make me get started with the foams and airs. Those things are so cool and odd
"Most molecular gastronomy restaurants cost up to 14,000 dollars to eat there." That then suggests that there eixsts is a minority of molecular gastronomy restaurants which cost even more than $14K. Do let us know more.
There were a number of such restaurants before the pandemic where you could have a sumptuous experience for under 600 euros; even top-rated El Bulli had a typical tab of 250 euros, however it closed in 2011 and so is no longer current. Of course, "up to" always also includes the number zero, and everything in between 0 and your upper limit. Your claim is not honestly sustainable.
Would you like to share some of the things you learnt
$14,000.00 is an unacceptably high price to enjoy food. There is no justifiable reason for that price other then they want to make some shmeckles. I aspire to provide delicious meals without that ungodly price. At $14k I expect spontaneous orgasm from the food I consume and anything less is corruption.
I just wanted to comment that this reminded me of Alton Brown's "Good Eats."
That show in particular is what really got me interested in food science // gastronomy. It's super fascinating and has definitely given me more tools to work with whenever I make anything to eat!
I love these longer episodes of SciShow on Sundays. They're always very interesting and informative, and there is also very little to watch on Sundays elsewhere.
I was watching this as I burned my mouth eating a hot pocket.

The hotpocket sauce is on fingers.
Transglutaminase, specifically endogenous tissue transglutaminase, is also found in humans (our tissues) and is one of the things attacked by the immune system during a celiac's auto-immune response when gluten is ingested.

At 4:20 the food compounds spell out NaCHO
I saw that too, had to pause the video and scroll through the comments at that point to see if people were talking about it! lol.
Lol,at 420 too
and what do you do on 4/20

I was trying to make caramel sauce the other day with coconut oil instead of butter. Butter is an emulsifier, so it mixes into the melted sugar very easily. However, the coconut oil was just pooling on top of the melted sugar without actually mixing in. This is when I realized that caramel is actually an emulsion, and that fat can't actually dissolve in melted sugar. My solution was to put some egg yolk into another bowl and slowly mix the hot caramel and oil into the egg slowly, as if I were making a mayonaise or hollandaise. It actually worked, and tasted great!
I should get some lecithin though. It's less likely to cause food poisoning than raw egg yolk.
Ian Krasnow Raw egg is dangerous even more so if you do not know the method of safely storing eggs, in U.S eggs need to be refrigerated since they are processed that remove its natural coating protection. While in most other place including U.K, you should never refrigerated an egg, also egg is good around 2 weeks to a month, put the eggs in a bowl of water, if it floats up, throw it away.
caramel is made at 248C, I'm pretty sure any small amount of egg slowly added in will cook thoroughly enough to be safe. I like my eggs runny, well the yolks at least, and still fine.
The dangers are a tad overstated. If you're buying typical supermarket eggs, the chances of getting an infected egg is in the neighborhood of 1 in 30,000. The chances you'd actually get an infection is further lowered by how healthy your immune system is. Sure there is no reason you should be eating raw eggs, but that also doesn't mean eggs that aren't scrambled aren't cooked. Caramel is extremely hot, and even though it cools as it's poured, eggs can safely cook cooler than is required for the proteins to congeal. I'm sure this person was perfectly safe eating egg mixed with hot caramel.
Radjehuty I used to eat raw eggs all the time.
Basically any time I was watching a rocky movie.
If the egg yolk mixture got up to 140F, it's probably safe. If the egg mixture got to 160F, it's definitely safe.

Read the comments as well as the article.
How would you get lecithin? Get someone who works in a food factory to steal a little for you? I can't imagine buying it in less than industrial quantity.

No, no, no. Cooking is making dead things more dead.
Happy to see spherification on here! I once helped a restaurant make Tequila Caviar with the process, good stuff.
Did it taste good?
2 people burn water when they cook
some peopel just can't refrain from using chlorine triflouride as a substitute for olive oil... tis' sad.
jokes on you, I exclusively use dioxygen-diflouride in my cooking. With the exception of the occasional metal-flourine fire and spontaneous self detonation, it has worked flawlessly!
177 by now
get powdered bismuth and lead and melt them.
irradiate with high neutron flux for weeks.
melt at 350C, mix, cool. once cooled, heat to 250C. the mass of lead will sweat.
collect the irradiated metallic sweat, keep it molten.
distill under sealed atmosphere of air at 800C, keep product flask at 550C.
coalesce, cool, break up into powder, add beryllium, fuse into a solid again.
break it up into granules.

