 Sodium Alginate and other compounds
Hi to all the Chefs out there,
This season's edition of Sizzle included a recipe for making "beet caviar" utilizing pureed beets, sodium alginate, and a water/calcium chloride bath. I saw this procedure done by Chef Morimoto on Iron Chef America, and with a detailed recipe in my hands, I could not resist the urge to get a little experimental.
I ordered some Calcium Chloride and Sodium Alginate, but I was wondering if there are any other interesting uses for these ingredients other then caviar. Are there any other fun compounds to get experimental with?
Anything at all is appreciated, I am just doing this for a little fun in my spare time. |
