Molecular Gastronomy - Basic Spherification

[lkrissy001]

i live in bakersfield california and after 40 minutes of searching there is no place close to me that sales sodium alginate or calcium chloride, so are there other more common things i can use?

[spacemooseable]

Pain in the butt. What good is it if there isn't any instructions?

Where does a person find alginates?

[RajaFidsRaja]

how much of each chemical is used?

[kokkie42]

Who put the music on this video. Must be on drugs.

[bkpenta]

Big deal!! Molecular gastronomy is a waste of time and nothing more than a childs hobby.

[foodepedia]

@bkpenta Try telling Ferran Adria (World's best restaurant and Heston Blumenhal Worlds Second best restaurant) that! This terrible music is child orientated though.

[me438]

@bkpenta I'd agrue that it could be more than that, it could be practical applications of chemistry. Is Issac newton's work nothing more than some scribbles on some paper? Think before you comment please.

[bkpenta]

@me438 I agree its application of chemistry, but practicle?! I see absolutely no point in turning perfectly good watermelon (or any other food for that matter) into mush and then back into spheres or blobs! Issac Newton was a talented all round scientist and would turn in his grave if he saw this!

[me438]

@bkpenta I think he'd be more fascinated. But I'm not in a position to judge.

what is the name of the song

[MoleculeRflavors]

Spefification, Powderizing amd much more. If you want to experiment these techniques at home, molecule-R has a starter kit with everything you need...

[sandralex64]

what is the name of the group ? genial music !

[abhijitvmehta]

is this argon?

[dayknowsalchemy]

@abhijitvmehta is what argon? argon is a gas. i'm pretty sure the liquid he's dipping the puree'd watermelon into is a solution with an emulsifier of some sort.

[JulesClay92]

@abhijitvmehta No Gandalf!

[m3tricsyst3m]

Great track!!!! who is this? jchavez555 dont know shit!

[punchingpower]

pweh pweh bweh bweh music

[nkip9230]

can you then suspend these spheres in a liquid... like to make a cold soup with different vegetable raviolis?

[thricexalliance]

@nkip9230 yes you can, they are also heat resistant so you could do a coconut milk broth and have it in caviar form HOT.

[garygranted]

What an entirely useless video.

[kennyconga]

what's up with the sh!tty music tho?

[zagatbuzz]

Cool video! Very straightforward.

[Sub7er]

nice simple and straight to the point. I've made the caviar and ravioli before, but i have a question. Do you find that the alginate imparts a chemical kind of taste to the solution? should i try to compensate by adding something to the liquid? or maybe it's the type of alginate i've purchased, either way i'd love to hear back from you.

[alexfliege]

no the flavor is from the calcium salt you need to make the caviar or the big spheres.

the only thing can you do it is wash the sphere in water to eliminate the flavor. but. the alginate dont have flavor!!

goodl luck!

[jchavez555]

Awful music.

[sandralex64]

@jchavez555

super music.Too old for listening that.

[napulegno86]

chimichal......

[temsaneke]

fantastic vid when you have the texturas of elbulli you can experiment yourself

[2hotinaz]

How do you know you won't get poisoned eating this stuff? Are they sure it's safe?

[everynewmorning]

Most of the substances used in molecular gastronomy are inert and largely deal with manipulating temperature, texture and cooking processes. The practice mostly uses relatively common lab/food chemistry technology combined with food modifiers and additives more often used in industrial food preparation.

Basically, it's no more harmful or poisonous than the packaged foods one might find in a grocery store, but produced on a small level using gourmet ingredients and unique flavors.

[catalyst8]

'Are they sure it's safe?'

Yes, compare these ingredients to atrocities one finds in fast food so called restaurants - rubbish like factory produced pizzas, burgers, chips, & ANYTHING with hydrogenated vegetable oil. Mechanically recovered 'meat' produced under intensive farming conditions which isn't free range & organically reared is guaranteed to have marinated in its own shit & piss for the entirety of its life on a diet of artificial hormones e.g. melegestrol acetate & zeranol.

[Garytherapgod]

does anyone know the quantities in which you make the solution?

[FroggyVector]

2 Grams Natriumalginate 200Mls Of Juice Blend Juice and Alginate set solution aside and allow to Degas (This could take several hours) 5 Grams of calciumalactat Disolve calcium in 500MLs Of Water (Ideally you should take water with a low calcium content) Drip Juice into calcium bath. Rince in water. Serve

[phil56]

Anyone know the song on this vid?

[zacre]

buy all this stuff at cocinerosinfo dot c o m

[CescoPisicoli]

fantastic vid!

[greenteam17]

great video. i am just starting to make "caviar" in the kitchen i work in and need a little help.how do i know how much sodium alginate?

[gont72]

best techniques ever!!

how is that work???

[drey102782]

did you clarify the watermelon juice first?

[628560]

mixture between sodium alginate annd calcium chloride in first bowl, water to wash off any chemicals in second bowl

[jstocks2]

hey

were can i find calcium chloride and sodium alginate?

[icemansda1]

you can google willpowder...

[icemansda1]

hey do u know how much sodium alginate and calcium choride is needed? i know the alginate is powered form,

and where can u purchased this stuff?

lo mejor

[cccwebzine]

Interesting video

[HKCgirl]

what fluid is this?
