Cooking with Chemistry

[Marcus]

Hey there guys, I am thinking of making some hollindaise sauce using scientific lab equipment, but I was hoping to hear what other kinds of things you would like to see made.

[Teacher]

Hahaha so is it really going to be COOKING? Love it.

But is there any way you can put in some general science-y, chemistry-y like principles in there so its more general? I don't have any lab equipment here and know it will be MANY a moon before I make hollandaise sauce using it, but if there are general demonstrations and general learning about chemistry going on I will be so pysched for this!

[Marcus]

I was thinking about other ways to use scientific aparatii to look at cooking and think I am going to use my triple-beam balance to do something like show how much sugar is actually in some sodas. I say this because sometimes people will give inaccurate illustrations or just throw out numbers that sound large without any context.

Good morning Marcus. I am looking forward to your event.
