In summary then:
Emulsions make food butter.

All chefs just want to find more ways to eat butter
Butter makes better
stole your joke and re-titled the vid. let glory flow upon you.
@@aragusea lmao nice
I can usually tell when the sponsor spot is coming, but you got me this time.
True
Damn you should have said the joke
When I saw the explanation of the water and honey mix I thought "let me guess, the sponsor is Honey?" and I was right.
i should have seen it coming
it's actually one of the least smooth seguays he usually has. You could hear his voice change as he's doing it. It's like a dad joke and less of a pun like he usually has.
I feel like adam chooses his sponsors just so he can make a transition like this
he chooses his *video topics* so he can make transitions to his sponsor ads like this :p
still smooth af... the best on yt

RUclipsrs don't choose their sponsors, they gobble down anyone offering coin for anything.
I think I speak for everyone when I say this: I hope you never stop making these food science videos. They are some of (if not the most) original and authentic videos on youtube at the moment. The combination of your journalism skills, interest for food and home cooking and appearance of some really interesting well spoken "guests" all in a successful attempt to help us understand the wonders of science and food. Just being honest.

This is an educational channel disguised as a cooking channel with a sprinkle of memes here and there and I love it!

Current mood: 🥛
This is the first time I see an ad for Honey which actually talks about how they make money; I was always concerned about how they make money: if a product is free but they can afford to pay for ads, then you're likely the product, either as your data being sold and/or for marketing (e.g. ads, or ways to funnel consumers to certain products/websites, which appears to be what Honey is doing)
I agree, thank you for putting it into words. I previously described it as a customer rewards program.
Stealing information and selling it isn't new, sadly
First time I watched the ad (usually just skip through those).
This is nice to know but I don't really mind them selling my ad data. I'm just a drop in the bucket, a nobody. The effect is just that ads I see are more relevant.
Yeah, the instant some youtuber explained it to me, I went like "huh, that actually sounds pretty nice" and started using it lmao
Agreed, I often will go looking for that info and it really bugs me when it either can't be found on their website at all or is really buried on there. Like what's the deal with these new "buy now pay later" services? They're not charging me interest so where are they getting their money from? I think maybe they make people more likely to buy and/or order all the things they're interested in and maybe return fewer of the things they bought than if they had just bought only what they expected to keep... but that's just a theory. I would like to know the actual answer.
Audibly groaned at the transition into the sponsor. Adam is perfecting his craft.
“You might have just heard me audibly groan in that segue, which leads me to the second sponsor of today’s video; Audible!”
damn his power level of smooth ad transition rivals linus'

Idk Linus' Add transitions honestly suck and are really jarring, whereas Adams happen way more natural and seem more real because of it.

For clarity: Emulsifiers don't bond water and oils together on a chemical level. It's still only a physical bond. (Source: I'm a chemical engineer)
Edit: it's a physical attraction. Bond might be misleading to some folks.
Can you explain the difference between a chemical bond and a physical? I'm a mechanical engineer and would love to know more.
And please provide an example of a chemical emulsifier ( if there is one )
@@123xmilanx Also a chemical engineer here: A chemical bond is when atoms attach to each other and form a molecule. The bonds that an emulsifier makes are between molecules. The molecules don't attach to eachother, they're just attracted to each other.
There isn't really such thing (that I know of) as an emulsifier that makes chemical bonds, but there is something similar. You can add chemical reagents (usually strong acids or bases) that will react with the insoluble compound to make it soluble. This wouldn't be considered an emulsifier though since you're not forming an emulsion. If you react the insoluble thing to make it soluble then you're just making a solution.
@@complainer406 So...Van Der Waals forces would be a "physical bond," right?
One shares electron and the other don't I guess
Just a note about the glass being a liquid debate: there’s this idea that old stained glass windows are thicker at the bottom because the glass has flowed down; this is a myth. Old windowpanes are often thicker at the bottom, but that’s because the techniques to create very flat glass didn’t exist, so they’d put the thickest part of the pane at the bottom for stability. Glass is more viscous than lead; if the panes were old enough to start flowing down, the lead lining around them would be a puddle on the ground.
This is so interesting
@Nick Janssens Would glass be neither a solid or liquid since it is not a uniform phase? (Not having a continuous crystal structure)
@@huyentran2071 Wood doesn’t have a continuous crystal structure, and it’s definitely solid.
@@edenlippmann3745 Wood isn't a substance, it's quite heterogeneous. So it's neither a solid nor a liquid, as these are properties of substances.
I wonder if they started out thicker at the bottom to begin with, due to a quirk in their manufacturing process

