Creating Solid Nitrogen In The Kitchen

ChefSteps is more like an online infomercial than a cooking school, but still very interesting stuff.

Do you think we might use it as the ultimate disinfectant ? ....for difficult to access spots on kitchen utensils, perhaps ?...or maybe to serve a scoop exploding frozen bananas ?...

Thats prtty neat, so solid nitogen is colder than liquid nitrogen.

Yeah, kinda like when ice is colder then water... genius. ¬_¬

One can top off a container of perishable food, displacing as much air as possible by stuffing in this material, food can last much longer in a refrigerator, since no oxygen is available esp. for bacteria. From my own experience - I do buy milk in a smallest bottle size, but still can not consume all that fast enough, with an end result is that, esp. in summer, I had to needlessly but necessarily discard last 1/4 or so.

I think the obvious use for this is a nitrogen snow cone. It's tasty for a millisecond until your tongue freezes solid.

Seriously though, couldn't this be used as super-dry ice? I don't know the properties of frozen nitrogen. Maybe it sublimes faster than carbon dioxide, making it useless. If you could keep it in ice form though, it seems like it might be useful for something really important, like transporting lobster from Maine to New York or something like that.

William. I agree that Eugene`s st0ry is flabbergasting... on monday I got Honda NSX when I got my check for 9779 this-past/five weeks and-more than, 10 thousand last month. this is definitely the most-financially rewarding I've ever done. I actually started 10-months ago and pretty much immediately started bringin in more than 72 per hour. I use this great link, fly38.ℂom

To cool a velomobile in a humid environment, using a supply of solid nitrogen would be lighter than using liquid nitrogen. This would help dispose of those fancy calories, while saving time.

Nadobabo; Pasteurized milk freezes well. When mine reaches the age of suspicion, I make milk ice cubes. I haven't tried drinking it yet, but for cooking, I can't tell the difference. Their are many things that freeze well. My wife cannot eat eggs. We found the *best* eggless glazed donuts in TX, and bought obscene quantities thereof. She worried that they would spoil. I told her to freeze them, on the theory that the worst that might happen was ruining the donuts. Turns out that donuts freeze very well. In fact, if you nuke 'em, they're almost as good as fresh cooked.

Well, crystallization is an area of needed study still, so it could definitely be useful for that.