I work at a plant that makes organic soya lecithin, its a really neat product with a ton of uses! Way cool to see it in a SciShow video
This video presentation is a work worth angelic award with good healthy scientific information. Thank you very much.
Did I miss something? Has it been food week at SciShow?
It's the week before Thanksgiving here in the US, so most people here are getting ready for beautiful, delicious meals.
Not me, though.
Your profile pic matches your comment :(
Notice they're selling aprons now? That might have something to do with it...
not only that, as jordan said its the week before thanksgiving
What I learned; seaweed has nachos in it.

Super helpful! Thanks!
6:32 I heard something quite different from ''fluffy mess'' the first time through... lol

That maltodextrin oil thing sounds incredible! I've always loved the flavor of green onion extract in oil. Sprinkling it as a powder on top of a savory pancake seems like it'd be a hit.
It’s amazing! Saw your comment and tried it
I can totally see that. I've had green onion pancakes from various Asian food places.
Thank you for making this video.

Scientific cooking techniques... Who else also immediately thought of Breaking Bad? :)
I'm pretty sure their thumbnail was designed to remind people of Breaking Bad.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't because not everyone likes to glorify drugs and drug dealers
Legen dary So it was just a coincidence that it was a spoon full of a blueish substance, remarkably similar to a massively popular, critically acclaimed show?
yes just a co-incidence

as a cook, I really appreciate your back to back videos with food Science. cheers :)
I'm going to start cooking in my lab coat. Wish me luck that I don't end up poisoning myself.

I had a cotton candy Machine as a kid and the directions said to put hard candy like (jolly ranchers) into it,
it would heat up and spin then cotton candy!
Not molecular gastronomy that’s common sense
Please make more videos on food science!!! I absolutely love these!!!
4:16 Sodium alginate; since it comes from seaweed (like agar agar) some spherification makes a substitute jelly mixture out of other ingredients.
5:10 And now _heme_ is popular too.
Spherical food...NaCHO daddy's food.
Can you do one on cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture at 19 and would love to learn more!

lol
Psycho Wolf That's what I was thinking.
as soon as he said molecular gastronomy i knew
Mmm meat glue...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°),
It can fuse your lungs if you breath it in
Inhail it its good for you
All items were fun, but the maltodextrin explanation was especially appreciated, as the powdered duck fat I had a few years ago at Moto in Chicago was like a miracle. Thanks for the science.
Great episode
Wtf man, where's the crystal meth?
meat glue is banned in europe and it's dangerous in it's powder form to inhale. also it's used in some countries like australia by scammers to sell meatscraps as higher quality cuts.
Prassel B Most powders are dangerous to inhale. I can't think if any powders that are okay to inhale in fact.
No Name Ha! Some powders might be fun, but are they *safe*?

I'm proud to say this video is the one that make me choose to learn food science. Yes, I feel nauseated from the never ending chemistry courses but I also freaking love it when we implement it to real cooking
Very interesting video, thanks for theinformation :)
Molecular Gastronomy!!! Now that is a field I want a career in
No actual implication there
Why does this video already have a dislike? 😕😐😑 some people will always hate.
i love you

It might have to do with bots. If you have a "like bot" (a little script that automatically loads pages and hits the like button), CZcams might try to detect you (and stop you) by seeing that you only ever hit the "like" button, you do it too fast, you never leave comments or scroll the page, and you never hit the "dislike" button. One way to get around this problem is to "dislike" some random videos.
I don't know if CZcams actually does that, or if people/bots use that work-around, but maybe that's why.
I love cooking and although I don't completely understand the raw science behind it, I still think it is fascinating. I just want to make delicious meals that people think are delicious.
For the vacuum bag one I would cook it in there and the take it out then cook it a bit on a pan to get a harder outside
As indeed this video shows (then says the texture is a little strange)-

Shit yeah, a nice sous vide steak at 58 celsius? Perfection. Just make sure you follow it up with a nice flash sear on the grill
The video made it sound like you just soak a steak in warm water, bag isn't important. I'm sure that's not right, but...
Adam Olsen Yeah you absolutely need the bag lol. I actually do a really ghetto version of sous vide, I just put the steak in 2 zip locs (so water doesn't get in) and then bring my oven up to 58 Celsius. I have to check it every 10 minutes or so, but honestly the cost of a machine that keeps the temperature PERFECT isn't worth the cost considering how well just keeping an eye on it works.
But yeah, steak in a zip loc, zip loc in a pot of water... I put another smaller pot on top of the steak with water in it to make sure it's fully submerged as well.
+Jesse Crandle I wish I could cook ;___;
why can't you ?
Mickael Campoy The best advice I have... try this on CHEAP cuts of steak first lol. 1 hour in a ziploc at 58 celsius (130f or so) will yield a nice medium rare steak... but trying it the first couple of times there will be nuances of the process you learn, so to do this on a $15 steak and have it not turn out might leave you disheartened.
I'm guessing SlushieDee is either too young or maybe in college or something, doesn't have the ability to really cook yet. Even cheap steak is kind of expensive as well, so if you don't have a lot of income it might be tough to do these kinds of experiments.
Great episode! i had no idea how chefs made some of those dishes.
Great video
Any ChefSteps fans whoop when they watched No. 4 Sous Vide?
Asummersdaydreamer14 Didn't whoop, but am planning on sous viding steaks in my oven later this week

