Processing means
Low temperature slow cooking
Slow Cook is a principle put forward by two founders of molecular cooking, which has been developed for several years.
molecular gastronomy
Hours to dozens of hours of cooking at 50 ~ 60 degrees will refine the taste of food. However, the transformation of cooking equipment has shortened the preparation time by hours or even days.
Taste pairing
Why do tomatoes taste best when fried with eggs? Taste pairing theory is one of the most classic theories of molecular cooking. They suggest that although the ingredients are different, if they have the same volatile particles, they can stimulate the same kind of sensory cells in the nose if they are eaten together.
nitrogen (N)
Such a scene is very common in molecular cooking: black sesame paste is poured into a vacuum tank, injected with nitrogen and put into a freezer, so that the nitrogen can press the particles more finely under vacuum; Or put the champagne-flavored lemon Sorbet in liquid nitrogen, and condense it into a shape similar to a small French cookie.
Food decomposition
This theory is called Deconstructivist. People change the shape of food by quick freezing and vacuum slow cooking, so as to get its core taste. What enters your mouth may be just a touch of smoke, but it may bring you the same feeling as braised pork.
