Molecular Gastronomy: Spherification, Espuma, Liquid Nitrogen and Siphons

Molecular gastronomy brings the science lab into the kitchen. Spherification turns juices into soft spheres and caviar-like pearls; gelification sets liquids into gels; a siphon charged with gas makes espumas, light foams; liquid nitrogen freezes ice cream in seconds; and a centrifuge or a rotary evaporator separates and concentrates flavors.

Deconstruction serves a classic dish as its separate parts, and sous vide cooks food in a bag at an exact temperature. Three words are 14 letters long, the longest in the grid.

Molecular Gastronomy Terms Vocabulary: 12 Words to Find

Words run across, down, and diagonally; 3 of the 12 read backwards. The longest words are Deconstruction, Emulsification and Spherification, with 14 letters each.

  • Caviar: In modern cooking, tiny gel pearls of juice or sauce made to look like fish eggs.
  • Centrifuge: A machine that spins liquids very fast to separate them, used by chefs to clarify juices.
  • Deconstruction: Serving the parts of a classic dish separately, so the diner puts it back together.
  • Emulsification: Mixing two liquids that normally separate, like oil and water, into a smooth sauce.
  • Espuma: Spanish for foam: a light foam made with a siphon.
  • Gelification: Turning a liquid into a gel with agar, gelatin or other gelling agents.
  • Hydration: In baking, how much water a dough holds compared with its flour; in modern cooking, adding liquid.
  • Nitrogen: Liquid nitrogen, at -196 °C, used to freeze ice cream and create smoky effects in seconds.
  • Rotary: As in rotary evaporator, a lab machine chefs use to distill flavors at low temperature.
  • Siphon: A whipped-cream siphon charged with gas, used to make foams.
  • Sous: As in sous vide, French for "under vacuum": cooking sealed food in a precise water bath.
  • Spherification: Turning a liquid into soft spheres with a thin gel skin, using alginate and calcium.

How to Solve the Molecular Gastronomy Terms Word Search

Three words have 14 letters: "deconstruction" and "emulsification" read backwards, "spherification" reads normally. "Caviar" has the only V and is diagonal, like "siphon", "espuma" and "sous". "Nitrogen" reads backwards.

Molecular Gastronomy Experiments for the Classroom

  • Make juice pearls with sodium alginate and a calcium bath.
  • Whip a foam with a hand blender and a pinch of lecithin.
  • Ask students to "deconstruct" a familiar dish on paper.