used most of those methods at work. even not so fancy restaurants today use them.
Can you guys explain why my lower jaw hurts momentarily when i bite some food after not eating for a while?
Samuel Gonzalez Probably because you clench unknowingly. Try wedging your mouth open with a few fingers, a cork or something you won't mind getting teeth marks in, something that is just ever so slightly larger than you can comfortably open your mouth. wedge it between you upper and lower front teeth and relax your jaws. it might hurt a bit but it will help your muscles stretch and relax. I did it after my jaw surgery once the bones were healed, as my doctor reccomended, really helped regain muscle movement and sort out pain.
Possibly overproduction or irritation of your salivary glands. When you taste strong food your glands begin releasing extra saliva and if you haven't eaten in a while the ducts could be restricted causing a quick jolt of pain until they relax.
I get this myself, particularly with sweet and sour foods. It's uncomfortable but usually nothing to worry about unless there is swelling indicating the possibility of an infection or cysts.
Samuel Gonzalez *Cancer*
Ass cancer.
i learned like 34 words in this video
So you're like 34 months old?

Wow, at about one minute and ten seconds in, that was a mouthful to say huh??? Hahaha, gotta give you credit though for being able to say that because I definitely would have messed up saying that. Hahaha, great job. Oh and by the way, awesome video as usual.
ugh, i keep looking for an excuse to get into sous vide but apparently they're all really finnicky and annoying to use for daily cooking
Ryukachoo really?
put in bag
hit button
chuck in boiling water
profit
guess I can't get what the complications are
Fin Gai H
apparently a lot of the sous vide machines are finnicky to set up and they have to be in a specific kind of pot so the clip works and there's enough water depth and blah blah
Ryukachoo I have an Anova sous vide circulator and I find it easy to set up! They're $150, you should check it out. Any decent size pot should work, and you don't even need to wash the pot, so it's super simple to clean up too.
Muggles always think they've performed a miracle when they've said the words "gas chromatography". GC-MS is totally standard and ubiquitous in qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses.

Apparently, considering peanut butter & jelly "a match made in heaven" is very much an American-specific thing. Many cultures think it's totally gross to pair sweet and savory flavors in this way. My husband thinks it's absolutely bonkers. Any time I talk about adding fruit to meat, he balks. He loves fruit (more than I do, I'm more of a veggie person), but the idea of eating fruit with protein, even with cheese, is just mind boggling to him. One of my favorite snacks is "ants on a log" - celery with peanut butter filled in, and either raisins or craisins on top (fire ants on a log!). Which he also thinks is disgusting. When we had baked beans at a family gathering, he kept moving his pineapple chunks to my plate. When my mom made chicken marinated in "raspberry pomegranate Italian dressing", he was quick to ask for the plain chicken. (Me too though, "sugar-free raspberry pomegranate" /anything/ is gross.) Then again, many cultures have region specific tastes. There are some countries where pickled / smoked fish is as common and beloved as PB&J. And of course, there's Vegemite. So yanno, to each his own.
kyawhitesapphire many cultures also love mixing sweet with savoury and fruit with meat (actually because fruit+meat loving cultures comprise countries with high population density, technically more people like it than don't).
I am not the biggest fan of it myself but people around me are.
the next time he has a cup of coffee, hot coco, or smoothie add several drops of your natural homemade milk on the top and call it heavenly angel drops :p
Your entire argument is moot because neither peanut butter, jelly, nor bread are "savory".
well technically tomato is a fruit, and its added to many meat sauces. Also wine was a fruit, again added to meat. Orange duck is fantastic. Cheese and fruit is very European and decent, and found also in Danishes and pastries. Pineapple is added to a variety of meat dishes (mostly pork) Raspberry/Cranberry/Pomegranate dressings are all added in cold salads, that contain nuts and/or meat. etc etc
Vegemite is something you either love or hate. I hate the taste: sour, bitter and salty. It's just a bunch of synthetic B vitamins added to yeast paste. Yuck
Delicious cooking techniques...
Food-pairing a friend pointed out to me years ago. Grapefruit juice and a snickers bar. About as close to making each successive taste seem like the initial sip/bite. I like that!
Who was thinking breaking bad?

ME!
They did it on purpose with that "blue crystals on a spoon" thumbnail, furthered by using the word "cooking."
