The Chemistry of Cooking: Physical and Chemical Reactions
Have you ever wondered why your pancake batter changes from a liquid to a fluffy solid when it s cooked? This is because of chemical and physical reactions. When you mix flour, eggs, and milk, they form a new substance - pancake batter. This is a physical reaction. But when you cook the batter, it changes color and texture. This is a chemical reaction, where heat causes the ingredients to form new substances that make delicious pancakes. So the next time you re cooking, remember, there s a lot of science in every dish!
