My foods teacher in 7th hour always says that cooking is a science. When you think about it, it's actually true! When you're baking cookies, you need precise measurements of a substance otherwise the taste of the food will turn out terrible and disgusting. In science you need precise measurements for your experiments otherwise things could explode if you have too much or too little of something. In cooking, you have these measurements that are mixed together in a mixture. Then you will cook/bake the mixture. This allows the substances in the mixture to bind their chemical composition together. In chemistry, you use heat to bind the mixture's chemical composition. Cooking and chemistry have many similarities than anyone would think of!
You know, I never really made the connection between the two: cooking and science. I have always loved cooking and the different aspects of culture that are infused into different dishes, and I guess that it goes the same with elements and compounds: they each contribute to create something completely new! Great theory Brianna!
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of cooking like that, but you are right! It is very important in both chemistry and cooking to use the right units, measurements, and amount of heat. It is cool how science connects so well with an everyday task like cooking!
