Forbes checks out the newest cooking thingamajigs, from the ridiculous to the revolutionary.

on the carbon dioxide emissions that are incurred by such transport. It would be unrealistic to expect Canadians, for instance, to stop eating citrus fruits, avocados and bananas. In the same vein, there’s no reason to give...

't do this very often, as thinking makes my head hurt. The upshot is, that your rising reaction may stop too soon and may not produce enough carbon dioxide gas to make the cake rise properly. I’ll try to explain the chemistry...

I assume what the OP means is the miniature tanks/canisters of carbon dioxide used in home seltzer makers (machines?) - here in NYC most reasonably well stocked kitchen stores seem to have them. I don’t know the equivalents...

Karumeyaki (also known as dalgona) and popki (sugar cutouts) are examples of flourless sugar cookies made in copper skillets. Precise timing of the release of carbon dioxide from baking soda seems to be key in making instant...

A wine’s ability to hold carbon dioxide decreases as it warms. So, warming a sparkling wine will cause it to release some of its dissolved gas, making for a bigger pop on opening and lots of foam but fewer, less vigorous...

such as filling balloons with carbon dioxide from yeast, making sugar and salt crystal sculptures, building a pickle battery and even making gluten balls. http://www.exploratorium.edu/pr/accidentalscientist.html

I believe club soda has a high sodium content. Sparkling water usually has a broader array of minerals. I think seltzer is water injected with carbon dioxide.

It’s amazing how well a good sparkling wine can pair with food that comes from boxes and plastic bags.

Rumford Baking Powder is in good supply in the mid-west. I was taught in one of my Foods and Nutrition classes in college that it has the highest carbon dioxide yield of al of the baking powders. We had to do some baking...

think that all these folks driving all over the place to source local stuff to eat is actually reducing carbon emissions? Never mind it is nearly impossible to source grain, bread, pasta, and other staples that are truly locally...

From their web-site "we modified the traditional method of making champagne. We start with a blend of high quality white wines and infuse the effervescence." Did they think people might not understand 'pump in carbon dioxide'?

Yes, it’s alive. It’s the cellulose left behind by the bacterial culture that produces acetic acid. It eats sugar and excretes acetic acid, similar to the way that yeast eats sugar and excretes carbon dioxide. That...

carbon dioxide yield of any baking powder giving the best rise.
