How To Carbonate Fruit and Make Crunchy Honey

Cara Nicoletti is joined by Wylie Dufresne, the American chef behind wd-50 that helped bring molecular gastronomy to NY, to show us how to add a scientific twist to a classic cheese plate. First he carbonates fruit slices by adding C02 to a siphon, then freezes honey by drizzling it into liquid Nitrogen. Both are added to creamy ricotta spread onto roasted bread, creating a texturally surprising taste experience.

"it looks like its boiling but its really going from a liquid to a gas" UM you mean like BOILING because that is exactly what boil means!

I accidentally carbonated a whole picnic once. Turns out dry ice shouldn't be used in a sealed cooler. We thought everything had gone bad because it made our tongues feel really odd, and threw out most of it before we realized what had happened. Carbonated avocado is...not great.

I hope that area was well ventilated. A risk of using liquid nitrogen is the amount of expansion that occurs when it goes from liquid to gas can push oxygen out of the room.

"It looks like it's boiling, but actually it's going from a liquid to a gas." Yep, that's what boiling is, chef.

“ -321. That’s cold!”
“Water freezes”
“It’s a thermos. It’s meant to hold cold liquids it’s a thermos.”
“It looks like it’s boiling but it’s really going from a liquid to a gas”
“Some things don’t last forever but they are fun when they do”

This man got facts!

I see Cara, I smash like! it's that simple!

[yattaguru]

Is he touching that liquid nitrogen can with his bare hands?

[BIGT-tggu]

It looks like it’s boiling because it is . Liquid nitrogen has a much lower boiling point than h2o

[MrDjeba]

Most useless plugg for nitro brew coffee

[jreliford]

1. Pointless food. 2. Neglecting safety while using liquid nitrogen.

That fruit coming out of the container looked like an alien 👽 being born.

[hannes]

Where can i get that fizzy fruit maker bottle?

[spencerwinson]

Okay. the first 15 seconds are iconic! Can't wait to make this... if I'm brave enough!

[Mr_Stanley]

Why does anyone like carbonated fruit? It tastes like it's gone off.

[joshuakeddy]

🔥 gotta find some liquid nitrogen ASAP yo

[christyxy]

Why do I watch food vids that I’ll never make? Well I’ll go make coffee no bubbles.

My thirst for tacos must be quenched 🌮
