The chemistry of cookies - Stephanie Warren
View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/the-chemist...
You stick cookie dough into an oven, and magically, you get a plate of warm, gooey cookies. Except it's not magic; it's science. Stephanie Warren explains via basic chemistry principles how the dough spreads out, at what temperature we can kill salmonella, and why that intoxicating smell wafting from your oven indicates that the cookies are ready for eating.
Lesson by Stephanie Warren, animation by Augenblick Studios.

Here are the Celsius conversions: Butter melts at 33.33 Salmonella dies at 57.77 The proteins reaction happens at 62.22 The water boils away at 100 Maillard reaction at 154.44 Caramelization at 180 And 350 oven is 176.66

Former baker and honours graduate from baking school here. You forgot one of the most important steps! Creaming the fat (butter) with sugar creates air pockets in your dough. This process leavens your baked product, always cream your fat and sugar until light and fluffy if you want a light and fluffy result.

I remember my sister once told me that when she was interning with this baker at this buffet that also had a bunch of desserts, including cookies, she told me they didn't have timers for almost anything in there. The head chef would just...zip over to the oven and pull out the tray after some time and always, the stuff that was being baked in there comes out perfect. It was very fascinating and hilarious to watch because she'd yell: "Out of the way!!" And everyone would part like the Red Sea while she makes a bee line ot the ovens.

Could you please explain more on how "water escape when butter starts to melt". Where is the water from, is it from inside the butter? Thank you
First of all, I don't appreciate you infecting me with the idea of steam being an alien xenomorph bursting from formerly delectable pastries. Second of all, the aforementioned statement is in fact false; I played that segment back 2x because it was freaking amazing and I'll happily carry that mental image for the rest of my life.
I know that everyone is getting all worked up about how they didn't use Celsius, but can I just say that I love this flat color animation?
I didn't mind because the subtitles in my language have all the temperatures in °C. Thank you, subtitle person.
Love it! Helped a LOTTTT for my science project! :)
I love this art style
This video provides a great explanation of the chemical process that occurs during baking most cookies and pastries. If this kind of stuff interests you then you're likely to enjoy Harold McGee's book, "On Food And Cooking: The Science And Lore Of The Kitchen". It is somewhat technical, yet written so as to be understood by non-scientists. It is one of the required "textbooks" (if one can call it that) at many well known cooking schools. You'll find most professional chefs usually keep a reference copy handy.
I've always loved baking and almost anyone who's tried my food loves it. Then I entered science class in middle school and I excelled. My teacher really liked me. People would laugh if I said that a baker is basically a mad scientist they would laugh, but lot of what I had to learn in science made sense because I baked. People who make food are also artists picking out they perfect ingredients to create amazing visuals as well as tastes and smells. Don't you love it when you can stuff your face with food while sounding smart?

***** Sure I could do that... for _all eight_ temperatures he mentions. The whole story is about the right temperature for the right process, and I can't follow the story when I have to look up the temperatures every twenty seconds. It is also a bit short sighted to think the world consists only of the United States of America, who (according to Wikipedia) are the only large nation still exclusively using Fahrenheit. Mentioning the Celcius temperatures would have made the story much more enjoyable and easier to follow. At least for me.

Well, 212*F is 100*C and 32*F is 0*C, so knock off 32, divide by 9 then times by 5 for the Celsius/Centigrade number. Or in more mathematical equations ((*F -32) ÷9) x5 = *C. Reverse that for *C into *F (so ÷5, x9, +32). So ((356-32)÷9)x5 = 180*C Of course, you COULD flip the divide/multiply stages around (so times by 5 THEN divide by 9 going *F -> *C), but that'd break the order one does mathematical equations in! :P
