Cooking latkes involves transferring heat from the hot oil to the potato mixture, creating a crispy exterior while leaving the inside soft.

Why do burgers, toast, and fries taste so much better when browned? It’s not just cooking—it’s chemistry! The Maillard Reaction is the secret behind golden crusts and mouthwatering flavors. 🔥🍔 #FoodScience #MaillardReaction

#MaillardReaction eh @staceyryn.bsky.social 😉😂

Anyone else think that breakfast cereal is addictive? All I want is another bowl. No full feeling like eggs and sausage. I'm not even talking about sugary kids cereals, but rather "healthy" adult brands that have sugar and starch. #sugar #cereal #maillardreaction #breakfast #health #eating #food

When you bake an apple pie, you're actually creating hundreds of new flavor compounds that didn’t exist in the raw ingredients through a process called the Maillard reaction.

In this Episode, Pamela Itkin-Ansari and I explore a chemical reaction that links golden toast and roasted potatoes to chronic disease, and uncover the astonishing story of a breakthrough medical test born in a place no one saw coming. #diabetes #A1C #HbA1c #hemoglobin #glycation #MaillardReaction

The Maillard reaction - a chemical process between sugars and proteins under heat - is what gives latkes their golden brown and deliciously savory crust.

As someone who did protein biochem for her Masters, I don't want to hear anything negative about the #kdrama, #BonAppetitYourMajesty.
They had me at the #MaillardReaction
Yes, it's only flashes of structural formulas & allusions to reactions, but I love that they're showing the chemistry of cooking

When cookies bake, the Maillard reaction occurs, creating a complex set of flavors and aromas through the interaction of proteins and sugars.

Thanks for sharing, Owen S!
