What Ingredients Actually Do | Sleep Stories

from The Midnight Encyclopedia: Stories for Sleep Hosted by The Midnight Encyclopedia

Tonight, we take a slow look at seven familiar kitchen ingredients — and the different jobs they perform. Baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, yeast, cornstarch, gelatin, and eggs each work in their own way, from creating bubbles and fermenting sugar to thickening sauces, building structure, and bringing oil and water together. A softly spoken journey into the everyday science of cooking, made for slow listening, winding down, and falling asleep. Thank you for listening to The Midnight Encyclopedia.
