For future reference- 1ml = 1g when measuring water (other liquids will have different densities, but milk is pretty close to this as well) because the gram was originally defined as the mass of 1 mL of water 😊

@yinnii1

Жыл бұрын

Was going to mention this too. A much easier way to measure liquids of water density. Basically anything that doesn't separate from water will weigh the 1ml=1g . Oil being something that floats on water is less dense so therefore weighs less but even something like double cream can still work the same, as strange as it seems at first.

Kudzu and Arrowroot are totally different plants. Arrowroot is a tropical plant and it produces tubers. Kudzu is a vine, and it is actually a major invasive species here in the US. They are all over the place, and I imagine the reason they are used so much in East Asian food is because of how ridiculously fast it grows, so everyone could get their hands on it.

@labella9291

Kudzu actually grows from tubers too. That's one of the reasons it's so hard to get rid of. It's also known as Japanese and Chinese arrowroot. However, it IS two different plants in the US, as arrowroot is used in making teething cookies for babies and there is no commercial application for kudzu in the human food chain. Save for imports

@AutoReport1

Жыл бұрын

Commercial arrowroot is rarely made from true arrowroot. Yams, tapioca, taro, kudzu are all sources of starch sold as arrowroot. They should however all specify the actual source plant, but if a recipe calls for arrowroot, you're usually safe using whatever is sold in your local market as arrowroot, even if it isn't true arrowroot.

Kudzu is a vine that is called the Japanese Arrowroot. This stuff was growing everywhere when I was a kid. It choked out so many native Southern US plants. I can remember seeing buildings, phone/electrical wires and trees just smothered by Kudzu. It grows so fast. Thankfully a college student figured out how to kill it off (I think he went to the University of Georgia, but I’m not sure.).

My google search results-The kuzu plant is sometimes known as Japanese arrowroot. But kudzu root starch should not be confused with arrowroot starch. While both kuzu and arrowroot starches are made by a simple, natural process, Kuzu is far superior in jelling strength, taste, texture, and healing qualities.

That loaf pan would be fantastic for mini meatloaves!

This recipe is very similar to one that I use in science lessons to make bio plastic. It’s just cornflour, glycerin and some form of edible acid, with a hint of food colouring. Pineapple juice works nicely to make something that tastes okay. Unfortunately it has a snotty texture

I like my bread white, doughy, and opaque, with a nice golden crust! 👍 Glad I could help!

Cornstarch goes cloudy when its used, but Arrowroot will go clear, so good for sweet and sour sauces for example

Can you turn the failures into clear breadcrumbs, to make fried chicken that looks like regular chicken?

The joys of gluten free baking. You should maybe try some more gluten free baking as it is a real challenge. The challenge is what you have experienced here is that gluten helps keep the structure. When it rises the shape and structure holds. However people like myself who have coeliac disease cannot eat normal flours from wheat and rye so have to bake with gluten free flours such as rice flour.

"Visually represent the fungi"....dude you crack me up!

It's the rice flour that makes it taste like bread - if you ever bake gluten-free you'd find that corn and buckwheat flour, on their own, have a bitter taste, but add some rice flour in and it makes it taste like 'real' bread or cake... the consistency is, on the other hand, a completely different story.

Leave it in the oven to cool in the oven so it doesn't go crack the oven pull up the moisture out, just like dehydration

you should have your own cooking show for clear foods

I love your mini chopper, tried to buy one but sadly they aren't available in Australia😞

FYI, 1 cubic centimeter (cc) of water is 1ml and should weight 1 gram, hence it has a density of 1.0g/cc. I suspect the discrepancy you noticed is due to the tolerance of you scale, which for cooking is usually not a factor. The metric system is pretty cool, as it's full of correlations like this.

I normally measure liquids like water and milk on the scale in grams. They're close enough to 1ml = 1g for it to not have a massive impact on home cooking - if a recipe calls for 500ml of stock and you only add 490ml, I don't think it would ruin the dish. You can do similar for oil if you adjust slightly (more dense than water) but I always forget to adjust and it works out fine. Anything to save on cleaning up!