10:02 Chemist with a PhD here. Glass is a solid. Period. There's no discussion, no rabbit hole. Glass is an amorphous solid, *not* a liquid.
Yeah, it's disappointing to see Adam perpetuating the myth of controversy.
I am a chemist. I will also back up this statement
@@mcgovemjEveryone has blind spots. People shouldn't be shamed for being ignorant of something unless it's willful.
Glass here. Don't tell me what I am and am not. Period.
@xBris @thenintendoboy I'm skeptical about the PHD now... He did not say it was a liquid he said "... to see if glass counts as a solid".
www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-fiction-glass-liquid/
"solid" isn't the same thing as "amorphous solid", because if it was you wouldn't need the "amorphous". Which was exactly Adams point. A liquid that flows at 1mm per Age_of_universe isn't the same thing as a solid.
You know you're going to learn something when he gets the fluffy balls and string things out
Those string things are called pipe cleaners. They were like the bottle brushes of the 1800s.

Hard disagree. These discussions are not "pointless nerdery" classifying and understanding the world is important to how we can move forward. Don't dismiss your pursuit of knowledge. To a cook understanding the differences between chemical definitions is much more important that people believe. Understanding fat and oil are the same is important and changes how we cook, and what we can combine.
Glass is a solid, people just sucked at making glass a hundred years ago.
I can't believe Adam somehow has looked into it and still thinks that there is some sort of rabbit hole to go down. It's as cut and dry as it comes, glass at room temperature is never a liquid.
That story about old windows is the origin of the argument but there is a lot more behind it than that. I study materials science and this came up in one of my lectures a while ago. From what I remember of when my professor brought this up at uni, the way glass is structured means it's possible for glass to flow (theoretically), but the time it would take for an observable change is insanely long meaning it's pretty much impossible to verify experimentally.
By the way, if it is a liquid it is extremely viscous to the point it appears solid hence all the other properties.
Hey guys, you're all wrong and Adam is right.
Glass isn't a solid or a liquid, it's an amorphous solid. If you don't know WHY that one word makes an entire world of difference, you haven't done enough research. Clearly, despite any of your claims contrary to this, you all did not actually look it up. The literal first thing you even get if you Google "Is glass a solid" or "Is glass a liquid" is the answer, and BOTH come up to the same answer.
It is not a solid. It is not a liquid. It is an amorphous solid.
@@NinjaLLR which is why it's referred to as a "kinetically locked solid"
@@DamienDarksideBlog nah, it's a "laosquid"
Regarding 6:25, I find that statement inaccurate. "Emulsifier" defines a wide array of substances that stabilize emulsions. There is another word for the subset of emulsifier who act by bonding different ends with different substances (polar and non-polar), these are called "Surfactants".
He said "Some people will argue...", not that he actually believes that thickeners are not emulsifiers.
@@aaronli8843 still, it's not like there is a debate. That's the technical definition of surfactant. You can argue whether or not a given mixture is an emulsion, but emulsifier and surfactant have clear and distinct definitions.
As a fluid dynamicist, I love when fluid dynamics shows up in random places. Fluids are everywhere, and multiphase fluids are so delightfully whacky and counterintuitive that they make for great content it seems. More cooking fluid dynamics please!
Some of these ad transitions are getting too good adam...
Adam not using the classic "Whom i'll now briefly thank" line to segue into his sponsorship segment shook me to the core.
That was probably the smoothest Honey sponsor transition ever.
I really like that hearty "Dismissed!" at the end. I kind of hope it's going to be a part of the educational vids going forward.
"I'm not above pointless nerdery, and since you're watching this, I don't think that you are either" - You do know your audience, or at least I fit the description.
There's a small army of chemical engineers debating nuance elsewhere in these comments and me, the least engineer anyone's ever met, is enthralled - so I reckon he's got it down. :)
After watching this and the Mother Sauces series, I need an Alex French Guy Cooking and Adam Ragusea collab
I love how much effort he puts into this. This channel has become way more than just a cooking channel.
"Not above pointless nerdery". 🤔🤔🤔 Accurate, actually! Putting that on my resume 🧐🖤
“Is glass a solid”
WELL THERE GOES MY PRODUCTIVE AFTERNOON.
Spoiler it is but it isn't, but I think it is, but I will also realize it isn't.
Veritasium has a good video explaining just that.
The answer: glass is definitely a solid, but materials scientists still aren't exactly sure *why*, since its structure seems to remain exactly as random and disordered (rather than ordering itself into crystals) as it's cooled through the "glass transition" between viscous molten silica and solid glass.
@@Nerdule that's true, but it isn't. Because glass flows at room temperatures. If you measure the glass of old buildings it will be wider at the base while it slowly tries to take the shape of its container. So you can argue that it's just incredibly viscous. But at the same time it will behave like a solid under the right conditions.
@@dcd1359 That's not true.
You always have such good cooking tips! This channel is so great

