Heat Transfer and Browning Foods
Cooking For Engineers - Kitchen Notes: Heat Transfer and Browning Foods
Opening the box, I noticed the instructions mentioned placing the frozen pizza on a shiny, metallic disk but only if I used the microwave and not the oven. This got me thinking about the effect of the disk on the pizza and so I did a little research on the browning of foods.
I think its a really great article, albeit old, about heat transfer and why foods brown. The funniest thing to me though, is that engineers really do read this cooking blog, because there are some extremely long and well written comments about how the author was incorrect because he oversimplified and all sorts of nit picky things that engineers like to nit pick about.
