The Science of Baking – Realtime!

Josh has recently opened his Science Kitchen, based at the University of Leicester, as part of his new role as Science Communication and Engagement Champion. 

Here, he’s putting his Asynt DrySyn (oil-free heating blocks) and CondenSyn (waterless air condensers) to work, running fantastic dual aspect demo’s and video sessions. 

He told us:

“As a chemist by trade and avid baker, I’m extremely passionate about sharing the many ways chemistry influences our daily lives, particularly its parallels with baking, and what better way to do this than with a cake demonstration.

 

I’ve always hoped to use my platform to showcase how exciting chemistry can be and I’m thrilled to be partnering with Asynt to bring this to life using their DrySyn heating block range. And who knows, maybe this could be the future of baking!”
