hey everyone I got
another food hack for
you some of them in the comments section
suggested this purification or molecular
gastronomy via ever-popular term to
describe playing with food in the
comments of one of my last videos so I
bought this silly little kit here
originally I was interested in this
process they call spherification where
you make an alginate shell around fluids
and you end up with sort of like a grape
kind of like with a skin on it with with
a juicy thing in the middle but this
little kit here came with all kinds of
chemicals there's actually a bunch of
chemicals in here about a dozen
different common food additive chemicals
that probably in the food industry are
are totally you know run-of-the-mill
stuff but it's hard for individuals to
get so these guys put it all on a kit
and I thought I'd try it out so I set
out to make maraschino cherry spheres
and my first attempt was to go with what
they consider the normal spherification
route where you mix sodium alginate with
the substance that you want to put
inside this capsule and then you mix up
a solution of calcium chloride in water
and you drip the sodium alginate
solution into the calcium chloride and
what happens is as the droplets fall it
through the calcium chloride solution on
alginate shell forms so I tried this
with the cherry mixture but there's some
sort of a problem either the cherries
have too much calcium in them already so
that when you add the sodium alginate to
the to the cherries it starts gelling up
already and really the gelling should
wait until we're dripping it into the
calcium chloride solution so that didn't
work
luckily there is another way of doing
this you can actually reverse the two
ingredients and so make a sodium
alginate solution and then drip the
contents with the calcium mixed in into
the sodium alginate solution so that's
what I did here I started by making the
sodium alginate solution and I got about
500 milliliters of water and added two
and a half grams of sodium alginate and
then mixed it up with an immersion
blender so this this actually mixes it
really quickly but it also introduces
lots of air bubbles
so I then degassed it by putting small
amounts in an Erlenmeyer flask and then
applying vacuum I had to do this in
batches because the solution phoned up
so incredibly that I would have
overflowed the chamber I then mixed up
about a hundred grams of maraschino
puree just by taking some cherries out
and mixing a little bit of the sugar
water that comes with the cherries and
added to it about two and a half grams
of not calcium chloride but actually
calcium lactate gluconate so I guess the
reason that you don't use straight-up
calcium chloride when you're doing this
so-called reverse spherification is that
the calcium chloride might flavor your
product a little bit and since they'll
be so much more of it in the final
product you don't want to use it so
after I had the I also degassed the the
cherry puree putting it in the vacuum
chamber and drawing a vacuum so then I
drew up a little bit of the puree into a
syringe and dripped the puree into the
sodium alginate solution and lo and
behold it works as described it was
making little spheres one thing to keep
in mind is if the spheres touch each
other they continue gelling and they'll
stick together so what I ended up with
here is kind of like a mat of little
spheres connected together so let me
take them out and put them in this
little cup here get a close look at it
so there you have it and they're pretty
tough I mean you would think that they'd
be really fragile but actually it's not
the case and you can kind of poke at
them and pull them around and it's
holding goop so I just popped that one
okay so that one wasn't too fragile but
you can see what it takes to actually
break one I mean they're they're fairly
robust but the thing is with this
reverse purification method they do
stick together in the bath so the best
thing to do would be to make just a few
like so that they aren't clumping up on
the bottom of the container and then
taking them out and rinsing them in
water to prevent it from from growing a
thicker gel shell on
so I may do something more with this in
the future of it there's over a dozen
chemicals in that in the bag over there
so I got plenty of things to try if any
of you guys have any suggestions I'd
like to hear it
alright I've managed to get one of them
out mostly intact let's see what it
tastes like
it's pretty interesting as soon as you
bite on it the thing bursts apart and
you just have a bunch of first you know
cherry puree in your mouth which is
pretty good the skin of it is sort of
thick it feels like kind of like a
millimeter or something like that and
apparently you can adjust the skin
thickness by how long the droplet of
puree sits in the alginate solution so
I'll probably try playing with that too
alright see you next time byeTop Search Keyword : online earning, , make money online, earn money online, online earning, online earning sites, make money online free, online money income, earn money online free, money online, best way to earn money online, online income site, money earning websites, best online earning sites, easiest way to earn money online, earn money payment bkash, online money income site