This was one of my fave videos you've done! More of this hyper nerd stuff, please. A lot of people have rough understandings of concepts like emulsion (myself included) but understanding why it works will definitely help us get more creative with our food and mess up less when doing so!
This is wonderful! I study pharmacy and i had a hard time differentiating colloids from emulsions and suspensions, this is very helpful as a way to simplify and imagine things. Thank you.
3:08 Finally someone explains where honey gets their money, it always annoyed me how no one ever explains that, I ended up looking it up online but thank you for mentioning it, my past self would thank you
For anyone wondering: It's "miscible" and "immiscible"
This is great revision for my chemistry exam. Might even throw in a Honey sponsor in one of the short answers
You have quickly become one of my favorite RUclipsrs. This content is fantastic! I love learning more than just the "how" of cooking, but the "why" also. Thank you.
Adam: here's a thoroughly researched explanation of emulsions
Also Adam: less dense = "lighter"
Technically true, if you're comparing equal volumes. It's in the definition of density.
"Is glass solid"
Well glass is glass and glass breaks
U sound like you've seen a lot of em scratch at a 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.
After highschool I worked at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, NY. Great experience overall. I worked with film emulsions quite often in very low-light conditions. The whole facility I worked in was like something out of a movie. Just so different from every day work. Still the best job I've ever had.
Man I just love your channel. I´ve been having nutrition and health classes in school for 5 years and your videos really help freshen up my foodrelated knowledge :) as well as teaching new stuff in a fun way
Hey Adam, have you thought about doing a video where, through blind taste tests, you determine if bay leaves actually do something to flavor?
Alright i can't even be mad about that ad transition that one was smooth
Great video. Really do love the interviews. I think this is the first time I fully understood what an emulsion is.
I watched your videos years ago (the one with demi glaze) but I didnt get back into watching them until today. Really love everything you do, it's amazing to see someone so passionate about food! Also love your wife's books!
I was learning about emulations a few days in chemistry
He didn’t say “whom i now briefly thank” when the sponsor came on.

This is hilarious timing! Just today I handed in a video for a class where we needed to discuss what an emulsifier was and why it's used in so many products!

Adam, you actually put this videos out at a quite perfect time. I'm studying ecotrophology (nutrition and food science) and currently we're talking about lipids, emulsions obviously being a relevant part of this topic.
I have a recipe to illustrate how great emulsions are! My butternut squash and tomato soup. I cook the tomatoes with olive oil, then add cooked squash. A pint of cream binds everything together and gives it an amazing, smooth texture that brings the flavors to the forefront.

Fantastic video, thank you for nerding hard on this one.

Wow, Thanks! Informative, engaging, and well edited/well put together!
Dude, just found this channel. It's incredible, reminds me of short more to the point versions of the old good eats episodes.
Oil is about 8% less dense than water, that doesn't seem like much.
Sometimess the two layers form very slowly because the liquids have very similar densities. And sometimes the layers can even switch provided one layer contains dissolved solids making it heavier (more dense).
In chemistry, resolving emulsions can be as difficult as forming them. Sometimes people add salts to the water precisely to push the oil or whichever different nonpolar compound out of it.
Separating clove oil extracted by steam distillation is one example.

Why I emulsify my steak and not my season.
For those curious about his reference to glass: a window pane, after many years, will be thicker at the bottom than it is at the top. This would imply that glass is a viscous liquid, since it's flowing downward with gravity. Just... very very slowly. I don't know if there's an consensus on if it qualifies as a liquid or not, but it's been under debate for a long time.
That's all a naming technicality though. It's like "is water wet."
Nope. As I mentioned in my comment "old windows are thicker at the base but this is because of inconsistencies in the process of creating glass back then, not because it flows or whatever. An amorphous solid is one which changes from hard/brittle to rubbery/malleable when heated, not one where it toes the line between solid and liquid, like a non-Newtonian fluid.
