Cooking With Fire: The Chemistry Of Bar-Be-Que

The mere thought of barbecue's smokey scents and intoxicating flavors is enough to get most mouths watering. However, there is a lot of chemistry that sets barbecue apart from other cooking methods and results in such a delicious experience.Ā Ā 

Ā CookingĀ is the process of using high temperatures to drive chemical reactions that change food at a molecular level.

Barbecue:Ā Open flame cooking

On a barbecue, the hot grill grates heat the food via direct contact through a process known as conduction

The food also warms and cooks by absorbing radiation directly from the flames below

That Smokey Flavour

That Smokey Flavour

  • When foods are exposed to heat for prolonged periods of time, non-carbon atoms in the food break down, leaving behind the crispy, black carbon.
  • Cooking over the direct heat of a barbecue allows you to add just the amount of char to match your taste, but some of the chemicals in charred meat are known carcinogens.
  • When smoke comes in contact with food, the components of the smoke can get absorbed.Ā Ā 
  • One way to use chemistry to make food smokier is to periodically spray it with water during the barbecuing process.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
